45

Hi friends!  Beautiful day here. It just happens to be my birthday. I am now 45 years old. How did that happen?!  Brian gave me this.
A pewter poodle thimble from England. :) And this.
A gorgeous rose gold Orthodox cross and chain. Brian had bought me my last gold cross and chain when I was 18 and he 19. ;)

Not too much excitement today. Out to lunch with the in-laws. We will also go shopping for party food for the graduation party on Sunday.

I read Child Of Mine by Beverly and David Lewis. What an excellent book. Really enjoyed it.

It is not looking too good for the French Knot Poodle/Henry. The drawing I did of him on the fabric, isn't looking right once I am filling it in with the knots. He looks like he has an unusually large head. The ear doesn't look distinct. It is just making his head look huge. I may scrap this version and come up with a new Henry. I have already done over a thousand french knots. Oh well.

Oh my goodness! I forgot til now. I drew a name for the 1988 Just Cross Stitch Magazine featuring Scarlet Letter. Jo! You are the winner of the magazine. Please send me your address and I will get that on it's way to you. :)
I hope you have a beautiful day my friends! Thank you for stopping by.♥

Stitching and praying,
Vickie

    ♫♪♫ Happy Birthday, Vickie ♫♪♫

    What a pretty time of year to be born! I hope the rest of your day is as special as the gifts you've already received. Too bad about the French knot poodle not looking right--that is an awful lot of knots down the drain...

    Enjoy your special day!

    Happy Birthday! The quiet days often end up being the best; hope that is true of yours! Brian certainly chose beautiful gifts.

    Sorry about all the work on the French knot Henry, but it isn't worth saving if you're (k)not happy.
