Waiting for floss ...

I've been working on an exchange and ran out of CC's Jakey Brown, lovely color by the way ... anyway here's what happened while I was waiting ... I finished I Love Reindeer by Midsummer Night Designs. I love this sweet design and I think Rodney likes it too lol ... Red Ribbon is my new favorite red ... yummy color ...

I've had this little design for a couple of years now ... I'm so glad to finally have it stitched!

Thank you for all your lovely comments on my last post ... love love love hear from all of you!

I hope you find your Joy in your stitches ...

I'm grateful for Red Ribbon ...

Exchanges

I do enjoy exchanges so much. I've met some wonderful stitchers through exchanges and I have some lovely stitched/finished pieces to display in my house. Let me show of a couple of things I've received recently.

First from Lisa on the Lizzie*Kate Exchange Blog. She stitched Plant Love and finished it into a pinkeep. I love these design but have never stitched it ... what fun to have it all stitched and finished for me now. Lisa's finishing is perfect ... and I love the heart pin at the top ... just adorable ....

My exchange piece is heading to England and I hope it arrives soon so I can show you a picture ... I was very pleased with how it turned out :)

Next is an ornament that Brenda stitched and finished for me from the Seasonal Exchange Blog. This is a very sweet design ... I've never seen it before and I'm not sure who the designer is, but it is cute! I have it hanging in my family room to enjoy for the rest of the summer ...

and I had Brenda's name for the Season exchange too ... I stitched for her Lizzie*Kate's Summer Scissor Fob ... it was a very fun stitch ...

Thanks for all your comments recently about the Silver Needle retreat that I attended ... I really enjoy reading all of them!

Hope you all have a great weekend and get lots of stitching time.

I hope you find your Joy in your stitches ...

I'm grateful for summer coming back ...
