Happy Anniversary – my gift to you

February 6, 2017 By Cathy Habermann 11 Comments

29 years ago our story began…

23-wedding

I’ve often talked about that cold day in Pittsburgh (5 degrees I believe) when I said ‘I do’…

This journey is one I would want to take with no other – from its humble beginnings – life in the Dulles Airport flight path – moves & transfers – babies, kids & now adults – from the cities surrounding the Capital to central Florida then cornfields in Iowa – faith, family, dreams…love.

23-love

I look forward to the next part of this journey

23-us

Of course, I’m offering this complimentary chart to stitchers. Please click on the link for a printable chart. love

Would you like a set of the heart buttons? Please send a SASE to Hands On Design 2400 Apache Dr., Sioux City, IA 51104. I will send you 2 of the buttons while supplies last, first come first served.

Enjoy the Stitch,

I chose my own Top 9 for 2025❤️ Starting top left I chose my own Top 9 for 2025❤️

Starting top left to right:

- another needlework market, another sweet little bug - my fav part of Ladybug Picnic? - those feet 🤣
- I over-fertilized the strawberries - thanks for loving my 13” produce 🍓 
- Friends. It’s what makes this job so much fun❤️
- This was the inaugural greenhouse season - our zinnia game was strong 🌺 
- Our pumpkin game was a little stronger 🎃 
- Thank you Joseph Chilton Pearce for this fabulous quote 🎨 
- I love that we are a Special Olympics family 🏅 
- Home Sweet Home - it was fun helping a friend create an original concept class with this brand new design 🪡
- Stand Up For Santa - I love seeing so many stitchers try a new finish 🎅

It was very difficult to pick just 9 moments from this past year - I look forward to 2026 and hope the choices are just as plentiful a year from now❤️

Thank you!🪡
