SANTA for 2002 - A Prairie Schooler Pattern



 
 
 
I have been buzzy and as productive as I can be under the circumstances....
Doc says "Loose weight". 
My back, knee and foot problems are all connected. 
 So I am on a quest to do what the 'Ole Doc' says...twenty pounds for starters.
 I have to cook for skinny Papa and Auntie too. that means two types of menus???
Not in my book, Sooo, they will just have to eat what I eat...
We will see how long that lasts.
 
Anyways, I have dried 4 small pineapples and was surprised how easy and enjoyable it was. 
Might do a few more for the holidays.  Just got to find small pineapples.
 
 
Also...
Just finished a 'Prairie Schooler' yearly Santa for 2002.



 
My next X-stitch project will finally be the one that caught my interest in the first place...
The Scarlet Letter
the Heloise Williams Sampler
It is an original design by Marsha Parker using many traditional 18th and early 19th century motifs.  Including the multiple borders of strawberries.
I am still enamored with this design as I was the first time I saw it. 
No more procrastinating!
I am hoping for the best in more than one way.

 
Blessings and Peace to all
&
"God Bless America"

  2. Love the pineapples! How did you dry them? The Santa turned out great! Sorry to hear you have to lose weight. I'm on that journey now. It's difficult at the start but it can be done. Good luck!
