Today is my stop on
Thank you Jo for hosting this festive gathering of cross stitchers.
This jolly little man of snow is "Mr. Frostickles"
There's a topic of discussion each year as well. This holiday season we're asking
"What's the Best Present You've Ever Received?"
It can be at any time in your life and from anyone.
Mine was a special soft sculpture doll I named Cathy.
It was a gift my Mom busily stitched while I was at school.
Cathy came to me with a pink flannel nightie covered in tiny rose buds,
a dress, 2 pinafores and 2 pairs of bloomers! She had an embroidered face, long black wool hair done up in braids and bangs. I remember taking her everywhere and that's probably why Cindy,
our beagle (who was extremely jealous), chewed her to bits one day!

Join us right up until Christmas and see all the lovely cross stitch this hop has to offer.
MERRY CHRISTMAS

Oh, poor Cathy! It's amazing how jealous a pet can get; I can only imagine your heartbreak and your mother's probable frustration with Cindy!
ReplyDeleteMr. Frostickle is so cute with his twig hairs. And congrats on your batiks too haha. :D
A lovely little snowman. And such a nice story about Cathy. Just the end of the story is not so nice. But what do dogs know about these things.
ReplyDeleteYour snowman ornament is gorgeous
ReplyDeleteOh Cindy!! That is just too bad.
