Love Bears All Things - From The Deep


Very pleased to have another unfinished finish! Seriously had a start on this in 2014. I seriously have had a stitching slump. But my needle has been moving and grooving of late. 


My deer is doing it's own thing, and really looks like a moose. Someone had asked if Adam and Eve were in Maine - Pine Tree State and a "moose". I'd say... they are. ;)




Saturday I picked up Adventure Awaits!


I wish the white mountain top showed up better, but letting it go. I am pleased with it all around and it was what got me back on the needle. ♡


Hubby went snowmobiling on Saturday without me. It was in the single digits and teens; too cold for me!!! On Sunday the temps rose to the 20s and 30s, so he took me for a short 3 hour ride to a covered bridge.


The original built in 1830, dedicated in 1970 as a historical landmark. And appears to have been rebuilt in 1990.

Low's Bridge




Oh he's a handsome devil. Hope to get a few more rides in this season. Its been on and off for the trail conditions this year.


Monday I enjoyed my day off with soup, gingerbread tea, honey, a stroopwafel and some stitching on a sun drenched winter's day.  Sinking into the cocoon of the ebb and flow of needle and thread, the depths of my tea and warmth of a kitten or two... on my lap. Let this be a long, long day. ♡








A blue glow, the hush of newly fallen snow, wintery Wednesday.


And seeing the silver lining.


And From The Deep.... the depths of my stitching stash. Another unfinished under my needle. I so love this piece. Not much left, just a handful of words and filling in the Deep.



Happy stitching. Finding joy with my needle and thread.

A winter outing -sledding to lunch



Hubby and I got out on Saturday for a nice snowmobile trip out for lunch. We road 116 miles round trip.

Chicken pot pie filling over mashed potatoes with grilled biscuits. 

We shared a piece of strawberry rhubarb pie.


That fireplace!!!!


On our ride back we enjoyed the Super Snow Moon, over hills, fields and the lake.



This morning Chewie kept my lap warm as I got some stitching in.


The ice sparkled like diamonds in the trees both mornings. After Friday's storm.



Still keeping me warm... warding off the chills with some black cat magic.


Making progress on this 2010 freebie from Nancy Woodson.

Love bears all things.



After a long nap this afternoon 
Making a little more progress.



Using some badger balm to open up my nasal passages.  


Along with some Thera-flu cold to shake that achey feeling of something lurking. 

Can't be under the weather; too much happening at work these next few weeks.

A few snaps of Ripley and Chewie when I was working from home Friday.


Kitty yoga

Now Chewie's chair in my stitching room.

Ordered this pattern after seeing a finish on a L*K FB page. I think I'll stitch this for our up coming anniversary. 


Keep on stitching.

I was tickled pink to be stitchin' with kitten.

My Chewie is my lap cat. ♡ 





Stayed up late watching Dr. Zhivago and Funny Girl until 1:30 working on this.
Housework and party food prepping took up my afternoon. Ppffssst!


This morning after sleeping in and a big mug o java I finished the white accents.



I may finish this as a little balsam pillow and may do another over two on this same fabric.



Love as long as you live.
Laugh as much as you breathe.

♡X♡X♡X♡X♡

Keep on stitching. 

P.S. Happy Ground Hog Day 02/02/2020
If your day repeats may you get lots of stitching complete!! :)
