The Perfect Sentiment

"Promise of  Spring"

design by Silver Creek Samplers

When I was digging in craft corner for my March projects,

I found this piece that I stitched way back in 2014, but never fully finished.

It's a sentiment that really touched me in the moment as I am feeling like this winter is lasting forever, so I had to fully finish immediately!

I thought the white chenille trim set it off well.

Another Stitch from my Stash finished!

"Sweet Clover Girl"

from "Little Shamrocks"

design by Pineberry Lane 

stitched up quickly.

As did "Basket 'O Luck"

I did tweak the little bunnies just a bit.

Time to fully finish!

I have some ideas, but need to still work on finding the right fabrics from my stash...

Thank you so much for the continued good wishes!

My shingles are starting to heal, but I am still dealing with complications 

and it is taking longer to recover than I had hoped. At least I can still stitch!

And please keep my dear sister-in-law, Joy in your prayers as she continues on her chemo journey...

 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 

the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 

who comforts us in all our troubles, 

so that we can comfort those in any trouble 

with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.

~2 Corinthians 1:3-4

Trying to Believe...

 

On Monday we hit 50 degrees and I was certain that spring was finally on its way.

This morning I woke up to this:

 

Yet another winter storm and now I'm not so sure....

Temps significantly below freezing and another 5 inches of snow.

That brings us to a total of 79 inches for this winter season.

 

 

I will keep repeating my new mantra and then maybe I will begin to believe it again...

"No Winter lasts forever

No Spring skips its turn..."

 

"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven"

~Ecclesiastes 3:1
