Hi friends! I received a RAK from our friend Carol. What a happy, beautiful surprise. :)
I cannot even put into words the excellence of this little pillow. I am NOT exaggerating. I told my husband that this is the finest stitching and finishing I have ever seen. Carol also included an extra bit of cording so I can use this pillow as a Christmas ornament. What an excellent idea! I will do just that. :) You can also see the pretty, little note pad she gave me.♥
Busy times with Emerson. He graduates in less than two months. Then on to Concordia University Mequon.
I finished my least favorite Springtime chore. You still have a chance to guess what chore that is for a free chart I am offering here. I will draw a name tomorrow. :)
Plodding along with the beading of Theotokos. THAT takes a long time!
Well off to worship on this beautiful Sunday morning. I hope you have a lovely day in the Lord my friends. Thank you for stopping by.
Stitching and praying,
Vickie

Carol is awesome. Her stitching is always so perfect and she has a truly kind heart...she reminds me so much of you!
Congrats to your son...you can never go wrong with education of any kind...and he is so talented...I honestly don't think he will ever be able to stop doing his art, it's a part of who he is...and truly he has been blessed with such an awesome talent.
I would say your least fav spring cleaning task would be doing the windows. At least it's mine! :)
Blessings to you always sweet friend.
Beautiful RAK! Good for Emerson! So exciting! It's funny, DS also loves history. He was choosing between music and history and he chose music. lol! Similar to Emerson, opposite choice. :D Good luck to him!
What a lovely and encouraging RAK!
What a lovely gift. Very heartfelt and meaningful. You are truly blessed with so many friends.xxxx
I too have been lucky enough to have a creation by Carol sent to me, she certainly does stitch and finish things so beautifully, yours is wonderful.
Good luck to Emerson!
What a lovely, thoughtful RAK from Carol. Best wishes to Emerson - the campus looks beautiful! I will guess that the spring cleaning chore you like the least is cleaning the window blinds.

Carol does amazing work, and this one is no exception. I know you'll treasure it!
Good luck to Emerson. Choosing a major can be so difficult. Been thru that one a few times myself with more to come, lol.
The quality to which Carol stitches and finishes is something I aspire to reach. I know you'll treasure her gift!
What a lovely gift you received from Carol. Her stitching and finishing skills are outstanding and I think she chose the perfect design for you.

Such a beautiful Rak from Carol! I received a little pillow from her and yes, it IS perfect!! What a sweet message though from her and I second that. I'm amazed at how you go through your days with pain yet still be hopeful. Amazing! Hugs and prayers!

What a beautiful gift from Carol and so very thoughtful of her too.
Congrats to Emerson on pursuing his dreams. The campus looks like a beautiful location.
Awww...you are too kind, Vickie--I'm blushing :) I'm thrilled that you liked my "Hope" pillow--I really enjoyed stitching it for you...
Wow, that looks like a wonderful school for Emerson--congratulations to him! My youngest son also majored in history and now works for the U.S. Dept. of Justice so you just never know where that major will take you... Best of luck to him!
Love Carol's cross-stitching - she is a beautiful woman. Good luck to your son - our youngest is graduating in May from university - the time has flown by. I imagine your least favorite chore is dusting the baseboards - I know it is mine.

Carol is so thoughtful and kind to do that for you! So special.
Good to hear that your son has his plans in place. It's a big decision and he was wise to take his time. Lucky you to get the fun of preparing for another graduation and party - two busy springs for you!
That was such a sweet gift. It was very thoughtful of her to include cording to hang it with.
Blessings,
Betsy
