Not One....but TWO!!!

I have been a very lucky blogger this last week! I won not one but two giveaways! WOW!!

Well, both packages arrived in todays mail!

The first win was from Myra over at G8dame's Place. I won one of her little boxes! Myra stained and waxed the box and included a lovely piece of fabric for finishing!

Thank you so much Myra! I will treasure this box!

My second win was from Pam at Confessions of a Southern Stitcher! Pam's giveaway was a needlebook and scissors fob which she had stitched, but she surpised me with so much more as you can see from this picture!

Can you believe all the goodies! Look at Pam's beautiful stitching! And the little buttons she sent are so cute! The scissors are just lovely!

Pam included two pieces of linen, some beautiful silk threads and "A Sheltering Tree" design. And don't you just love that lady bug cookie! It's too cute to eat!

Thank you Pam for all of my goodies! I love it all and really appreciate your generosity!

On the stitching front, I am sorry to say that not much stitching has been going on this week. I did make a start on "Ann Grant" but only managed to put in 25 stitches or so, so no picture update. This is my first time working with silk thread and I have to say I love it. The thread is so soft and beautiful and just glides through the fabric.

Hopefully more stitching will happen over this weekend! I really want to finish my LHN "Virtue Sampler" and get more stitching in on "Ann Grant". I will certainly give it my best to accomplish these goals!

Blessings to all and happy stitching!

Guess What Arrived in Today's Mail

From reading the blogs it sounds like everyone had a wonderful Easter!

My Easter was very nice. My two sons and their wives and my new granddaughter were here for Easter dinner along with a couple of friends! The weather was beautiful, although a little on the hot side and the Easter Worship Service was especially meaningful.

Now onto the excitement for the day! The mail-lady left a goodie in my mailbox today from Wasatch Needlecraft that I had ordered a few weeks ago! Ann Grant came today along with fabric and threads and Karen even included a complimentary mesh project bag. (Thank you Karen!) I am just so excited to get started!!

I have far too many WIP but I simply can't wait to start Ann! What's one more project? Right?! I know, I have no self-control! I can't help it. I will just have to spend more time stitching. Not a bad trade-off, don't you think!?!

Well, that's all the news for today. Hope you will check back at the end of the week for pictures of my progress!

Enjoy your week and happy stitching!
