Crafts of Sunday's Past

I finished this alphabet sampler the year Kristen was born.  I think this was one of the last cross-stitch projects I worked on. This hangs in my kitchen.

When I was growing up my mother made a clock similar to this from a kit she purchased from Better Homes and Gardens Magazine.  After all these years she still has that clock but it no longer runs (I think). I always loved that clock.  It reminds me of home and of her.  When I moved to Oklahoma and was taking BH&G magazine I found a clock kit in the back of the magazine and ordered it. I made my clock the year Joe and I got married and it hangs in my kitchen.  We've changed out the clockworks in it several times and it no longer runs either.  But I keep it as a reminder of home.
