Seasonal Exchange from Mare.....


I had this wonderful tote bag waiting in my mailbox today from Mare for the Summer Seasonal Exchange. I will definitely put this to good use! I normally don't have too many projects going at one time, but have found over the last couple of months I have started more than I have finished. I keep switching my projects between my big bag. This bag is the perfect size to store my ornaments in waiting with all of my supplies and it fits perfectly in my big bag! No more sifting and sorting when I get ready to stitch.

There's been some stitching going on but not much.  Work is really crazy right now and I have spent too many nights working instead of stitching.  Hopefully there will be some relief soon!  We did go to my mom's river house this weekend and had a nice, relaxing time.  I will leave you with one my favorite treats from the river.....

Known as Frogmore Stew/ Beaufort Boil/ Lowcountry Boil .......... this is just plain good!

  5. Hi Karen! What a beautiful bag...it's so "summery" A good lowcountry boil is a real treat :) I, too have been busy so my stitching and blogging have taken a backseat to all of the activities here at home...a good luck party and 3 moving to college...I will be stitching up a storm in a few weeks to chase the blues with all but one of my "babies" away! (Hugs)

    Hope work calms down for you, soon, Karen and that you'll find more stitching time (although I was on vacation at the beach last week and didn't get much stitching done there either!!).

  12. That bag is absolutely great. Stitchers never have too many of them and can always use more.
    And ohhhh, that stew ....
