It’s Starting …

I know Thanksgiving weekend isn’t over but I’m starting to feel the magnetic pull of sparkly ornaments and decorations….   I love sparkly.

This is one of my favorite sparkly ornaments…

Lots of hustle and bustle is about to begin, but remember to take time to do some fun things you enjoy…

…like, Christmas in Edgartown on Martha’s Vineyard.  I’ve always enjoyed going to it.

My creation

Off to find some more sparkly things… stay tuned :)

The Vineyard In Stitches …

This is my wall of Vineyard counted cross stitch projects. The Vineyard map in the upper left hand corner was the first one in 1993.  Tisbury in the bottom middle was the last one in 2011. There were other non-MV projects done in between the Vineyard ones and I also did eight more of the Vineyard maps during that time too.

These are not the only Vineyard counted cross stitches I’ve done though. The one closest to my heart is the Tabernacle designed especially for me by my daughter Deb.

The Tabernacle is my favorite place on the Vineyard for many reasons and so this picture means more to me than I can ever put into words. I did a post about it though which you can read by CLICKING HERE .

Close ups (sorry for the reflections from the windows)…

Do I have a favorite other than the Tabernacle one ?  What do you think :)  How about you, do you like one more than the others ?
