It's been a day spent with family and friends. Good times, lots of laughs, and food--lots and lots of food! It's not quite as bad as the turkey coma, but it's definitely a feel-good time!
Cold, blustery--who ordered this stuff? Those few days into the 50s sure spoiled us!
Okay, it's time to get a bit of sewing done before bed. [Shhhhh, it's a secret...NEVER tell anyone that you are making them something for Christmas. Then, when it's not done in time, you finish it after the holiday and hold it for the next Christmas (or birthday). Stops all that rushing and frustration and usually a few bad words. And NEVER give something unfinished as a gift. Then the pressure is on--when will you have it done, can I see it, when will it be done, you're not done yet? You get the drift. Remember, mum's the word! This, of course, does not work if you are crafting for children--they will not be the same size next year--just sayin'.]
Enjoy the remainder of this holy day and remember the reason for the season.
Blissful holiday hugs,
Sharon
Merry Christmas! Have a wonderful holiday with family and friends. Travel safely--Mother Nature is being quite contrary this year!
Holiday hugs,

It's been so long since I posted that I had almost forgotten the sequence! The good news? I finally have a wi-fi hotspot! I just couldn't face another second wasted on posting on dial-up. I have already saved so much time!
It's been a mixed bag around the Stroud household. Let's just chalk it up to being behind me and I, for one, cannot wait to see the rear end of 2013. I'm not usually one to wish any time away but....
I have the long-awaited blog contest prizes ready to mail on Thursday! Then I can reveal what the prizes actually are. I hope everyone loves them! (Two have already been delivered in person--they had forgotten they won!)
So, if the wi-fi works out, you can count on seeing more of me, more pics, and dare I say it in writing? Perhaps some short videos--okay, okay, don't get too excited. I think it's the fumes from the hotspot device!
Emily, hope you are doing better than okay. Cindy, how was the surgery? And to all my friends and loyal readers--thank you for being patient.
And as a lovely finish to this post, please enjoy this stunning Mariner's Compass made by Cindy O. Hand pieced, of course!
Special holiday hugs to all,
Sharon
P.S. This picture loaded in just seconds...I'm almost giddy!
