Another Prairie Schooler Santa
















Wow, February has flown by. Between my birthday and Valentine's day,plus an overnight trip to Sanibel Island, I have been very busy. The first was my birthday and that husband of mine fixed me a fantastic dinner and then took me the following weekend to the state fair and to the Hard Rock.

Valentine's Day was great. Tim bought me two new pair of earrings. One pair is gold hoops interlocked and the other is dangly with semiprecious stones in them. Very pretty.
Tim, Aiden, and I spent a night at Sanibel Island this month. We had a free night stay coming to us from Country Inn and Suites and chose to spend it there. Tim and I were married on the beach at Sanibel Island almost six years ago. It is one of my favorite places.
School has been very busy. The testing season is almost upon us. FCAT writing begins Wednesday. First grade will be SAT testing the last of March.
Mr. Aiden finally started riding his four-wheeler that he got for Christmas. Now he won't stay off of it!
I finished my latest Prairie Schooler Santa. Santa 2002. I put him on the same piece as the 2001 Santa. I made a few changes to the santa. Instead of being trimmed in green, I used blue to make him more patriotic looking and I used a Christmas red for his outfit instead of the plainer red called for. I plan on taking the santas to the framer next week. She has my framed piece for Jessie done and is suppose to have Aiden's birth sampler ready by next week. When I get the framed pieces back, I will post their pics.
I hope everyone enjoys what is left of this month and has a great March. Thank you for reading and taking an interest in my blog. Happy Stitching All!





P.S. Comments are always appreciated. Thanks, Angel
