Variety of Projects

I hope you have all had a fantastic start to 2013.  I've been all over the place with my stitching lately -- can't seem to focus on one project for very long.  So I have a few things that I've been working on lately. 

Here is Frances:

This past week I celebrated a BIG birthday (let's just say it begins with a 5 (LOL).  Carol and I share the same birth date and my sweet friend sent me these BEAUTIFUL gifts.  I was so touched by her thoughtfulness and generous gift.  The Scottie small is perfectly stitched and finished.  I have it right next to me in my stitching room.  She also sent a pattern, finishing fabric and trim.  Carol -- THANK YOU again very much!!!  If you have never visited with Carol -- PLEASE click on over there right now -- you will be glad you did:))
 

Thanks for visiting with me.  I always appreciate you stopping by and saying hi.

Until next time.....

  19. Love all of the projects! I haven't tried the wool yet but I would like to. Great gift from Carol. Happy Belated Birthday. The big 5 birthday is a breeze, I hit the big 6 birthday in August. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.

  22. Happy belated birthday, Brenda! I love your WIPs--all of them are gorgeous! I can relate to not being able to settle on one thing. I keep reminding myself that the stitching police don't care if I work on one thing or twenty things, the main thing is--enjoy yourself!

    Lovely things you have going on. I also can't settle on anything, that's why I'm stitching a little on every WIP I have, lol

  32. Hi Brenda! Which book by WTNT is the Quaker House in? I know it was a collaboration with Blackbird Designs and have been looking for it for awhile now ... so I am getting closer. Would love your help in identifying that book for me. Also, what is the ornament or pin keep at the top of your blog? It looks like a Blackbird Design ... Love following what you are working on! BTW ... Happy Belated Birthday! Linda
