It's Mabel!! ♥

Good Morning my friends! Has Spring come to you there? Not here! It is 10º (-12ºC) right now. Oh yes, we need to remember the wind chill values of -5, the 30 mph winds and the snow coming this afternoon. AGAIN! 0_0 But hey! The sun is shining brightly.

Have a look at what I finished on Friday. =)
 This is a freebie you can find here. Well kind of. It originally had a sleeping cat. I designed MABEL. ♥
Gotta say, I am VERY happy with her. ;) I think it is just adorable. SQUEE!
This is stitched two over two on Zweigart 28ct Bo Peep Pink. Love this color. I had never finished anything like this before. But I figured, it is just backstiched and then whip stitched together, so why not?
This now sits on the windowsill above the kitchen sink. I love to look at it when I do dishes and throughout the day. Yep, poodles make me soooo happy.

I had just been thinking that maybe, possibly I am driving my friends and followers bonkers with all the poodles. And what do you know? Jo sent me the nicest email the other day. She likes seeing my poodle work. She actually asked to see a picture of my stitched poodles together sometime. I told her I was worried people were thinking enough with the poodles already!! She reassured me, and told me that is what makes my blog special and unique. awww, thanks Jo.♥

Here is what I am stitching right now friends. It is for Easter.
Lots and lots of DMC 746, off white. Nope. Not gonna tell you what I am stitching yet! ;)

God loves you and offers a wonderful plan for your life.

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16

Stitching and praying,
Vickie
Here's my model in her pink bed. ;)

I just visit first time here on your blog. Your poodles looks so sweet and what a unique finishing.
We have here also a lot of snow yet and every morning temperature is over -20 C. Fortunately the day temperature is little bit warmer and sun is shining.

Hi Vickie,
What you made is beautiful. There aren't enought poodles in this world. Anything with poodles on it is beautiful. I love my poodle, too, as you know.
