Happy September ...

I've had a wonderful mail day! I won a drawing on MaryKathryn's blog ... I won this adorable needlebook stitched and sewed by MK ... I just adore it ...

and she included these Christmas pins ... how cute are they! It's almost too cute to use, but I know I will be using it ... soon!
I participated in another exchange through Blackbird Designs Exchange blog. Rebecca stitched these cute stockings for me ... and her finishing is perfect!

Here's the backing fabric ... perfect! I can't wait to hang these on my tree this year ... Thanks so much Rebecca for stitching these lovely stockings for me ...

Over the Memorial Day weekend, Chris and Monica and I took a day trip looking for flat river rocks for a craft project. We took a break and built some rock towers. We had a fun day, even in the rain and found some great rocks ... can't wait to try out our craft idea ... pictures soon :) Here's Chris building his rock tower ...the completed tower ...

and here's Monica's rock tower ...and here's my tower ... this was my first time building a tower. Rock tower building is something Monica's family has always done when they go camping ... I think the tradition started with her Grandmother. Have you ever built a rock tower to leave for others to see? Very fun, try it sometime ...
and here's my rock hounds, cute aren't they *smile*
I hope September is treating you good. I love this time of year, Summer leaving and Fall arriving. The poor trees around here aren't sure what they should be doing ... almost time for pumpkins and fall flowers ... but right now I'm enjoying all the sunflowers in the stores ... yummy colors.

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

I'm grateful for sunfloweres ...
