I tried to put the picture and the link together but this is it to the right,a nice sofa and chair set!

I wish I knew how to pretty up my blog and add things like other people has on theirs!Help!

A painters easel I got at a yardsale,I use it for my charts!

The Chairs are Three

Have decided to throw myself into my work,to keep busy doing something,if it's only counting stickpins in a box!I would like to ask any one who plans on ordering anything from Joann.com to please go to them thru my link,I am doing this to try to earn money for my own stitching needs,otherwise I won't be able to buy anything new for awhile!so please do me a favor and help a poor stitching girl out!

Original picture of chart for Daddy

This is the picture I did my chart from,the one on my right is Daddy,he was so handsome then and even the day he passed away,still had the same hair style all those years.the one on the left is his brother,Joe Jr.,I know once I get my picture done Uncle Jr. will want it,and I will have to give it to him,because I love him and he loved my Daddy so dear.

My Daddy

This is a picture of my Daddy when he was a young man,I created the chart with pcstitchpro.I love that software!My Dad passed away at the age of 46,he was one of the greatest men that ever walked this earth!I miss him even after 23 years,He passed away from colon cancer 5 weeks after my younger brother(who was 26) was killed,he told me his sorrow was greater than his pain.My Daddy sat on the side of his bed and told my Mom(he always called her Tootie),Tootie he said I won't be with you on your birthday and sang happy birthday to her,he died that night,her birthday was the next day,she turned 43.Maybe this helps me heal after all these years,I know several family members have seen what I have done so far and they always cry.
