Tis the Season of…

February 1, 2014 By Cathy Habermann Leave a Comment

how would you finish that sentence?? Hmm…it could be the season of love…the season of snow…the season of bone chilling temps!

Right now, it’s the season of Market Prep!

This is what I think (hope) my house looks like!

Boxes & “to go to Nashville” piles everywhere! Whew!

I wanted to take a teeny break to let you know about something coming up this week! Last year, my husband & I celebrated our 25th anniversary. I designed a sweet little piece that got scooped up by lots of stitchers! I will post this year’s gift to you (& my dearest) next Thursday! Check back in!

In the meantime, here’s a reminder of last year’s design & a better link to print out your own version (having a website now makes that sooooo much easier!)

Before I forget…thanks to everyone who stopped by as part of the Grow Your Blog party! I found lots of new blogs to follow! Thanks again to Vicki for organizing the party!

Winner, Winner! The random number was 8…Beth @ E. Lizard Breath Speaks – you are my winner. I will be in touch!

Have a great weekend!

I chose my own Top 9 for 2025โค๏ธ Starting top left I chose my own Top 9 for 2025โค๏ธ

Starting top left to right:

- another needlework market, another sweet little bug - my fav part of Ladybug Picnic? - those feet ๐Ÿคฃ
- I over-fertilized the strawberries - thanks for loving my 13โ€ produce ๐Ÿ“ 
- Friends. Itโ€™s what makes this job so much funโค๏ธ
- This was the inaugural greenhouse season - our zinnia game was strong ๐ŸŒบ 
- Our pumpkin game was a little stronger ๐ŸŽƒ 
- Thank you Joseph Chilton Pearce for this fabulous quote ๐ŸŽจ 
- I love that we are a Special Olympics family ๐Ÿ… 
- Home Sweet Home - it was fun helping a friend create an original concept class with this brand new design ๐Ÿชก

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 nowโค๏ธ

Thank you!๐Ÿชก
