Hi friends! I finished Snow Garden this weekend.  I have not personalized it. I am leaving the names and dates til the end of the whole thing I do believe. I am not sure yet who I am memorializing in this sampler. I have time to figure that out. ;)

On to Valentine Rose now! ❤️️ I pulled the flosses and made more floss modifications. Not my favorite thing to do at all. It is a necessary thing to do when stitching BBD patterns with DMC if you want your piece to look like the pattern picture though.

I was on the waiting list at our library for the third and last book in the trilogy by Rachelle Dekker, The Returning. It is a new book, just released. It was good, but I must say predictable. Did I know everything that was going to happen? No. But almost everything. I enjoyed the read though. Her writing style is very much like her father's, Ted Dekker. However, Ted is so very, very, very talented. He is awesome.He is NEVER predictable. He is my favorite author. She is not Ted. Just saying.
They say the Awakening is coming.
That she’s the key.
But can she find her identity in the light
Before she perishes in the dark?

Twenty years have passed since Carrington and Remko Brant’s baby, Elise, was kidnapped and they were forced to leave her captive in the Authority City. Though they fled with the Seers far from Authority reach, they’ve never given up hope of rescuing their daughter from the man who betrayed them. Now Authority President, he’s ushered the city into a new era of “peace”―one where the Scientist Roth Reynard’s Genesis Serum has eradicated all memory of emotion or rebellion.

But the mysterious Aaron and his Seers are once again on the move, threatening the illusion the Authority has worked so hard to build. As the Seers send seven chosen warriors to rescue Elise and bring restoration to the Authority City, the lines are drawn for a final battle between light and darkness. The key to ultimate victory may rest within the strangely powerful girl who has felt forgotten but was never abandoned―a truth she’ll need to wage war against the powerful forces of evil.

Have a most wonderful week my friends! I am so glad you came to visit.

Stitching and praying,
