Crazy hectic times are here. Thanks to those of you that noticed I haven't been here in a while and sent emails to make sure everything was okay. The last few weeks have been filled with baseball practices, games and tournaments, family visits, scouts, and school field trips.
There have also been birthday surprises, exchange arrivals and very few stitching moments. The few and far between moments have barely added any threads to my tusal jar. You may have to look closely to see any difference since last month!
I did manage to get some pieces in their frames.
First up is the piece my mom stitched for me.
Next is the Humility Sampler by Heartstring Samplery.
And finally is the Treasured Pinkeeps by Pineberry Lane. I stitched the version that says, "mother" and moved the bottom border down, so that I could add my initials, my mother's, my grandmother's and my great-grandmother's. I love how this turned out.
This week the Strawberry Sampler, in honor of Earth day and Arbor day, is going green for their Wacky Wednesday sale! Click here for more info!
I will be back soon to share the birthday and exchange goodies with you!

Oh my gosh -- those frames! Those pieces in the frames! lol! Your framing is sooooo pretty! Great choices for frames all around. Spring is often a busy time of year with kids, isn't it? We just got through with the HS musical so at least that's over. :D
