The Goode Wife

Good morning everybody! I am so glad you are here. I love friends.♥ We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We ate at the in-laws this year. Had dessert at my mom's then. Much time spent with both families. Do you remember this Salvation Army find?

Thanksgiving night I finished this.

This is a freebie pattern found here. I love it.

There were no colors listed, so I chose my own DMC.

two over one on 25ct Cream Dublin Linen

I made her me! If you will notice the green eye? =)

 She is missing her poodle. :(  I stitched 3 different poodles by "me". They all got frogged out.  None looked right to me.

So here it is ready to go. I keep looking for another wooden recipe box. I need one more for the first half of my recipes.

I finished the book The Shadow On The Quilt by Stephanie Grace Whitson. What a great book. It is historical fiction. I started The Sanctuary by Ted Dekker. Very good so far. Ted is my all time favorite author. He writes thrillers about good vs. evil. This is a second book to The Priest's Graveyard. Yeah, he doesn't exactly write about "normal" stuff. ;)

I have begun a new project. It is not cross stitch. It is a Christmas wreath for the front door. More on that soon.

I am still trying to get the XI ornaments stitched up. Near impossible for a while, with the kids having 5 days off for the holiday.

Have a stitchy day friends!

Stitching and praying,
Vickie
