Winner Winner!

March 18, 2014 By Cathy Habermann Leave a Comment

Thank you to all who left comments on my last blog post and a huge thanks to Adornit for offering up their selection of Chamberry prints as a great prize! I have a winner…but first a few updates! (Would you really read on if I blew the surprise right now?)

It’s been busy…heck, it’s always busy! Last weekend I was able to sneak away for a short time to attend my annual retreat in Gretna NE. It’s not a fancy place, but when I started going 17 years ago – it was heaven on earth. Time away from all the home activities – few even had cell phones in those days. My husband always knows – the 3rd weekend in March come heck or high water, I was Gretna bound. The women that I meet up with every year are wonderful & supportive & it’s been so much fun to watch our families grow through the years.

I stopped through Omaha on the way home (I did have to leave a little early this year to go watch Chris play in a tennis meet) & dropped off some models at For The Love of Stitching…an awesome little shop. Judi was my very first “auto” customer & I was happy to lend her some models for awhile. Stop in if you are in the neighborhood…she does mail order too!

I’ve been catching up on some finishing work & working on a few retreat pieces. Like everyone else, I’m hoping Mother Nature decides that we have had enough winter and are ready for Spring.

Here is a sneak peak of a newly completed project!

This is a current WIP! Look familiar? The bag that I have been using for a model of “Love My Stitching” was stitched by Karen (sewmuch2luv) and I think she would probably like it back! I haven’t stitched on evenweave for awhile, I forgot how much fun it is!

That’s what’s new with me. The winner of the Adornit fabric bundle and chartpack of Gather Friends Close is Darla! I will be emailing you for your address! Contests are fun – keep following for more!

Have a wonderful day,

Cathy

    I am ready for spring. I am ready to get some much needed yard work done. However next week we will be in New York. My kids are ready to play in the snow. We don't get much here in Alabama.

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?
