CR group was meeting at least once a month, but we have decided to scale back to one every other month for 2026. The church group kind of meets when someone has a craft to do and wants to host. No schedule per se. I've also done a lot of crafts with the kids (Caleb and Trinity and Jyoti) and one day Trinity had a little craft party here with 3 of her friends.

I had a busy year with cross stitching for sure. I got a lot professionally framed this year at our local Hobby Lobby. They have a girl there that actually laces the pieces, and she does a great job. These are in no particular order. If you need more information on any of the pieces, just email me and I'll get you the information. The first piece I'll show was the 2024 Fox and Rabbit mystery which I finished at the beginning of the year and loved it so much it was worth framing. It hangs near my entrance and is quite a show piece. 2024 Fox and Rabbit Mystery Robin Pickens Summer Prairie Schooler April Blackbird Loose Feathers Summer, Autumn and Winter Dutch Rose April Basket Lucky Leprechaun by Threadworks Celebrate Love --Not framed yet but done stitching Blackbird Designs Raise A Glass Key to my Heart by Threadworks Uncle Sam by Threadworks Hydrangeas Prairie Schooler July Jacks Bash I think it's called North Pole by Kathy Be...
