It's been a long time - WIP update

It's been a while since I've posted, but I'm finally getting back into my stitching after DH's heart attack last November.  I've been working on Papillon "Castles in the Air", Mirabilia "Winter Queen" and The Workbasket "Quaker Sampler".  I've mostly worked on Quaker Sampler and am 3/4 of the way done with it I believe.

Here are some pictures of where they are now.

Oh, and almost forgot this one that I'm working on.  LHN "Trustworthy & True" - I bought this one to make and give to my daughter & son in law for their 2 year anniversary this year and I also bought the "Strong & Beautiful" and "Soft & Sweet" from the Little Women Virtue series to give to my daughter and grand-daughter respectively.

Speaking of my grand-daughter, Emma has grown like a weed and changed so much over the last few months.  She is now 2 1/2 and definitely becoming her own little person.  My son in law with his parents have a farm where they raise alpacas, Dexter cattle/beef, and Jacob sheep, in addition to his Dad running a recycling business.  Emma loves to help feed the animals (including their own egg chickens), and work in their "shop" with mommy and daddy helping them sort the metal.  Here's a few peeks at our precious girl.

I love the Castles in the Air - it is so beautiful. The other two look great too!!

Your granddaughter is so cute!! 2 1/2 is such a sweet age (sometimes challenging, but so sweet!)

Your granddaughter looks a like her Mommy. :) I can just imagine how much fun a farm would be for a toddler.

Your WIPs look beautiful.

How is the DH doing?
