I AM HOME – AN ANNIVERSARY GIFT

February 6, 2018 By Cathy Habermann 31 Comments

I looked back on last year’s post & was hit by the photo of Bill & I standing on the lot we had just purchased…if we were to try & stand in that same spot today, I think we would be in the garage! Exciting times coming in this New Year but 1st, I want to wish my dearest a Happy 30th – thank you for being my home for these years.

Yep – we got married in the 80’s…big hair, poufy sleeves, satin shoes. Don’t forget the bridesmaids dress that you were surely going to be able to wear again & again!

 

A gorgeous bouquet sent by my Mom & Dad. We are both grateful to each of our parents for providing us with an example of a loving marriage.

 

‘I AM HOME’ – this years complimentary design. To print your copy, click here:  I AM HOME.

I have a number of the tiny heart buttons to gift. Please send a SASE to Hands On Design 2400 Apache Dr., Sioux City, IA 51104. I will send you one of the buttons. I will include a small piece of the roof cotton fabric in the first 100 envelopes. 1 button per request please. While supplies last, first come first served.

Buttons & embellishments from previous years Anniversary stitches are no longer available through me.

I don’t know…this picture just cracks me up every time I see it. (we were probably trying to embarrass our kids)

 

Enjoy the Stitch,

Cathy

      Debra-
      I didn’t use a pattern for the shape. I just sewed a rectangle of fabric to the top edge & then cut the corners off for the roof line! Super easy – c

We took a very quick detour to Brick City Cross Stitch - Tammy was filling in for Jean (we chatted on the phone!), awesome fabric & chart selection, Billy got to give an autograph on one of the Polar Plunge charts!!

Back on the road…if you’re ever in Ocala, it’s a must stop shop!

Reflect upon your present blessings, of which ever Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has many – Not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some. Dickens

This quote gets me every time.
