Guess What!!!

We (I) are getting a new car.  My Honda Accord is now 11 years old and I am just tired of it.  While it only has 60,000 + miles on it I wanted to get rid of it before it starts giving me problems.  I also want a car with 4-wheel drive.  On Election day, November 4th, B and I went out car shopping.  We decided to buy a Subaru Forrester.  Has all the things I wanted on a car plus some things I truly don't care about.  We pick it up this afternoon at 4:00.

What am I stitching you ask....right now I am stitching Prairie Schooler 2019 yearly Santa.  I already have my next project along with the fabric all picked out. It is Lizzie Kate Winter Wishes. I have even checked to see if I have all the floss and I do, well except for one WDW floss but I will use DMC for that color since it is only a few stitched.

Emily & Carols' Wedding

My great-niece Emily got married on Saturday October 19, 2019  In Syracuse, NY at Redbarn20.  It was a beautiful wedding and the bride was gorgeous.  She and her husband Carlos live in Barcelona, Spain.  Since her entire family live in the United States they decided to have there wedding here.  The wedding itself was outside and it was a beautiful day for an outdoor wedding.  The reception was held in the RedBarn and was lots of fun.  Below are just a few of the pictures from the wedding.
