~*Santa Claus Is Coming To Town*~

Hello Dear Friends! Yup, Santa is on his way! We saw him just the other night!

(blurry... but you can see him)


This past Tuesday evening was the annual Christmas parade in Emporia. Trinity and I went with Grandma, Aunt Linda, and cousin Eric. It was GREAT! We stopped for a pizza dinner before hand ~ YUM~O! Luckily, it wasn't that cold... the cold seems have have waited for today 'cause it is bone~chillin' out now!

What a smile, huh?


Uncle Jimmy & Aunt Robin had their cool~car all decked out too...


It has been a busy week. I've been filling orders... and want to wish you all a warm THANK YOU for the kind words of praise & purchases. You are all so sweet! You truly warm my heart!

Wishing you warm smiles...

~*NEW Patterns!*~

Hello Dear Friends! I just couldn't wait any longer! These were suppose to be released tomorrow... but hey!... why not now?!

~*Olde Pewter Letters*~ 65 by 95 stitches


~*Blessed*~ 137 by 109 stitches


Both patterns are now available from me... each is $10 with free shipping... by email, on Ebay, or in my Etsy shoppe... or soon at your local needlework shop.

The frame for ~*Olde Pewter Letters*~ is the vintage frame I shared with you awhile back. I just LOVE it!

Because I've been working on getting the patterns together... and eating too much this past weekend for Thanksgiving... there won't be a trash~to~treasure tomorrow... but keep watchin' there will be another one soon.

Wishing you all warm smiles...

~*Friday Finishes*~

Hello Dear Friends! I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving... full of family, friends, and fine feasts! Did you eat too much like I did? Did any of you run out for Black Friday shopping today? Trinity and I are going to go out today for a little shopping. It will be a hairy~scary I'm sure... but maybe we can sneak a peek at Santa while out and about! ;)

I have a few fabulous Friday Finishes to share with you. Enjoy...

Instant smiles, as always... ~*Snowy Tony*~ ... punched up & finished by Rebecca... aka goodwool. Rebecca always does fine works! For this one, she punched with Valdani floss & then mounted the finished punch on vintage ticking before framing. I have yet to try Valdani flosses... it is on my wish-list-to-do. Lovely Rebecca!


Now that Thanksgiving has been here and past... we know Christmas is just around the corner. Jennifer has been getting some holiday stitching done for the season. She has stitched up ~*Silent Holy Night*~ and made a darling lil' Christmas pillow. Jennifer used 28 ct Zweigert Amsterdam Blue and both DMC and Crescent Colors threads. Truly lovely!


Thank you ladies... for working with the freebies & sharing! You have both make some precious works!

Wishing you all warm smiles...
Betty

~*Happy Thanksgiving*~

My warmest wishes to you and yours for a happy and safe Thanksgiving holiday!


~*THANKSGIVING DAY*~

Thanksgiving Day will soon be here
It comes around but once a year
If I could only have my way,
We'd have Thanksgiving every day.


The holiday started for us today ~ no school! Trinity and his cousins enjoyed the day together. Our home was warmed with little giggles and big smiles...


My warmest smiles to you all...
