I participated in another exchange, hosted by Lainey, over at Stitched With Love Exchanges.
The theme this time around was, "Cosy Winter Stitches".
I received these great goodies from Renee over at Fit to Stitch.
And just look at this cute winter pillow!! Seems this winter, all I can do is dream about building a snowman. We have had mostly dark, grey, rainy days. I say, if it is not going to snow, then winter, get out of the way....I am ready for spring!
Thanks so much, Renee!!
Here are the goodies I sent to Melissa over at My So-Called Crazy Life.
I hope she enjoyed her goodies!
This was my first time attempting the beaded edge. Although time consuming, I loved it ~ especially the final look.
I have been able to do a little stitching and will be back soon to share. I say a little, as it seems the frogs are still hanging around ~ two stitches forward and ten back....
“So he started to climb out of the hole. He pulled with his front paws, and pushed with his back paws, and in a little while his nose was in the open again ... and then his ears ... and then his front paws ... and then his shoulders ... and then-'Oh, help!' said Pooh, 'I'd better go back,' 'Oh bother!' said Pooh, 'I shall have to go on.' 'I can't do either!' said Pooh, 'Oh help and bother!”

Both gifts received and given are beautiful. Winter is lingering this year. We had snow again this weekend. My poor plants are shivering.
