Sampler Finish

I finally finished this sampler I have been working on since this winter.  I took it with me on vacation last week and made some progress.  Sorry for the glare on the glass.....I'm not a great photographer...... on to my next one.....  Linda

Secret Envelope Swap

Thank you so much to Wendy from Ravenwood Whimzies for being my secret envelope swap sister.  Look at all the neat things she made......

This Vine - Hooked Rug

Finally finished....I started this rug back in November in a class I took with Maggie Bonanomi.  I really struggled with finishing it because it felt too "green"....  the pattern is This Vine by Janice Johnson, http://www.woolywoolen.com/patterns_ww_thisvine.html.  Here is a picture of Janice's version - it's fun to see how the same pattern can turn out so different.  I guess it's not totally finished I still have to finish the edges.  Linda

A This and That Necklace

What a hot weekend.  Stayed inside and worked on my hooked rug and put together this necklace from odd ball pieces of old jewelry and misc parts.  This was sure fun to make...made another one just like it but with a yellow brooch for the center.  Stay cool!  Linda

Check out my swap arrival

Jennifer at http://stitchanything.blogspot.com/ sent me the cutest pin keep for the Pin keep Swap put on by http://ravenwoodwhimzies.blogspot.com.  It is absolutely adorable.  It was such a fun package to receive in the mail.....she's so creative.  It was hard to get a good picture but it sits on a spool.  Thanks Jennifer!

Happy Mother's Day! Little Kids Presents are the Best!

Vintage Brooch Swap

Here is a picture of the brooch I received from my swap partner Wendy who lives in Georgia.  She saw how much I like]pin keeps and attached this brooch to this pincushion....how creative.  The swap was set up by aswapforallseasons.blogspot.com.  It was really fun....!
