Well, I had such a marvelous Christmas. All of my kids were here and it was sooooo relaxing. My big present is a new computer from DH. The computer store was able to retrieve our photos from the computer that crashed (thankfully). And now I have a normal sized laptop instead of the tiny netbook I was trying to use.
On the stitching front, here is Town by The Workbasket which is part of a series. There are 4 pieces, I've already done Country and there is also Village and Woodlands, which I will stitch at some point. 
Here is Country.
And the best and biggest news is our oldest daughter is now engaged. She'll be 21 next week and will probably get married this summer (yikes, lot's of planning coming up). Her fiance' took my husband out to lunch last week and asked him for her hand. He is so sweet and loves her so much. We know he will always treat her well and take good care of her.
She's has always loved Passione Ricamo's "Once Upon A Time" so I'm going to stitch this for her as an engagement/bridal shower gift. Which means I need to get stitching!!!! I'll need to adjust the hair color on the man but the girl's hair is the exact same color as my daughter's. A better picture of this is in my side bar. I have the linen it calls for but it isn't as colorful as the original shows.
BLOG HELP------I have been signing up to "follow" people's blogs but don't know how to put a "follow" link on my own blog. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks for visiting.

A couple of weeks ago I won Hares' Christmas from Myra and it arrived in the mail today. I will stitch this up this year. Thank you Myra!
