I am finally able to show you the goodies from the Fall into Halloween Exchange from the Stitched With Love Exchanges, hosted by Lainey.
I prepared a package for Dawn. I discovered that Dawn went to the same college as my husband and me ~ it's a small world ~ she even graduated the same year! Here are the goodies I sent to her.
Some leaf buttons, fabrics, flosses, candle, Jolly Jack pattern, hand towel, a little basket, and a place to rest her needles. 1692 is the year of the Salem Witch Trials.
I received the following goodies from Nancy. I feel completely spoiled. Buttons, thread winder, a fabulous book on samplers, the ornament magazine, Jolly Jack pattern and....
this fabulous pillow!! I forgot to take a picture of the fabric on the back, a cute orange and black check.
Thanks so much Nancy!! I love it all!!
Back in September, I was chosen by Veronica to win one of her Cathedral Window pincushions. It had a long way to travel ~ all the way from Malaysia! I was so excited when it arrived, it's even prettier in person.
Thanks again Veronica! I really love it!
Here is my once~again~overdue Tusal jar.
Can you see those reds, blues, greens, golds and white at the top?
They are from the last three ornaments for the year!! Another set of three sleds. I want to thank June for keeping me on task with the ornaments this year. I still have to go back and do the finish~finishing on a couple of ornaments from earlier in the year.
These were so fun to do and easy to assemble. If you are interested, you can find these sleds and varying sets of patterns at Dixie Darlin in Pigeon Forge, TN. They are exclusive to this shop and they have recently added sets of bird ornaments, with designs to attach to the wings.
This past weekend was the final baseball tournament of the year. My middle guy's local travel team, the Bulldogs, came in second place! Granted, there were only three teams (three teams had to drop out ~ two were due to the lasting effects of Sandy in their hometowns), but they had the same record as the 1st place team, 2 wins and one loss. They just happened to lose the one that would have given them first place...that's my guy on the left after they were awarded their trophy.
And I can't leave you without a puppy update. Panzer turned 8 months old last Thursday!!
Here he is being tempted by the ribs that my little guy is eating.
And here, well, my husband went in to work real early one morning. I opened my eyes to find this...
Looks rather comfy, doesn't he?
A final quick reminder, anyone placing an order with the Strawberry Sampler, between now and the end of the month, will receive 20% off their order if "Bramblewood" is placed in the comment section of the order form.
I want to take a moment to wish all of you, and your families, a very Happy Thanksgiving!! May your day be filled with love, laughter, family, friends, and good food!
