HERE COMES SANTA !


Arriving is Santa in May.
Santa is ready for Memorial Day with his American Flag!

It looks as if Santa is walking with his walking stick, suppose he is in a Memorial Day Parade ? If he were in a Memorial Day Parade in Indiana...he would be pretty hot in his blue coat. Indiana temperatures are in the high 80's to low 90's and of course it wouldn't be Indiana without humidity. So, ole Santa would be sweating on a day like today.

This pattern I got out of an Leisure Arts Book, Book 8, Christmas Remembered Series. Title of book is Down Santa Claus Lane. I stitched Santa on Aida 18ct Cloth, Antique White and DMC Floss. He was pretty simple to stitch and now I will be finishing him with an American Flag fabric as an ornament. I do have room on my cloth to cross stitch one more ornament. I have chosen a doll pattern that says Merry Christmas.

UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN...
HAPPY CROSS STITCHING !

WHAT YA DOING ?

I have been busy cross stitching an old pattern I found in a Leisure Arts book. It is from the Christmas Remembered Series, Book Eight. The title of the book is Down Santa Claus Lane. The pattern is "An All American Celebration". The Santa is from the Olde World collection in his blue coat. I loved this pattern the minute I laid eyes on it. Santa stood out so proud carrying the American Flag. It is a Christmas ornament. Soon to be finished, just got an arm to stitch and the backstitching. As soon as I am finished stitching I will post a picture.

In the meantime I hope everyone is enjoying "spring" and beautiful weather.

Until we meet again...
HAPPY STITCHING !!

MOTHER'S DAY


Thinking of you Mom on this Mother's Day.
My Mother was everything to me. I was known as her shadow as a young girl.
Today, I hold my memories close to my heart.

Another favorite picture of my Mother as a young girl.

Keep the gate open for me Mom...


Here is wishing all Mothers...HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY !!!!
