Another happy dance in 2012! Another wip bites the dust and it feel wonderful!
Earth Laughs by MDesign
stitched on a lovely piece of light blue fabric
with recommended Crescent Colours floss
After two finishes in the first weeks of 2012 I treated myself to a new start ... I started Quaker Christmas by Midnight Stitching. I'm in love with this design!! I'm stitching it on a lovely piece of 32 ct R&R Antique Cotton ... yummy yummy fabric! I"m using the suggested colors ... GAST Cranberry and WDW Juniper ...
My birthday was on Wednesday (the 11th) and my father in law gifted me some eggs. They were my mother in laws glass eggs that she collected years ago. She's been gone for 7 years now and we miss her everyday. I was thrilled to have a little of her to enjoy and remember. He had wrapped each egg in brown paper ... it was fun unwrapping each treasure ... I can't wait for Easter ... they will be displayed and enjoyed by all of us ...
I had a wonderful birthday with my family and received a new sewing machine from my kids and a gift certificate from my dad, which I'll be using for some much needed framing. My husband gave me some money and I immediately order Sergei by Plum Street Samplers. I can't wait to get my hands on him!
Thank you all over your lovely comments about my first finish of 2012. You are all so sweet with your comments!
I hope you find your Joy in your stitches ...
I'm grateful for memories ...

The Earth Laughs design was very pretty and cheerful. I liked it a lot. Happy Birthday! and have a great year!
Such a bright happy finish, Michele... Glad you enjoyed your birthday--how wonderful to get a new sewing machine :) Happy Belated Birthday to you!!
That's the perfect finish to brighten up a dull winter day. And wow, it's already the second finish thsi year. Congratualtions!
Now that's a cute finish - reminds me of the 60-70's - flower power type design. A sewing machine and stash... that means we'll be seeing lots more wonderful finishes; right? Hope the year is a great and happy one! Keep on celebrating!
Happy Birthday! I love the colors in the Earth finish.
Whohoo Congrats on the finish. It feels so good when something is off that list especially an old WIP!!
