Thank you all again for your many cards, words of condolence, and mostly your prayers. My inbox is overflowing-when I signed on tonight I have 278 emails unread. I doubt I will answer them all-but PLEASE know I appreciate each one. Per requests from family members I will not talk about the death of my niece or the fire any further but do appreciate your continued prayers for our family-they are very much still needed.
It has been difficult for me to find a routine again. I know that stitching has been a saving grace so many times in my life so along with prayer each day I have tried to turn to my stitching. I have not stitched as I am accustomed to but have been glad to have the avenue to be industrious and to occupy my hands and mind.
Have Ye Any Wool I stitched this one on a larger count and over 2 so I could finish it off onto one of the cutting boards that hubby cut out for me back in the summer. It turned out very nice.

And a new start Halloween Cove I started this one yesterday.... It is such a fun stitch I can hardly put it down for any length of time. I changed out the called for fabric as well as fibers. I just love how it is turning out. I plan to stay with it until finished. I shouldn't have any problem doing that as it is stitching up so quickly and I am loving it. I think the fabric makes this one AWESOME!!

Becky Dear I am so glad to see you back on here again! I was just thinking about you earlier today...wondering how you and your family have been through this terrible tragedy. I will continue to keep everyone in my prayers.
You are right.....that fabric does make Halloween Cove look AWESOME!! It's perfect!
Becky, it's so good to hear from you. Your family has been in my prayers and thoughts these past weeks. Your finishes are so inspirational for me. This year I'm going to expand my horizons when it comes to finishes... all thanks to your blog!
Dear Becky, I am so sorry to have learned of your loss at this late date. Due to work obligations and a retreat, I have been off the computer and blog scene for almost this whole month.
My deepest sympathy to you and your family.
I am glad to see that you have your stitching to help you out and that you are back on the WWW.
with sympathy and friendship

They are beautiful. Welcome back! Faye
Becky --
So glad to see your post.
Your finishes are just super. I love. I love Have thee Any Wool and of course I just LOVE the PS design. Your Halloween piece looks terrific on that fabric.
BIG HUGS to you and your family.
Becky, so glad to hear from you! You and your family have been in my thoughts and prayers.
Wonderful finishes - I adore your Have Ye Any Wool finish! And Halloween Cove looks fantastic on that fabric! Of course, the PS piece is cute - love that finishing fabric!
Hugs!
So glad to see you back online, if even for just a bit. I love your stitching and finishes. Stitching is definitely therapy for the mind and heart. Just know you've been missed. HUGS :)
Though I "miss my friends" this has not been a computer month for me, either. I understand exactly what you mean about computer time not being joyful sometimes.
I am SO blessed that you decided to hunker down and make up this blog so that we're able to enjoy what you're up to. PS designs are really so soothing to stitch--love it!
Also, that Halloween piece is going to be super! Love the linen.
I've been working on my own freebie's model so that I can publish it soon! I was in the home stretch when I ran out of a particular fiber. Picked up another today, but am now concerned that the difference in the dye lot won't work (I had thought it would.) I might have to make another choice, but we shall see. :D
Prayers still coming your way,
Berit

I finished up Halloween Cove this past fall and loved every minute I stitched on it. I also swapped out some of the floss colours. Now I'm watching out for a frame for it.
Beautiful finishes as usual. I know stitching always eases my mind and I hope it will do the same for you. You and yours continue to be in my prayers. Enough said, hang in there and keep stitching and thank you for your wonderful blog.

It is so nice to see you post. And I love the two finishes. Especially the PS one. Beautiful.
Just take things one day at a time. Spring and it's warmth and sunshine will be here one of these days. :) And everything always looks sweeter in the springtime.
I know what a hard time it's been and I think it's a wonderful effort for you to post. I hope you did find some joy and know that you and your family will continue to be in our prayers.
Dear Becky:
I was so saddened to hear about the loss of your niece. I pray that God sends his angels to comfort you and your family through this difficult time. I hope your stitching helps bring you some joy and piece of mind each day. It is always a pleasure to see your projects and to read your blog. These projects you've done are gorgeous and I love the Halloween one.
Take Care. Always remember you have many friends and supporters out here in blogland.

I am so glad to see you posting again with your lovely work. Your blog was one of the first that I ever visited during the pumpkin challenge last autumn. You inspire me with your creativity and your grace. I have Halloween Cove in my stash and I think I will stitch it on a similar fabric as I love yours! A new friend in Maryland, Karen K.
Great stitches Becky! You may not even read this comment, but know you are loved by so many and our prayers are with you and your family. Hugs!
I was so happy to see a new post from you Becky... And I'm so glad you've had your faith, family, and stitching to help you through such a sad time.
Your PS Winter is just lovely--I've stitched that myself and it is one of my favorites. I can see why you are having such a wonderful time stitching Halloween Cove--it just looks like a fun piece that certainly would be hard to put down.
Take care now...
This is such a sad time for you and your family. I'm glad you can find some solace in your stitching.
Becky,
So glad to see you back online. You and yours are still in my prayers.
Hugs,
Mary
