Endings and Beginnings

Finally reached the end of a sampler that although small, took forever.






Hannah Cummins, 1828 With My Needle

Love this rabbit-


Garden Rabbit Ornament Cherie Wheeler Designs

My semester at school came to a close and I'm eagerly awaiting a package from The Essamplaire to fill my time until the summer semester begins. I will be taking a couple of classes online, so thankfully no traveling.

Another ending that is also a beginning-



My son graduated (magna cum laude) and will begin the next half of his college career in the fall. Way to make him squint into the sun. :)

The beginning of a new life together. The weather cooperated and it couldn't have been more beautiful-







Guess google reader is going away, and although I'm not sure how bloglovin works, I guess I will give it a try. Not sure if this is necessary, but Follow my blog with Bloglovin

Hope you are enjoying a beautiful spring day. Thanks for taking the time to visit!

Congratulations on all the happy events! You must be so proud of your son for his academic achievements.

You've reminded me how much I like the Hannah Cummins sampler. I think I need to stitch it!

Enjoy your weekend, Penny!

Magna Cum Laude! You must have been beaming with pride at your son's wonderful achievement! Congratulations to him and to the lovely bride and groom on a new beginning for them.

Hanna Cummins is just beautiful and I love the wonderful verse. Cute bunny silouhette. Your needles have been very busy!

Wow Penny! Love your finishes. Very cute bunny... and the sampler is very nice!

That was kind of a wicked trick on your son, making him face the sun and squint. ;) Congrats on his Magna Cum Laude! Quite an achievement!

What a beautiful wedding! Your daughter's gown and hair look perfect! And what a handsome groom! Here's wishing them many wonderful, prosperous years together.

You've had a wonderful month already. I'm sure you're very proud of them both. :)
