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.

No stitchy posts this weekend- I get to be Mom all No stitchy posts this weekend- I get to be Mom all weekend. Billy just got home from an amazing trip out west where he got to white water raft, ride a gondola, hike in a national park (where they saw all kinds of wildlife), swim, go to a real rodeo, go on an alpine rail, make new friends and so much more. 

I missed him so much (even though he doesn’t live with us every day…yep, the mom in me knew he was far away 😊) - we are so thankful to the Let’s Go West team for planning & documenting this trip. He’s staying on with us a few more days …I was even excited to do his laundry!?!?🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

It's World Emoji Day!! 🌼🤷🏼‍♀️🍅🪡😉❤️ 

Did you know that when I released Well Hello There - we called those adorable buttons that grace each stitch every month 'button-moji's'?? 

Button-moji packs are still available from my dear friends @justanotherbuttoncompany - I don't know that button-moji ever caught on as a word but they sure look cute

A little 'down-time' between HOD models, I started A little 'down-time' between HOD models, I started Harvest Lilies from my good friend Tracy @inkcircles.xs - I switched up the linen for 32ct Rosewood @fabrics.by.steph & called for threads with Sulky 12wt. I do have a yellow pulled for the negative space that looks kinda quilty. I'm thinking about leaving it like it is...what do you think?
