Happy Anniversary My Dear

February 6, 2015 By Cathy Habermann 23 Comments

Happy-Anniversary-My-Dear_Blog-Image_1

Today, February 6th, is our 27th wedding anniversary. For the past few years, I have dedicated a small, heartfelt design to the love of my life and this year is no different.

I could go on & on about the many joys we have shared over the years: joys that include highs & lows, good times and trials. I’m just going to hold these thoughts to myself this year and let them bring peace to my heart.

Please feel free to Print the PDF. Although it is listed on the chart, I used 30ct Bitter Betty Brew R&R, GAST Endive & WDW Madison Rose. From the Cauldron rick rack was used for embellishment.

The heart is charted for cross-stitch, but if you would like a woolfelt heart to include on your design, please send a SASE to :

Hands On Design
2400 Apache Dr., Sioux City, IA 51104 & I will send you one.

I will send until they are all gone. One per SASE please.

Please see prior Year’s February 6th posting for previous designs.

Enjoy the Stitch,

Cathy

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 πŸ“ 
- 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 πŸŽƒ 
- Thank you Joseph Chilton Pearce for this fabulous quote 🎨 
- I love that we are a Special Olympics family πŸ… 
- Home Sweet Home - it was fun helping a friend create an original concept class with this brand new design πŸͺ‘
- Stand Up For Santa - I love seeing so many stitchers try a new finish πŸŽ…

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!πŸͺ‘
