A cherry quartet, too pretty not to capture for eternity before I ATE them!

This may look familiar.
I adore this picture from last year, Chappy bounding through the grass, chasing a toy. It never fails to make me smile.
Well, now I’ve turned it into a cross-stitch chart. Just because it’s fun. Even though I pretty much never do counted cross-stitch any more. But … like I said, it makes me smile! Maybe it’s worth pulling out some embroidery supplies … stitched onto a green fabric … how long could it take?
Or maybe a white background?
Either way, it makes me smile.
(Oh, and happy anniversary, Patty and Mike!)

Guide
Well, tomorrow’s my birthday, so I thought this was a good time to share this with you … I’ve got the TV Guide from the week I was born. Mom saved it lo, these many years ago. I was born at 10:08 PM, so … who’s up for some Candid Camera? Maybe some Andy Williams? Or there’s always Rawhide…

Sculpture by my niece that I wanted to share, and this seemed a good time for it.

Morning
A pretty sun-scape to start my day.
The best part, though?
Seeing this little face every morning, just waiting for the door to open so he can start the day. And, in the meantime? He’s got his own yellow afghan to snuggle with.

Happy 27th birthday, Jilly.
(One of my all-time favorite pictures of her, all dressed for my sister’s wedding. She didn’t get to GO, mind you, but she wanted to celebrate just the same, and sat in her favorite, most-photogenic spot for the photo. That orange chair was SO perfect for her coloring.)
I still can’t believe she’s been gone for 12 and a half years.

Annette
This was my doll Annette. (Actually, both dolls were Annettes–they came with the name, but one was my sister’s, one was mine.) We both adored them when we were little because they were the perfect “little girl” size when they stood next to us, so we could do fun stuff with them, like pretend to take them shopping or send them to school, or anything that our Mom did with us.
Neither doll came with us when we moved, though. I guess they decided that, being in their late-30s, it was time to move on. Still, there are lots of good memories.

Pearls
Well, not real pearls, but antique fake ones, bought at Covent Garden in London back in 1987, and jumbled with a hematite necklace and a bronze-brown woven chain. It’s the way those glass pearls catch the light, though, that looks so beautiful.

Where is the dog in this picture?
Bet you guessed wrong. Here, I’ll give you a hint.
He looks awfully cozy back there, doesn’t he?

Because the wood is just so darn pretty.

Doesn’t my skeiner make pretty shadows on the wall like this?

My sister does a nice line in envelopes, doesn’t she?
This was for Chappy’s birthday card.
And this was for the note she sent me thanking me for the sweater I gave her. (Note the matching knitted cable along the edge.)
