Hello it's a beautiful day in West Virginia today-sunny and 68 deg. But my hearts a little heavy, a friend from my church who is 52-53 years is going to have to have a bone marrow transplant. They are testing tomorrow to see if her brother is a match for the transplant. My prayer is that they match. We also have two young brothers at church that had marrow transplants last summer and are still recovering - thank God for that miracle. Even tho I have a cronic diease, I can not imagine what she is going thru.

Tomorrow I'll share about the new patterns I ordered!!!
Blessings to all, BK

Wednesday 2/13

Good Day! Thank you so much to my new blogger buddies! It was a joy to visit all the sites for the One World One Heart giveaway. I found some very creative people from all over the world-that's pretty cool. I am very glad that my friend Theresa introduced me to the blogger world. Not to mention I'm much more computer literate than I thought!

Here in West Virginia we have had two days of snow and sleet. Very pretty for us, but looking at some of the scenery on the Canadian blogs - very tame!

Well that's all for now. HOPE I win something on OWOH this week-can't wait.

My Big Dream!

I think most of us have jobs that we tolerate or are content with, but wouldn't it be nice if we did something we loved!?! My friend Theresa has a studio and gets to do the things she really enjoys, painting, teaching, batiking, crochet, and not to mention playing rummy with me! My BIG DREAM is to own my own cross stitch shope. When I first starting stitching there was a store in a little near by town called The Peach Basket. It was the neatest store I had ever seen and none have really matched it since then. The owner had probably a dozen cabinets that were made like card display cabinets-tiered. There was row after row of every kinds of pattern: seasonal, jobs, hobbies, flowers, animals and anything else you could think of....
Then her husband would do the framing! They were such sweet people-never knew their names, but it didn't seem to matter-I was a STITCHER!!! That time started my dream!

Today's the first day of blogging!!

Hi! Today is my first day blogging. This is an adventure for me-do you have a friend
that leads you into something new? That's what has happened to me - first there's
myspace.com then there come blogging! Who would have thunk it!!??
As my title implys I love cross stitching. About 21 years ago I was diagnosed with
rhuematoid arthritis - this is a family thing - and I was working on the picture of the
angel watching over the children crossing the bridge. I told my RA doctor that if he
could keep me stitching and I could finish this piece, I would be happy the rest of my
life no matter what else moved on my body!!! Needless to say I finished "Grace"-that's
what I started calling her - for the Grace of God is what gets me thru! That's all for now-
Grace to All, Becky
