COUNTRY WHISPERS: All Out of Stuffing!

All Out of Stuffing!

There is nothing worse than getting to the end of a project only to realize that you can't complete it because you are out of stuffing or whatever else it may be...thread, buttons, etc.
I spent the whole day Saturday in front of the tv watching the Hallmark movies and stitching this little picture. I completed the hand stitching but wanted to make it into a pillow.
No time on Sunday to work on it because we had a wedding to attend...the coldest wedding that I have ever been to. It took place in an outdoor shelter at Wheeling Park.

Pond at Wheeling Park

It was a beautiful fall themed wedding. The only problem was that Mother Nature didn't cooperate that day. It felt more like a winter wedding.
Rain and wind along with temps. in the 40's. Yes, I know 40's aren't that cold but when you are standing on top of a hill with a steady wind blowing it feels a whole lot colder.
The poor girls in the wedding were in their fancy dresses but you'd see them sneak off every so often to grab a winter coat so they could get warmed up a bit.

The bride and groom didn't seem to mind, they were as happy as could be.

The Happy Couple

After we got our schooling done today I began working on the pillow again. I finished it and began stuffing it BUT I ran out of stuffing....argh!
I guess it will have to sit in the unfinished pile until I get to the store to get more.
That's OK though because I have plenty more stitcheries to work on until then!
Have a great evening!
