Goodies to and fro....

There is nothing better than goodies from a
crafty friend.   After some email conversations
regarding pins and beads, Patricia shared
these cuties she made for Valentine's Day....

Aren't these cute??? 

I am "stealing" this idea so that I can

attach them to my Christmas gift tags.  

If I add a little tag with the year, my family

and friends will have a small token

for next year's tree.

To my surprise, Patricia also included this little gem....

Yes...that's a realy acorn cap!

I wish I had taken the pic with a quarter
so you can tell how small it really is.   She
made it too and all I can say is it is darling!

She also sent some chocolate but it
didn't make it to the photo....
I can attest it was good!

I have been most fortunate to become good 

friends with Faye, aka "Carolina Stitcher",

over the past few years.  

Faye is truly as sweet in person as you probably
believe her to be from her blog.  I wanted to

stitch a little something for her birthday

and one of Carol's new designs was just perfect!

iStitch Designs "Sew Forth"

stitched on 36ct Lakeside Linen

w/ Victorian Motto

I loved this design as soon as I saw it on Carol's
design blog, iStitch Designs.  Although the
design called from beautiful pastel shades, I
knew it had to be red.   I am very happy with
the results and hope Faye likes it too. 

This one will be stitched again soon with

the called for fibers...too pretty!

Thanks to this wonderful blogging

world, I have had the opportunity to meet

such wonderful stitchers.   Although I may

never meet some of you in person, it is

comforting knowing I have so many

wonderful "stitchy" friends in this world.

As always....thanks for visiting.

Sew A Brown Bunny....

To my own surprise, I actually did

some finishing today! 

(I hate  finishing.)

iStitch "Sew a Brown Bunny"

Stitched on 36ct linen in

ST Maple Syrup & Chives

I stitched this one up last weekend and did the finishing for a small pillow this morning.  This was such a cute design....just perfect for Easter.    I still think it needs a little something and plan to add some brown chenille to the edges. 

Thanks again Michele for the RAK!

I picked up this cute little container at the Dollar Tree just because of the sweet pink color.  Someone in blogland made a cute little flower garden using one and I decided to do the same.

I just love scrapbook paper!

With a little bit of scrapbook paper, skewers, paint and glue, I created a little garden that will sit on my office window ledge.  Best part is I can scrap it and do something else with the container when I get tired of it.

We are having a beautiful day.  So many parts of the country had horrible weather the last few days and my prayers certainly go out to them.  

Thanks for all of the birthday wishes.  I do appreciate them and need to get busy

stitching on all of my new goodies! 

 I hope you are having a great day too.

happy stitching....

How cute is this design! 

I picked up this little booklet with 5 bunny

designs last year and had forgotten about it. 

Once I spotted it in my stash this week, I

just had to stitch this one right up.  

Great way to welcome in April.

Michele was so sweet to RAK me this cute design from Carol and it is next up to be stitched. The weather the last two days has been just beautiful here in South Carolina so I am off to enjoy a little stitching in the sun!
