Has it really been two almost three months since I posted on this blog? I seem to say that often but this has been my longest time away! Time has flown by but it has been spent doing things that have brought joy to my heart. I had my son Michael move back home with us. My son Neal come for a wonderful visit. We celebrated my son Addison's 12th birthday! Celebrated Easter with my new son-in-law who has never had an Easter (he's from Thailand).
Tom and Brandy's First Easter
Had a daughter get engaged! Consoled my daughter Maggie as her sweetheart is away and needs her Mom extra much and she had her first car accident. Helped Kristina get driving and worked 40 hours weeks with amazing students. Fell in LOVE with family history!!! I traced my Grandpas fathers family back to the 1540's in Denmark and his mothers side to Grandpa Fuller who came to America on the Mayflower...THE Mayflower. It has been so amazing to read their histories. I find myself up late at night till 2 or 3 am reading and searching. I'm very grateful for the family I came from and the family I am building now!
Our "Little" Gang When They Were Little!
And at the end of each day fell into my bed with my sweetheart for a few minutes of laughter before we crashed and started the next day all over again! Because love isn't something you fall into it's something you grow forever. I stitched that saying 20 years ago when I started my little family who knew it would grow to be 11 children, 2 son-in -laws, 1 daughter-in-law, a beautiful granddaughter and a deep true love with my best friend. It's not to say that life isn't hard sometimes...weeds and thorns are often popping up...but if you keep at it forever grows.
Love Isn't Something You Fall Into
This pattern is a simple applique and embroidery pattern that fits in a standard 8" x 10" frame. You can order the pattern in the Everyday Thoughts section and the frame in Speciality Frames for $24.00.
Us...10 Years Later (it was so worth it)
So I hope you find joy stitching this new little pattern! Take some time...maybe a long time to celebrate your own little bunch and all the giggles and love they have brought into your life! Life is too short to worry about the schedule and the to-do's....just laugh and love.
