For the Birds received by Erin

Erin has received the piece I stitched for the HoE For the Birds Exchange. I chose "Twitter Blue" again. I really like this design so much so that it will be stitched one more time as a gift for another friend.

On the stitching front is another exchange piece that is almost completed. I have a few days before it can be dropped in the mail. That's ok, because with my stitching mojo coming and going I need the extra time.

I have an appointment with my PC physician today. We will decide whether I go on insulin to get my diabetes under control. Seems my exercising and diet restrictions are not working. I really do not want to do the insulin. We'll see.

Another hot one is in store for us today and I'll be out in it quite a bit. On my agenda is exercise at the Y, Wal-Mart shopping with my mom, my dr. appointment and potluck at church tonight. I'll be pooped when it's all over.

Enjoy your day!

HoE Halloween from Erin W.

The postman brought a wonderful surprise today. My package from Erin W. was waiting on me in the mail box. What a great exchange. She stitched Hilda & Frankie by Doop designs and finished it into a tin topper. Her first I might add. Isn't it fantastically finished? She included great goodies also. Thank you so much Erin, I love it. The button is just too cute! I love Halloween, so this is a real treat. I can't wait to find a place to display it.

This is the front of the tin. Isn't the beaded latch a cutie? It looks like a pumpkin.
Here's the inside. Complete with the little Kelmscott scissors.
