Stitching and Sewing and Smiling

Tonight I am sitting and sewing and stitching and smiling.

It has been a heart warming week visiting all the beautiful hearts in the

Hearts On Fire Blog Hop @ Just Let Me Quilt

and I started reminiscing today.

So I pulled out this keepsake box I made long ago.

In it are photos and mementos like the tiny school portraits 

of my children when they were young.

I am adding a few more recent treasures to this box tonight.

This was made seven years ago for 

Hugs & Kisses XO Blog Hop

There was a cute photo of a much younger Katniss helping me 

find threads that I had previously stored in the box.

Such a cute kitty helper.

Every time I sew and stitch I am making memories ... :-) 

I have been playing with these fabrics today.

I have also been making progress on my 

Stitches from the Heart Cross Stitch
