Do you ever blink and find yourself wondering what happened? Time has been passing faster than I'd like...I need it to slow down a little bit.
Before anything else, I have to say thank you to a couple of fellow bloggers.
First is Denise from Riverside Stitching. She decided to pick one of her followers and send them a surprise!

Her husband insisted on including the German paper star. Isn't it cool? I see star making in my future. I can picture a bunch of them on the Christmas tree next year. Thanks so much Denise, I love everything! It was fun to receive something unexpected ~ perhaps I will surprise a few people this year!
Next up is Heidi from All My Scattering Moments. She makes some amazing things to keep oneself warm. I was lucky enough to win one of her giveaways in December and have to say, it couldn't have come at a better time...right when we are having some cold weather!
It's so very warm and the touch of the added flower makes it so fun!
Thank you so much Heidi, I love it!
I've stitched a little on the Humility Sampler. I'm just loving the colors and the border.
A couple from the February Word Play Chart ~ from With thy Needle and Thread.
This is currently at the Strawberry Sampler. Molly is painting a box to match. Won't it make a sweet Valentine's gift ~ of course, the box will be filled with chocolates!
Speaking of strawberries, just look at this one my little guy found in the strawberry bowl!
He thought it looked like a butterfly.
Do you remember our sunflower from the seeds Myra sent to us?
I left if alone for our feathered friends and now, it looks like this...
The birds have been feasting!
I'm still working on my ornament for the month. The pressure is on ~ June has finished hers already! I'm also working on a piece for the next Stitched With Love Exchanges.
Today is Winnie the Pooh Day....the birthday of A.A. Milne. I just love all of the Winnie the Pooh stories and Milne's collections of poems...so many great quotes...
I chose this one today for all of my friends that I have "met" through this blog.
“Friendship," said Christopher Robin, "is a very comforting thing to have.”

You received some lovely gifts Catherine.
Lovely progress on both your pieces.
Now that's a strange shaped strawberry!
Indeed it is Christopher Robin! ;0)
Your strawberry made me giggle! My husband quite often finds 'rude' shaped ginger when we're shopping at the supermarket! It never fails to amuse him!!
Your new scarf looks very warm - and so stylish.
Lovely presents you got! And your progress of the two projects are getting along nicely!
What wonderful gifts you have received. I enjoyed your post and seeing your photos.
Great gifts! Love the sunflower and the sweet looking strawberry...butterfly was the first thing I thought of too, LOL!
I love Pooh too! Happy Birthday AA Milne.
That strawberry bowl is too cool. I wondered where you were getting strawberries at this time of the year.
You've been stitching between baseball runs - those projects are coming right along.
Love your new scarf - and you are more than welcome for your surprise.
Your stitching looks great, I specially like the one that will be on the St Valentine's day chocolate box.
Have a good day!
Great gifts! Your sampler is looking good and I like the idea of the Feb wordplay being made into a box:))
You have reaceived some wonderful packages.
Love the little couple on the word play.
Loved Winnie the Pooh.
Teresa's Heartfelt Stitches
Lovely gifts.
Love both of your projects. The humility sampler is such a beauty. Love those colors. The february couple are so very cute.
Had a giggle about the strawberry.
Friends are such wonderful things, and I've found the stitching to community to be the best. You received some lovely goodies.
That strawberry is fantastic! I hope it tastes as good as it looks.
Love the sweet little couple you stitched from the February Word Play. It would be so sweet with just that portion made up into a fob or small pincushion.
I am just loving the Word plays- I am trying not to buy them until I go to camp in April.
Such wonderful gifts from Denise and Heidi--aren't blogging friends the best! Nice progress on your sampler and the little Wor Play couple is adorable--I just received the same chart for my birthday...
Time really does go way too fast--wait 'till you're my age :)
Lovely gifts you received. It sounds like they made your day :o)
The colors in your Humility Sampler are just gorgeous!
LOL! Poor strawberry...
What great gifts and stitching! That little couple in the February Word Play is soooo cute!
Wouldn't you love to sit at the table with Pooh and discuss the strawberry? :-)
I am so glad you got your scarf safe and sound and just in time for the cold weather! I am giving you a friendship hug each time you wear it.
Love your other surprise. Even a flower frog! Lucky you. They are so hard to find here and so expensive.
I am trying not to add to but use stash and miss great designs. I LOVE your Humility Sampler and have to now go look this up. Are you using the recommended colors? I love it!
Hugs from Holland ~
Heidi
You rec'd some lovely gifts! I love your Humility sampler, can I ask what fabric you are stitching it on as I love the color?
That is the neatest looking Strawberry :)
What wonderful gifts!
Lovely stitching on Humility and I love the idea of making the February Word Play into a box - the best kind of box - one filled with chocolate. :)
I love flowers that leave behind something for the birds to feast on. We enjoy them in the summer and the birds enjoy them in the winter. :)
Love the Humility Sampler - so pretty ;)
Came over from a link on Daffycats blog. Congrats on your win!
You have a lovely blog, I'll be back....
Love that sampler it is going to be beautiful, I shall pop back to see your progress.
Chris xx
What nice gifts! Lucky you! :) Nice progress on your stitching, too, Catherine!
You lucky girl! Love you little gifts. Also love that stitching lotion!
Wonderful samplers that you have started. I especially love the Valentine one. I need that pattern.
Cool Strawberry. I'm glad you took a picture of it.
Congrats on your win from Valerie too.
:)
