june 27 - i'd lose my head....

if it wasn't attached...I'm sure I would! Last night I was looking all over for my pinking shears because I wanted to finish off a small needlebook for an exchange and I couldn't find them anywhere. Now these have a large bright orange handle so they should be hard to hide, but apparently not! So this morning one of my errands was to head to Michael's for a new pair, which I did and now the little Quaker exchange for the Stitchers' Timeout group is finished and posted before the deadline..yeah! I can show a picture because all of the exchange pictures have been posted...we just don't know which exchange we each will receive. It's a fun way to do an exchange, I think.



And I know I am not supposed to be buying any more stash, but I couldn't resist these. (I should be receiving 2 more from Mary Kathryn later this week as well....) The small LHN design was designed for World Vision. I love mermaids and think these are adorable, and I adore this new La-D-Da design. I think I may even spring for the Gloriana silks for this one. There are only 3 colors after all....


Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend...it has turned very hot today and sunny!
Thanks for visiting!

(ps I just figured out how to move my photos around!)

  8. That's a very pretty finish. I have this sort of banding in my stash too. You used it very creatively.
