My favorite movie is The Sound of Music. I can't help but sing some of the movie's songs once in a while. I have been known to burst into song in the home, in the car and gasp!, just for fun, in public. ;) It was fun when the kids were little and we would sing Do-Re-Mi together on car rides. =) So when Tanya offered this freebie on her blog, The Sampler Girl, very recently, well I knew I had to stitch it up!
Did you know that 'Edelweis' is not a true Austrian folk song or Austria's National Anthem?
Well, that is all I have to show you today friends. I will be baking gingerbread cookies this weekend. I baked the Mabel and Henry sugar cookies yesterday. ;)
We received ice pellets last night. Everything is covered in ice outside right now. Henry and I were going to make our Assisted Living Center visit this morning. We will see if we still go today. I do NOT want to slip and spike my pain. I already did that on the ice we received two nights ago. =( My pain is rather high. If you wouldn't mind praying for me? I would appreciate that. Thank you. ♥
Baking and stitching and praying,
Vickie
A lovely design just perfect for you, & you did a great job stitching & finishing it! I do hope you get to take Henry to visit the ALC. You know I'm saying prayers : )
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your finish! It's always fun when a project has special meaning to the stitcher. You finished it beautifully!

ReplyDeleteOh, how pretty is that, Vickie--the brocade is a lovely touch and your color changes on the legs and shoes are perfect! I'm another Sound of Music lover--Edelweis always makes me cry...

ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable ornament - lovely finish! I hope the pain gives you some relief, and stay safe on that ice.
ReplyDeleteFantastic ornament you stitched. Love the trim you used - so pretty.
ReplyDeletePraying for you for the pain to go away. Perhaps you should stay indoors and not aggravate the pain you already have from the cold let along fear of slipping again.

Lovely Ornament, I especially liked the way you finished it with the ribbon - It does become so dangerous outside when there is ice on the ground and especially in your situation - poor Vickie sending my love and prayer - Amanda
