Sails

Happy Thursday everyone!

Welcome to all my new followers Annnnnd Happy Valentines Day! :)

I've never been a huge Valentines Day celebrator. BUT I'm certainly not a hater! I mean come onnnnn a day all about love - how could anyone hate that!? Even if you don't have a significant other, it doesn't mean you can show how you feel about someone whether it be your husband/wife, mom/dad or even brother/sister! But this year I do have a special someone to think about :) I feel like I should recognize the day by making sure to spend time with the one I love at the very least. But as for big boxes of chocolate, extravagant dinners and huge bouquets of roses, v-day cards - well I was never a fan. Just show me that you love me and I'll be a happy woman! Of course a little bit of this 'I don't do Big Valentines Day' mentality went totally down the drain when I saw this on my bed: 

I nearly cried! No joke. I've never gotten roses before...

Such a sweet gesture and he even got one of my favourite teas. Yup, suffice it to say I was thoroughly surprised! I've defiantly got myself a keeper ;)

Now onto the stitchy stuff!

I've been merrily stitching away on 'Old Nantucket' over the last week or so and I've got a fair bit done. I stopped last night after having completed the word 'sails'.

Since it was (and still is...) billowing out I thought the word to be very poignant. I for one wouldn't want to open any sails in the wind we've been having lately! I might as well not even do my hair before I leave the house because between the winter hat and the wind... well lets face it... there's no hope. I've been longing for the spring for what seems like forever now and winter is hardly over yet - AT LEAST another month or so to go yet. 

So I think my stitching chair is where I'll likely spend the rest of these winter days. I just have no interest in the outside. It'd be ok if we had a couple of days of decent weather without the wind so that I could get out and enjoy the snow... BUT NOOOOOOOO it's either snow and wind or just plain old freezing nippy wind. It just makes me want to retreat. AS. FAST. AS. POSSIBLE. Even the thought of having to go out to my car makes me cringe. Nope, I don't want to have to battle the elements when I step out the door!

Hopefully mother nature gives me a little break on the weekend because I'm heading up to the cabin on Saturday!!! Snowmobile, crackling fires and good friends await! To say I'm counting down the days is an understatement haha.

I suspect my next post will reveal my Giveaway winner! Make to leave a comment here if you'd like to participate! Ends on Sunday February 17, 2013 :)

Until next time,

Melissa
