And... no HOHRH tonight either! I have this one last exchange to crank out by the end of the month, and God Bless It, I am doing it right now!! LOL. After this, I can get into my usual rotation/routine again for a bit :-)
In the meantime, dear Becky has received the What's the Buzz Exchange (SBEBB) that I put together for her. It was sheer pleasure to have drawn Becky's name for this exchange... I mean, it's not like she likes bees or anything like that, right??
Dizzy Busy Bees
The Sweetheart Tree
Zweigart Vintage Country Cream Belfast, DMC Floss, Mill Hill Beads
I nicked Becky's photo of all of the goodies off of the bulletin board - hope you don't mind Becky... I always forget to take a photo of all of the goodies before I seal the package!!! I tried to stick with a bee theme. Now, it sure it not easy to choose bee related stitching items for the Queen Bee, as she has them all. But, she likes it all, so whew! I always feel intimidated stitching for Becky - we all know how skilled she is!!
And... lucky me! I received my first exchange today from the Crazy Exchange group! I received this adorable quilted needlebook and skein of VC silk from Susan!! I don't have a link to a blog for her yet.... isn't it sweet?? Thank you Susan, you made my day!!!
A few of you ladies have recently left me comments wondering how to make scissor fobs. I used this link my first time around, and wow, it is so easy and the photos and instructions are so clear... so have at it stitchers, I cannot wait to see the fobs you make now! The same woman (Annette) has a fantastic biscornu tutorial (she has a link at the top of her page), which I also used my first time around. There you go, you are all set now!!!
Back to my secret stitching now.... ;-)
Stitched on today: The Mermaid and the Sea, and started Quaker Alphabet Exchange project **Sent off my Redwork Exchange today
