Look what I got.....

I was lucky enough to win Angela's blog

giveaway and the mailman was nice

enough to deliver it today!

Having exchanged a few times with Angela,

I knew this box would be finished to perfection. 

And it is.

This one is an extra special treat since  

Angela's mom stitched the design and

Angela did the finishing. 

I have two stitching spots and I always have to

haul my scissors, readers, needles, etc. from

one spot to another.   This perfect for all of my

accessories in my downstairs spot so that I

just have to pick up my stitching and go.

Thanks again Angela....this will be a treasure.

If the road to you know where is paved

with good intentions, I am driving the bus.

I had good intentions in starting Colonial Garden

but found myself in a quandry.   Although I

love it on the dark linen, I was leaning

toward stitching the lighter version. 

Since I can't make up my mind, I decided to

pull out another Crazy Challenge piece. 

Elizabeth's Garden "Nantucket Sampler"

I was still in the seafaring mood so I decided to

stitch on this until I figure out my linen dilemma.

I love the design but am iffy on the border.   The

white is just too "white" so I think I will give

it a tea bath once done to tone it down a bit.

Well I'm off to stitch....thanks again for visiting.

Hope you are having a stitchy week.
