BLUE MONDAY & HAPPY GROUNDHOG'S DAY


Hello and welcome to Blue Monday hosted by Sally of Smiling Sally. If you go here you can get a list of all the participants.
Today I have for you my Holly Hobbie candle screen. Since one girl is dressed in blue I thought this would count for blue monday. I love this and it always reminds me of me and my sister. Funny story my girlfriends mom stitched me the same thing because it reminded her of the stories I always told her about my sister and I. Her's came to me unframed after she passed away so I'm making that one into a tote to carry with me and will always remind me of my sister and my friend Doris.
PS my sister and I did not live in Holly's era but loved to pretend we did! LOL

Please feel free to click on the pics to get a larger close up!

HAPPY GROUNDHOG'S DAY!
Our French Creek Freddie did not see his shadow so he is predicting an early spring. Somehow I don't believe him. It's snowing again today and is called for until Wed. That's why this post is getting up late. I've had to dodge the snow clouds to upload pics via my satelite. Enjoy your day and God Bless You and Yours!

A closeup my little pillow that I stitched several years ago.
Thank you so much for stopping by, I'll be posting some more of my Valentine's on Rose Wednesday with Jan and Tom's Rose Haven.
Bless you! Shirl

Holly Hobbie is great, I still have four little plaque pictures that I made in my bedroom and I love them. I'll do a post on them someday. The counted cross stitch pillow is very cute. Happy Blue Monday and Groundhog's Day!
