Let's talk about happier things ...

Thanks everyone for your comments and hugs about Maddy.  We were very blessed to have 13 years with her.  I'm not sure who misses her more, Terry and I or Chip, our chocolate lab ... he's a very sad pup right now.

Now on to happier things ... stiching and crafting!!  I finished February's Word Play a couple of weeks ago.  This is a sweet stitch and I love how it turned out.

I finished Sew Irish by Carol at iStitch last week.  I really enjoyed stitching this one ..

Monica and I are still doing Craft Night every Tuesday evening ... being the Queen of Shadow Boxes I had to make one for St. Patrick's Day and one for Easter.  I really have fun doing these and love how they are turning out ...

As promised here are the finished pieces that Faye did for me last month ... I can't believe how lovely she finishes our stitching!  I was overwhelmed and smiling from ear to ear when I opened the box from her and saw these beauties .. enjoy looking!

I love the added detail of the beaded hanger ...

Faye finished a Fair and Square exchange piece into a box ... she put the 2nd square in the lid of the box ... love love love it!

I love the chunky hanger and the button ...

It's hard to pick my favorite out of all these lovely finishes ... but I think this would be high on my list ... a lovely table runner ... can't wait till Christmas to use it!

Thanks for visiting ... I love hearing from all of you!  I hope March is being good to you!

I hope you find your Joy in your stitches ...

I'm grateful for having dogs in my life ...
