Country Cottage Needleworks Cottage Thread PackModified to add Sheep (my favorite) and Yellow flowers (yellow and blue = Vonna's favorite colors) and she added my name....isn't it cute?! I love it so!
And she finished it in my FAVORITE finish....the pinkeep :)
The back with lovely yellow and blue fabric!
The whole "kit and kaboodle"!
Amy sent me lovely cards, a "V" magnet, some John James gold needles (never tried these bad boys!) and two hanks of linen in a lovely green and blue colors. I've already got projects figured out for the linen!
Well Keith and I did the 'ol "Tag your It" when I got home from work, he's now at work and will be until 11 p.m. tonight. It's 4 p.m. here now, so that means I need to make supper, finish homework with the students, load 'em up and haul 'em to baseball practice at 5:30, then back home at 7 p.m. just in time to get baths and into bed by 8 p.m. Then maybe Mama can get some stitching squeaked in before bedtime...fingers crossed!
Until next time....keep stitchin' and smilin'
What a lovely exchange :) She had share with me what she stitched and I think it turned out just beautifully :)
ReplyDeleteThat's such a pretty pinkeep! The colours are so fresh and spring-like. Hope you get plenty of stitching done tonight.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful pinkeep!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful pinkeep. You must be thrilled with it ;)
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful pinkeep!
ReplyDeleteVery nice pinkeep. Nice colors.
ReplyDeleteYou amaze me at how you can work, take care of 4 children and still get so much stitching done. You are "wonder woman".
That is a beautiful pinkeep!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely pinkeep! The colours are so soft and lovely
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely exchange!
ReplyDeleteThat's such a great exchange, and so "you"! :D
ReplyDeleteTried to get a 'thank you' email to you regarding signing me up for the FS round, but it bounced back twice. So here's my "thank you, Vonna!" ;)
Pretty pinkeep, really like the backing fabric :)
ReplyDeleteGlad the new job is going well so far
What a pretty little house and lovely finish.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely little spring home! This is such a sweet pinkeep. The squares you received in your previous post are very pretty. I really do need to stitch the PS birds. They are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteVonna,
ReplyDeleteHow do you do it all? Can you send me some advice? I work and have ONE child and still pale in comparison to your stitching accomplishments!
Beautiful Pinkeep!!!

I can't get over how much you get done, and you house is so warm and welcoming and beautifully decorated (and so spotlessly clean). And congratulations on the First Communion!
ReplyDeleteFunny thing about the Pope visit. I was thrilled literally to tears, and I'm not even Catholic (I'm an Episcopalian--so maybe it's the Catholic "lite"?) Or maybe it's because I've thought from time to time over the years of converting (I believe that the Episcopalians, although in many ways similar, are simply getting some things "wrong," so sadly, I've stopped going to church. Then again, I'm divorced, so there's that.) But if anything is a shot in the arm in a shaky world, it's a visit from the Pope. It was wonderful to see so many joyful people.
Beautiful pinkeep. I love how she personlized it for you, with sheep, your favorite colors and your name!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful, Vonna. Amy did a lovely job!
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely exchanges you have received over the last few days! So many wonderful stitchers out there! Congrats to your boys (and their proud family) on their big day. Blessings to you and yours!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful pinkeep - the addition of the sheep makes it even more special.
ReplyDeleteI dub thee Wonder Woman!
Your pinkeep from Amy is gorgeous Vonna:)

ReplyDeleteI love your life! Great exanges, great, beautifull home, lots of work (how do you manage all this??)...Congratulation for the boys Comunion, they were very handsome... I'm going to christening my child next June and it's a lot of hard work going on... If you have the time, take a look of her in my blog: there's a picture of her im my christening dres (to short...) and a small video, it's no need to knowing the tongue... Love for you and your family, good luck in your new job! MJ
