I finished the pin pillow today. It is stuffed with Lavender blossoms and walnut chips. It smells divine! This is a secret surprise for someone who reads this blog. Could it be you? I stitched a tiny strawberry and initials on the back side. This was so much fun to stitch. What made it even better was knowing it was being stitched as a surprise for a special someone. I really like making RAKs (Random Acts of Kindness) and surprising someone with a little treat! This is being mailed out on Monday when I get off work...
Edit: This RAK went to Becky K!!!

Since I like RAKs so much, I think I should make them more often. I usually save the addresses I receive when I do exchanges and such so I have a few choices. However, if you'd like to be considered for an RAK gift some day please email me your real name & mailing address with the name of your blog. If I get inspired, I might make you a little something. That being said...I cannot guarantee you will ever receive anything. I am not a prolific stitcher! But, wouldn't it be fun to receive a surprise out of the blue?
