Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day! What do you for Valentine's Day? Do you go out to dinner, see a movie? That is exactly what I did. I went and saw Valentine's Day. It is a cute movie.

Are you excited about the new releases at the Nashville Market? I am looking forward to seeing what the designers have come up with over the winter.

I am showing you my progress on my CHS stocking. I am over half way now. Woohoo!

Here is my work on CHS Purity of Heart.

Here are a couple of my old Valentines. I wish they still made them like this. I love the bright colors.


I enjoy feeding the birds. Hey, Cardinal! He seems to be saying, "Stop taking pictures and get the us the seeds, lady".


How many cardinal do you see in my cherry tree? I had this many in my other tree but couldn't get a clear picture of them. My dad will be so jealous. He enjoys watching the birds too. So does my cat, Shadow, he had his nose pressed up against the window watching too.

My other neighborhood friends. Hello, Woodpecker.


Other visitors to the feed box. How are you doing Blue Jays?

I am glad you stopped by. Hopefully I will have more stitching to show. Until next time, Happy Stitching! Tanya

Beautiful WIPs! I love your stocking, and Purity of Heart is another I'd love to do someday! Those old fashioned Valentines are lovely. And wow! I don't think I've ever seen that many cardinals all together! We have at least one couple in our neighborhood, but you don't usually see more.

Best blogpost of the day! I love this CHS stocking - it's one of my favorites, and that's really saying something. And the bird photos - wow!!!

A very good progress made on both your WIP's. Pictures of the birds looks great. Thanks for sharing.

I love your bird pics, Tanya! I need to get a book so that I know what birds we get over here. I can identify only a few. I miss seeing all the cardinals and blue jays that we have in Delaware, so I enjoyed seeing your pics.

Great stitching pics, too! Lovely progress on the stocking, and I love your Purity of Heart!

Hi Tanya :)
The pictures of the birds are delightful! I love blue jays, but they sure don't like me! LOL!
And the progress on your stocking is beautiful!

Tanya, I love your bird photos. Excellent pictures. I have that CHS design in my ever growing stash. It's one of my faves. Can't wait to see more of yours.

Your stocking looks wonderful as does your Purity piece! I just love those old Valentines. They are so sweet and cheery...you have two beautiful ones! And wow - what amazing visitors to your backyard - the cardinals all in that tree - wow!!! Love the photo of the woodpecker!

If I didn't know any better, I would think cardinals were fairy tale concoctions. They don't live here, so thank you for showing these gorgeous pictures.

You're making great progress on your stocking! What's your secret?

Beautiful progress on your Wips Tanya. I just got Virtuous Woman the other day. I can't wait to start it (one of these days). :) Love all the bird pictures too - they're so pretty.

Beautiful stocking! And congratulations on being so far along with it. I would like to stitch this someday.

Beautiful birds, too. I think that's the most cardinals I've ever seen together in one place. I'm glad you feed them.

Hi Tanya!

I have enjoyed reading your blog. I am jealous that you got to see the movie Valentine's Day! I am looking forward to seeing it too!

You CHS stocking is looking good! Doesn't it feel good when you are half way done with something?

The pictures of the birds are gorgeous! I love cardinals...they just seem to catch the eye, don't they?

Till next time...Happy Stitching!
