I heard today that Marika has received the little birthday gift that I sent off to her:
I was busy doing some finishing work today - it was actually a very productive day for me, thanks to rain (not a good day to go outside and rake leaves) - along with And A Forest Grew, I also finished my Harvest Time Exchange and a PIF gift... While working on the finishing of one of those (not telling which! - both recipients read my blog regularly, so I don't want to tip them off with these materials in the photo), Lily decided she would help me out. She spent our time together lying on the batting material. I got this photo of her while I was cleaning up, so she sat up... aw, thanks for the help, Lily!!
***If any of you are still looking for Gingher Bianca scissors, it turns out Mike was the first to get any Biancas up on ebay and they sold out - mostly by one buyer :-( He has another order in and they will be here in about a week. Special low prices for any size (4", 5" or 8") if you order directly through my blog. Just email me to let me know what you want. I just want to doublecheck the prices with Mike. The Biancas are so pretty - peach with colorful flowers :-)
Stitched on today: Finished Harvest Time Exchange, finished a PIF gift, and finished And A Forest Grew

Carol, a visit to your blog is always a wonder.... that you do such beautiful work in such a short time! And A Forest Grew is one of my all-time faves, and you did it proud. It's absolutely gorgeous... and a bit intimidating to me. I know, though.... one stitch at a time; one tree at a time.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful work and exchange things with us.
Congrats on finishing And a Forest Grew. It came out great!

Congratulations on the finish, Carol! Watching your Forest growing, makes me wanna start my own forest ;)
