All BetteRRRR!

First, I want to thank you, dear friend, for your support with the frogs, it means so much to hear that it is not just me, and for your kind words as this gal fought with her cranky pants.

Thank You!
Kiss, kiss, kiss!

After frogging the life out of the "R" on "Vermont" I am very pleased with how the re-stitch turned out....


I even managed to make a start on the "V" and the "E"...


I adore the fall leaf...

and the funny little cross-country skier.

And I stitched the trout pond where it should be...


Isn't that little trout too funny?

Now, if every cloud has it's silver lining, then I suppose the silver lining to the "R" cloud is that I now have a nice ball of very pretty fuzz to add to this months TUSAL jar!

We stitchers are always looking on the bright and creative side of life, wink wink.

Thanks for stopping by on this bright and sunny Monday, and hoping that wherever you find yourself today it is with your eyes to that sunny side of the creative life, and your needle threaded.

Looking good!! You've done a wonderful job on the re-stitch. I'm loving that maple leaf too.

An Irish Prayer

May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields.

May green be the grass you walk on,
May blue be the skies above you,
May pure be the joys that surround you,
May true be the hearts that love you.

And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.


Amen
Rath De' ort!
