A Chairy-full-of-Mary

  I never enter blog give-aways or contests.  Never, until now.  I was tempted and I succumbed. 

 Greetings from Geralyn is giving away a 'Chairy-full-of-Mary' on
 March 7. 



 And, my, what a chair full of stuff it is! Who could resis that?
Fortunately, the give-away rules are not very hard.




All I had to do was to come up with my favorite Mary Englebreight quote.  That was really easy, because 


the first time I saw the quote that ME had above the doorway to her workspace, I wanted a sign with the same quote for my sewing room.


 So, my daughter Karen designed and cross stitched one for me as a surprise!  I was thinking it was a few years ago,


but the note on the back says it was made in 2002.   Wow, time sure does fly!


I probably don't have much chance of winning.  There are many, many, entries.  But you can't blame a girl for trying.



I enjoyed having my special quote above the work table in my sewing room until we moved and downsized in August, 2009.  Now, in my cottage at the end of Hickory Lane, I am working at the kitchen table.  One of these days, I will rearrange things, find a permanent workspace, and rehang it.  After all, as ME says:


Post Script:  I didn't win :(

I'm thinking your ME quote would look great right by the kitchen table! :0) Cute pics!

Even though I didn't win the 'Chairy-full-of-Mary', I DID start blogging again. I guess that is sort of a 'win'.
