More Tulips

Today is my mom's 88th birthday. The celebration will be tomorrow with my two sisters and their families. I decided to stitch primitivebetty's spring freebie for her. Well, somehow I miscounted and the design was completely off center. So, I decided to dress it up a little to compensate for my error. Here's what I came up with:

Now don't look too closely at the ribbon or the bow! I had the iron too hot and the ribbon went poof, so I had to make a little bow. Another stitcher had added some button to her finish, so I used her idea. I think it turned out sorta cute.

The day trip yesterday was alot of fun. I'll post some photos later this weekend.

I finally got my HoE Woodland exchange in the mail. It has over 4800 miles to travel, so it will be a while before I can post the photo of the exchange.

Well, guess I'll stitch a little before I head to dream land. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Tulips

I've been quiet for a little while. Last week I had a miserable allergy attack, so not much was done. Before I got sick I stitched up primitivebetty's Tulip Time for my mother and my friend Diane. I finished Diane's into a little hanging pillow. Will give it to her tomorrow. We are going on one of the bank's day trips. We leave at 7:30 am...I have my alarm already set! I finished my exchange for the HoE Woodland Friends. I still have to get it mailed. Will post the photos as soon as my partner receives it. Well, here's my little pillow:

Mail box surprise

I stayed home from the Humane Society today. Had a day of dizziness and headache. As long as I didn't move too quickly I was ok. Finished the stitching on one of my exchanges, yea!

Imagine my surprise when I went to the mail box and found a package from Sonda in Oregon. I was one of her blogoversary winners. Just look what she sent, and it's purple too! I am honored to receive a gift from her. Thank you Sonda! I love it.
