But on the upside, in between shoveling sessions yesterday, I finished the wedding piece for our friends.
The pattern was from Cross Stitch & Country Crafts -- the original text was "bless this home," but since the groom is a midwestern farmer, DH suggested I change it to "love grows here" (from another design I was considering). I also used Rhodes hearts instead of the larger cross-stitched hearts in the pattern, added the names (obviously), and finished it off with the crossed pieces of wheat and another heart for good measure. I stitched it on a piece of 28-ct. Zweigart Belfast linen. I think it turned out quite cute! And it means that I can schedule a trip to the LNS/framing shop for next weekend... hehehe
OK, time for another round of shoveling. Hope you are all staying warm!!

I worked on my garden yesterday. We had a cold front come through so the weather was glorious.

Very beautiful. You have done a great job of making it personal. Hopefully you are not snowed in for long. Take care
It turned out lovely Erin, well done.
Oh Erin! Can I get married again (to the same bloke LOL) so I can have one too?? It's GREAT!
Did I hear you ask about staying warm?? Here in Victoria Australia, we are supposed to be cooling down but we are 35 - 40 degrees celcuis today. Way too HOT!
