Becky said this was an older design from
her stash and he is just so cute. I love that
she stitched something for me that I
would never have stitched for myself.
I will enjoy this one in my office
for the rest of winter.

Next....Cindy Mae was quick to
mail her LK Exchange.
Another cute design and I love Cindy Mae's
finishing. I have it hanging on my pie safe and
it will surely bring a smile as I enter each day.

I have my first Crazy Challenge finish!
La D Da "In the Sweet"
40ct. Lakeside Linen
w/recommended DMC
I just love this design....
sweet definitely comes to mind.
Everytime I look at it I think of my
Granny Smith. She loved gospel music
and loved to sing hymns. I couldn't help
but hum this tune while stitching.
I know this will become a sweet little pillow
to keep with some other mementos
from my Granny.

Well...I guess I better get busy finishing
my exchange pieces. Time is a ticking......
happy stitching!
