The weather was dark and gloomy
when I got home from work but my
mailbox certainly was sunny!
Amy sent me the cutest goodies.....
Amy is a very talented finisher and I just
love the housewife. Green is one of my favorite
colors so this is just perfect. The initial design
on the cushion is from BBD's "Garden Club"
book ....don't you just love it? I love the
finishing fabric on the cushion, which is from her
"special" stash. I just love the little flowers...
Oh...I so wish I could sew! With all of the pockets, the housewife will be a great addition to my stitching bag. Thanks again Amy for a wonderful gift.

BOAF "Bitter Flower Sampler"
I really like this design but just couldn't
get into stitching it last week so I abandoned it.
I decided to give it another try last night
and was rolling right along with no problem.
Isn't it weird how that happens??? I still haven't
looked through my stash to see if I can find some
older 610.... I'm sure my collection looks like
yours and you have more than enough DMC to
last you a lifetime! So...chances are I
have an older skein and I just need to look for it.

Thanks for all of your nice comments on
the ornaments. If you haven't tried the
humbug finishing, you really should give it
a try. It was very easy and the best part is
it didn't require a sewing machine!
happy stitching.....
