Pretty, pretty, pretty!


Look at the wonderful presents I received on Saturday from my friend, Isabelle, in France. Isn't the fabric gorgeous? The lace is so pretty in person The pins are little roses (I just realized I didn't angle the camera to show the roses) and are so nice! Thanks, again, my friend!! I can't wait to use all these delicacies!

Quaker Stocking...again....:)



Here are a few more WIP pictures of my Quaker Stocking....just about 3/4 of the way done.

....tiptoes in with.....


here's a little bit of the "surprise" stitching:

Aren't the threads, fabric and ribbons pretty? It really looks much better in person; this isn't the best picture.






And then, here's an update on my Ultimate Needlebook...I'm thinking of adding Quaker motifs instead of the large red flowers on the front....

~ Frogs ~

Yep...they paid my stocking a visit yesterday....Had to rip out half of one motif and still have to take out three stars.....So no picture today....maybe a picture or two of something else I'm working on a bit later.....

Almost Halfway...


...and here's another WIP on my Quaker Stocking. I'm still enjoying this one. I checked and double checked my colors against the picture shown on the chartpack. I thought that I had reversed the colors for the two brown symbols, but I didn't. Mine is definitely different not the same as the picture shown. But, the good new is, that I like it just the way it is! I especially like how the brick color shows up so much better than the gold.

Pink Bird


I've finished the CHS Pink Bird into an ornament. It turned out cute.

I know, I know, what's with the duck? My husband attended a firemens vehicle show last weekend. He bought this duck for me. He actually has a little fire extinguisher and ax on a piece of twine around his neck. Funny, huh?
