Dreams

I had a hard time deciding what to stitch next. That is unusual. My next project is often lined up well before I have a finish but I got off track somehow. It took some doing, but I finally decided on Dandy Dreams by Silver Creek Samplers. I'm thinking this will make a darling pillow when I am through! Yay ~ a new start!

Thank you so much for the kind words about my latest finishes! Anne has received my giveaway and Jackie has received my RAK. It is such a pleasure to stitch for my blog friends. I adore surprising someone with a hidden giveaway or a random act of kindness. My blog friends are the best!



Thank you for visiting my blog today!

    Ditto about blog friends. I count it one of life's blessings that the world can feel so "close" through internet friends.

    Great new start... I love that yellow green color. :D

    You latest stitching project has a motto that I know I sometimes need to be reminded of. I really like the letters on this one too. Kind of modern and funky looking.

    Thank you so much for the RAK! I just love it and will think of you every time I look at it. I never anticipated making friends when I started blogging. It's definitely the cherry on top!

    I love your choice of new start! Silver Creek designs are so cute. I'm in the process of deciding what will be my next stitch. I'm torn between two designs. Hopefully I can make up my mind soon.

    Your work is beautiful, how do you find the time to stitch so many projects. I am curious about the TUSAL jars at the new moon; I am intrigued.
