Hi Everybody!
I do hope that yall are all safe, healthy, and feeling just plain good.
We have had kind of a winter to make it here in Georgia.  I am loving it!!!!  Easter comes very soon and it will be next fall-winter before I am graced with these cool days.  I don't have much planned for Easter.  Stay close to the house and cook for Joe and me.  I am thinking a homemade peach cobbler* for desert whatever the main meal is.  I am craving peaches.  Though fresh peaches aren't ready this time of year.  But, I could find some California ones at the grocery store...
Our little city has been in the news.....is so very tragic.  Mom is walking and pushing a stroller, with her son in it.
Low and behold 2 hoodlums stop her and want her money.  She doesn't have any.  They threaten to shoot her baby and as she pleaded for her baby's life....he shot the baby boy in the face....What made matters so very much worse is that the hoodlum's aunt and mother lied to the police, saying their boy was with them.  They all have been arrested now.  I hope they stay in jail.  I hope that both teens* live the remainder of their lives in prison-no parole ever.  The horror that the parents endured.  The mom* is getting ready to move back to her parents-out of state.  
So many teens these days are without guilt, religion, manners, lies (look to the parents-adults for that fault), remorse, laziness, they steal, fight, and more.  I know that not all teens are like this....but, there are many many that lead these lives.  Too many, much, more than the good kids.
Pray for these affected by this horror.  They deserve your prayers so much.  The little ones of today are filled with so much violence in their lives...
I am, still, thinking about those who lost at with the Sandy Hill Murders!!   Then, the poor little Amish children... and so many more.

Now....moving on......

I have a gift* for you stitchers.  There will be more in this subject line!!!

Hi everybody!!
I do hope that you all are safe and healthy!  I have been doing things around the house.  It looks like we are not going to have a winter this year, either.....Drats...that means bugs galore!!!  Yuk!!
We could do more with buckets of rain, too!  We are so dry in these parts.
Our weather has been super weird for 6 years now....I suppose that means that the climate has changed in these parts.  Depressing....
Anyway, now for some happy news.....I have charted a design for you!  I hope that you will stitch it!!

Hello Stitchers!!
I do hope that all of you are doing just great on this Tuesday afternoon.
I am re-doing my stitching and computer room today.  I am moving all my stitching things to the computer room.  I had to get a new stitching stand, as I have misplaced my other one....duh..The other one is a table top that I could use sitting in my bed.  This new one is a floor one!
Now....sometime today lets see if the older one comes out of her hiding spot!!!  LOL!!
Joe had to take his sis to the doctor's and I have taken this time to designing another gift for you!
I do hope that you like and will stitch it!  It would make a great card!!

Good Afternoon, Stitchers!!
We are, still, riding high tempts(well...they ARE high...this is suppose to be winter) as summer wants to 'keep on truckin' in these parts of 
Georgia!
For those of you that don't know....I have a New SAL at my Group!
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/OakHavenDesigns/ 

I am doing something different this year with this SAL.  I will send you the first month chart with entire* border included.  February and each subsequent months all will have the pattern at the group*  There will be no PDF files, so, I can't send it, via mail.  Along with the chart and picture, the Color Key* will be in that thread at the group.  

I have done a bit of Valentine's Day designing.  I think that it would make a super card!  Dressed all up in "Specialty stitches" (not hard ones) to give the card more personality!
Try this site* to learn stitches*

Without further delay.....enjoy!

Happy New Year, Stitchers!!!!

I do hope that you all are safe and happy!
I have been a little busy with an addition of a new little girl.  Oh.......this Chihuahua is sooooooooo tiny...maybe a pound?!  I am feeding her but I need a stimulant from the doc.  You know what this dog eats like crazy???  BREAD AND BUTTER!  Dozens of dog  foods have been tried by Tigger with no avail.  What these monsters did to these dogs was horrible.....she is skin and bone, still.....
A friend of mine is going through some things as of late.  She know how I love my own little dog-July.  We take her with us to Tigger's mom's shop every week.  Tigger rescued this lil girl from a puppy mill that was busted recently(thank God that place is no more)!  I saw her with Tigger for the first time during the Christmas holiday.  Man......I thought July was little.......
Babee Girl is a nice deep chocolate color, with a painted on coat-like July.  I need some help figuring out how to load pics from my digital camera, that is very Greek to me....and I am 1/2 Greek...LOL!
As soon as I can do that, I will post pictures of July and Babee Girl.

In the meantime, do stitch this gift!  It would make a great card!!
