new squares

I have to say, I am loving this project! Not only is it a joy to be thinking of things that are blessings and things I am grateful for, but I have missed needle-work and this has reminded me how much I enjoy it.

I stitched a cell phone, because I am so grateful for the connection with people it gives me. Not only in the every day communications with my husband, but also because it makes me feel closer to the dear people who are far enough away that I do not get to see them as often as I would wish.

Music is my next square. Music is a blessing in so many ways: it's encouraging, uplifting, relaxing....you can dance to it, sing along, cry. There is a type for every mood, and I just love it.

Ice cream! I had a friend once tell me, "There's always room for ice cream! It fills in the cracks!" And it's cold, and sweet and delicious!

And the final square for now, is a double depicting our yearly week spent at a lake with my family. This has been a yearly tradition now for three years (this summer will make the 4th). It is a time I look forward to all year, just like Christmas and my birthday...it is a time of lovely relaxation and a good solid chunk of family time.
