Blessings of 2013

Just two more sleeps to the New Year. How was my 2013? It was a good year! Of course there were ups and downs but after all - I can't complain. Here are some of the blessings that I'm thankful for:

1. Freddy is my biggest blessing
2. I've started my own business and survived. Next year looks very promising!
3. I'm thankful for Jacques, very good neighbour and a friend
4. I'm very thankful for my blogging friends and followers
5. For my spiritual teachers
6. Frosty Girl that is a lot of trouble sometimes but I love her to pieces. After all she is still a puppy (10 months old)
7. My ZoomZoom of course who sits on my desk and tirelessly watching me stitching or watching birds outside the window
8. My clients
9. Candice for referring new clients
10. For my quiet moments
11. For a beautiful, peaceful place I live in
12. For entertaining birds coming to my feeders
13. For my stitchy hobby

And talking about my hobby... I have a few finishes this year! Let's see

• c. 1800 Gift pincushion
• M. Quertier 1799
• Birdsong ornament
• Good Morning
• Bluenose Dime
• Couple ornaments (April and May) from Prairie Schooler
• Happy Fall Towel
• French Country Pumpkin
• A freebie from Plum Street Samplers
• A Baby A Manger
• Snooty Stitchers Society pincushion - that is my latest finish never seen before. Here is the pic:

What is Snooty Stitchers Society? It's a Facebook group of snooty stitchers who will stitch The Snooty Parrots sampler designed by Barbara Ana starting January 1st.

When I look on my stitchy accomplishements I see twelve finishes... you know, there is a couple more days left in this year... maybe I can stitch one more of my WIPs and end 2013 with 13 finishes... What do you think? My office is closed until January 2nd, I have some time...

So long my friends,
Evalina
