Finally catching up

Hi all, I know I have been a terrible blogger, and I was hoping to start off the new year with a bang, but it has just been crazy busy and the computer is not always my friend.  It took me forever just to up load photos.

 

Below is my TUSAL for January

Next is The Berry Box by Barbara Rakosnik, a class that I took at Callaway Gardens NeedleArts School

                                     

 Below is a cute strawberry pattern by Barbara Jackson, that I worked on during the Callaway School and Exhibit.

 

Let me explain how I became involved with The Callaway NeedleArts School.

Our EGA Guild - the Dogwood Chapter, was asked to set up and maintain the Exhibit for needleworkers to submit entries for judging and display during the schools duration.  Our guild also, handled Merchandise Night and the Bookstore.  It is a fun, tiring, wonderful time for those of us who participate.  We were fortunate that the weather for the past few years has been nice, sometimes cold, but bearable.

 

Below is my Potting Shed by Shepherd Bush which won a red ribbon at the exhibit.

 

Here is Quaker Christmas which won a blue ribbon in the cross stitch category.

 

 

So I had mentioned good weather, well came home and Atlanta and surrounding areas received a very white surprise.  I live in Macon, GA and we received 3 1/2 to 4 inches of snow.

Below is on Tuesday evening.

This was early Wednesday Morning

                                     

Here is mid morning.

                                    

Now here is sweet little Jazmine sitting in a HALOS box she is 16 years old and ever so sweet

 Here is Mars looking out of the bathroom window at the snow.

And finally, this is my purchases for Jannuary that I found at an antique table.  a 1 yard piece of 32ct linen and the 6 older Inspirations magazines at $2 each.  Such a deal, could not walk away from them.

Well, that is it for now, thank you all for staying with me especially with my long absence, I am truly going to try to do better.

Have a wonderful day,

Roberta
