Ornament exchange and a finish

Hi! Some friends and I are in a year long ornament exchange, the HOHOHO ornament exchange. My months have past but we have kinda gotten behind a bit. I rec'd my ornament from Michele today and it is gorgeous! Look at this great package she sent along with her ornament!



I also have Shelleen's ornament on it's way to her, late but it is finally on its way and i really hope she likes it. Can't show a pic of it yet though. I have to stitch this one a couple more times, once for my LNS's breast cancer silent auction in November and once for myself as well.

I do have a "finish" of another ornament. THis is one for the BC silent auction at my LNS. This was stitched by a lady named Sue who lost her battle to BC. She has stitched many ornaments over teh years for the auction and had a few of them already stitched up and her husband donated them to the shop. They were looking for volunteers to finish them up and i took a couple to finish. I am very honored to finish this for Sue's Legacy. The fabric the ornament is laying on is the backing fabric.

Mother's Day Flowers and more

Hi all! Hope everyone had a great weekend. It was quiet for the most part here which is always welcome. LOL Mother's Day we took my MIL out to lunch along with my BIL/SIL. We had a great luncha and lots of it, great food. The kids were in Vegas with their dad for the weekend so it was quiet here. We have been on major puppy watch but no puppies as of yet. Major nesting going on today though, keep your fingers crossed.
Well, my oldest, Brianna, brought over flowers on Mother's Day for me, very pretty red roses in a really cool vase.

I rec'd another ornament for the HO HO HO ornament exchange i am in from Shelleen. Shelleen also sent along some goodies that are wonderful! Thanks so much Shelleen!!! I love it all!


I do have a couple "finish finishes" to share. Michele had given me a bunch of her stitching finishes to "finish" for her however i would like (trusting me with her stitching). LOL Well, i chose Peace by LHN that Melinda stitched for her in the Fair & Square exchange awhile ago. I made it into a pinkeep ornament for MIchele. I really like how it turned out myself. Also, i went through my F&S's and found a perfect one to make a pincushion out of. This is from Lynda A in one of my favorite colors, purple. I think i am going to add a bead to the middle of it though, we'll see. I used poly pellets to fill it.




I have an exchange that is en route so can't show that one as of yet. And that is about all for now.
