I heard from Lauren today that the little birthday gift that I sent to her a while back arrived safely. I was getting very worried about this one. Apparently, Lauren was away on a business trip during her birthday...
And, Gill has let me know that her little birthday gift has arrived safe and sound too :-) I was looking forward to stitching this one for a while... I love the smyrna cross grapes on this one. The photo on Gill's blog of this fob shows the real color of the fabric - my photo is a bit overexposed, taken close to dusk outside...
I took a couple of garden photos today too, but I will hold on to them for another time, as there are enough photos in this post tonight :-)
Thank you, Karen!!! Karen sent me a generous gift certificate as an early birthday gift, and I ordered Just Nan's new Bellemeade - I love this one! It arrived today!!! Yay!!!
Stitched on today: Finished Paradigm Lost, and Fair and Square project

ReplyDeleteAs always Carol, you're an inspiration, thank you!!!
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWOW! Carol, Paradigm Lost is just absolutely stunning! I hope to get to admire it in person someday, as I can imagine that one could get lost on looking at all of the motifs for quite a while. I hope that you are going to do it the justice of having it framed soon. :D
ReplyDeleteThat biscornu is stunning; you always find fabulous buttons! Though I am curious to know how big some of these are, since the buttons I find tend to be too big for the biscornus. Great fob for Gill, as well. You are really hauling on the gifts. I'm so impressed that you manage to keep up with everything and still get all of this incredible stitching done. :)
When are you putting up a birthday ticker? ;)
Congratulations Carol!! Paradigm Lost is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWow!!! Paradigm Lost is gorgeous! I am still on my second motif :( I've really been enjoying watching your progress!
