I didn't have as much time as I had hoped to stitch on Rachael's RR tonight, but here is what I have added now: I finished the sailboat - and, I added irises from Barnabee's Quest, a birdhouse from Brightneedle's Nine-Patch Village, several clumps of marigolds, and a pair of Sand Hill Cranes from Drawn Thread's Moon Hill School Sampler. OK, now what to do???? I will likely add some of the beach sand near the cranes so they don't look like they are floating around on the ground. Then what? Oh, yes, I do plan to stitch water! More than one person has asked that! I will do that soon, and will likely use a half stitch, possibly with one strand of floss... not sure about that. You see, the objects in the water are all stitched over one, and I fear too thick of a stitch for the water will make them look odd. Then the whale tails will be added. I have a cute bunny and a cute hedgehog that I can stitch over one and add... Rachael, your thoughts??
And, here is a big treat for me today - Dianne has finished her block on my RR (the bottom center, isn't it gorgeous?? Wow, Dianne!! Thank you!!) and is going to post it off to Veronica soon! It has been such a long time since I have had a peek at my RR, and I love it!Also, I heard from Kendra today, and she received my little birthday gift for her (there is a much better photo of this fob in her blog) - it arrived a day after her birthday, but I guess an extended birthday is a good thing! Kendra, I am glad you like it! Happy Belated Birthday! (This is completed freebie #2 for the Freebie Challenge on the Friends Gather BB).
Stitched on today: Stitched a gift (start to finish), and Rachael's Neighborhood Round Robin

Happy Stitching!

Ah-hope Angus had a nice birthday-you should see if he likes James Taylor music since they have that bd connection!
You are having fun with Rachael's RR-terrific. I left a lot of blank areas as I ran out of time, and I stitched up to the last week. You are correct, your RR is all packaged in it's heart decorated mailer to go off to Veronica maybe tomorrow or Thursday. Sean is off for spring break and we need to go to Lancaster tomorrow and do birthday shopping for his dad too.
Your RR block looks wonderful Carol.
And Happy Birtday Angus :-)
Happy Birthday to Angus! It's really special after all he has to go through and you too. Dianne did a fantastic job on your RR-very pretty. Love the fob.

Your stitching on Rachel's NRR is gorgeous, Carol! I love the idea of The Mermaid Cove... The entire NRR is so lovely and Diane's cottage for your NRR is beautiful. I Love the way they are taking shape. :-)

Happy Birthday to Angus!
Great stitching there Carol. Love the RR piece.
Both of the RR's look fabulous Carol, must be very interesting trying to figure out which "bits" to stitch where, lol. Happy birthday to your sweet kitty.
You have done some great gardening on Rachael's RR! I bet you are looking forward to doing some real gardening now that it seems the weather is finally warming up:)
Cooper and Zoe say: "Meowy Birthday, Angus!"
I love what you have done on Rachel's round robin. I know you don't know me but I found your blog whilst looking for any Au Fil des Reves charts/kits to buy and instead I found your wonderful blog which I shall add to mine immediately if not sooner. I am just about to start my piece for the round robin I'm in from the Legacy EGBB and hope somebody like you works on it because your stitching sure is imaginative and really terrific.
