Poor Angela has had a terrible time with mailing packages. Some of the packages she sends take weeks to arrive. It was with great trepidation she sent off my Ornament Swap last Monday. I must admit I was a little nervous myself ~ but it arrived yesterday ~ one week, on the dot! Congratulations, Angela...perhaps the "curse" is broken?
Isn't her ornament gorgeous? You will have to visit Angela's blog for the details, I'm sure she will post them soon. The finishing is just lovely. I wish you could see it in person! Thank you so much, Angela!!!Oh.
My.
Freakin'.
Stars.
Have you seen the new Bent Creek charts out? Here are a couple of lovelies...photos courtesy of The Silver Needle.
Gnomes in a Garden Row. I 'bout fell over when I saw this one. It went straight into my cart and I couldn't type in those credit card numbers fast enough! My daughter, Jessie, loves gnomes (and so do I) so this one I couldn't live without.
Quaker Noel Row. This one is rather a change from Bent Creek's usual stuff. Very pretty! I resisted buying this one. For now. There are also a few "little" designs out new too. These are called Flair, top of page here. There is a snowman, a sail boat and some cute chicks under an umbrella. These were not resisted *grinz* not even for a second!I wanted to thank you for the sweet comments on my last few posts. Sheba has a swelled head and has been carrying on with the latest of her hedgehog stuffies. I have emailed the recipe for the toffee cream scones to those that had emails in their profile and asked about it. Thanks too, for the offers of the silk ribbon I need want. I believe there is some on the way to me! Little Mr. Bunny is nearly finished and I'm looking forward to putting him together!
Thank you for visiting my blog today!

ReplyDeleteThe ornament is beautiful. I visited Angela's site and it is lovely.
ReplyDeleteAwesome ornament swap! Will wonders never cease where Canadian mail is concerned, lol ;)
ReplyDeleteAngela's ornament is gorgeous! I love all that red. One week is pretty darn good. I shudder to see how long it will take for the giveaway goodies to arrive once I post them.
ReplyDeleteYour exchange ornament is just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteAs for the Bent Creek, you are a bad bad girl, enabling like that, I'm not sure how long I can hold out against that little sail boat
What a beauty you got..
ReplyDeleteLove the new designs!!!
Glad the mail got it right this time! :)
ReplyDeleteThose designs are really cute!
:)
Angela always does such beautiful work no matter how she finishes her pieces, doesn't she?
ReplyDeleteThanks for tempting me with the new Flair pieces, Sharon--that one of the chicks huddled under their umbrella is irresistible :)
Golly girl, I go outta town for a couple weeks and miss tons! I am glad that things have "quieted" down for you :) I love your ornament finish, it is gorgeous, and the new designs have me thinking...maybe I need to pay a visit to a certain little stitches store, and add a few things to my basket :)
ReplyDeleteHugs and kisses
Ma
What a beautiful ornament, I do love redwork. The new Bent Creek designs are so lovely, I really like the new Flair series, a few of those might just fall into my cart :) Happy stitching to you!
ReplyDeleteThat's a beauty of an exchange ornament.
ReplyDeleteLovely new stash - I really like the quaker noel and I'm not sure I will be able to resist!
Toffee Cream Scones - yes please - pipkate6663 at yahoo.co.uk
I am in LOVE with Gnomes in a Garden! Gotta buy this one up ASAP :)
ReplyDeleteCute ornament. Angela did a great job on it. I love that gnome row, hadn't seen the quaker row, but I like it. And those flairs are cute!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely ornament. That card is hilarious!
ReplyDeleteHmm - nice new stitches!
What a lovely ornament!
ReplyDeleteLove your new stash too, the gnomes are adorable.
Wowzers! Anything that Angela makes is awesome ;o)
ReplyDeleteYes, BC has put out some really nice patterns lately.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteThat is a beatiful ornament!!!! I especially like the gnomes chart I hope to get one day!!!
That is a beautiful ornament, and you did get it quick! As for your enabling - gee thanks. LOL I have been trying to be good, but people keep showing me their goodies, and it becomes very hard to resist. Will see how long I stay strong before I cave.
ReplyDeleteYAY for quick mail!!! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful ornament! So happy to hear the curse has been lifted! Those gnomes are cute!
ReplyDeleteSo glad the ornament made it to you in record time...worth waiting for cause its so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI have both the Bent Creeks, gnomes for dd and noel for me. Love them!
happy thursday,
babs
What a lovely ornament from Angela! So happy it arrived well and didn't take too long. :)
ReplyDeleteLove those new charts. I am sure when you get the Gnome one you will be very happy.
Hugs
Beautiful ornament !! I love those Bent Creek patterns too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful exchange - so very pretty!!
ReplyDeleteDarn you, Daffycat - just when my Visa card stops smoking, I visit you and it starts on fire again! My "couldn't resist was the "Quaker Noel".
(PS - can I tell my hubby that it's YOUR fault???) LOLOLOL :)
What a gorgeous ornament from Angela, yeah the Canadian Postal System is know to use sled dogs sometimes so it can be a tad slow. But now that the snow is almost gone, it'll be back to normal! ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou are truly cruel, you know that? rofl I haven't been around here in quite some time. .numerous things have kept me from stitching, and it just hurt too much to be tempted, so I kept my distance. .but I thought oh heck. .that is silly, I'll stop by to see what you are doing. .and what do I get?
ReplyDeleteTempted with gnomes, which are adorable, and reference to a toffee cream scone recipe that sounds totally delicious!! The Fates were lying in wait for me! Cruel I tell you!!!
So now you KNOW I'm going to have to buy another pattern for my stash, and maybe it will inspire me to pick up my needle again and give it a try, and perhaps whenever you have the time, to share your recipe with me, I totally, gratefully appreciate it.. and I'll try not to go into hiding again. .:-)
What a lovely swap gift, so glad that it didn't get lost on it's way to you.
ReplyDeleteBTW, loved Sheba's video debut!
Beautiful ornament and stitching! Cool new charts, too!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty charts and that ornament is awesome!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful ornament! I'm glad to hear it arrived safely!
ReplyDeleteOkay, that's a gorgeous red ornament you received!
ReplyDeleteNew stash is always a good thing, and looking forward to your silk finishing experiment. :)
I have to stay away from online shopping. I have this nervous finger twitch and the things just fall so quickly into my cart when I am not in control :)
