Yesterday, the mailmain delivered a birthday gift from my dear stitching friend, Marie! What a surprise - I used to stitch a lot of bday gifts for stitching friends, but life circumstances changed dramatically and now I rarely ever have a chance to do that anymore. I absolutely never expect to receive gifts, and yet... look at this stunning surprise from Marie. I adore it - the colors are amazing and the stitching and finishing are perfect! Thank you, Marie, for the treat! I will email you today - I got in so late last night from a dinner with my mom, her husband and his family that I was not at all focused until this morning :-)
And then, the mailman brought another treat today! I received this adorable HoE For the Birds Exchange from Erin today. Isn't this sooooo cheerful! I love this little SamSarah design and the finish so much that it now sits in my hutch in my dining area and is so perky! I am so lucky! She also could not resist making me one of those fun fobs she has been making with her husband's grandmother's beads - she said Happy BDay in my card, so must be for that! I was admiring the one she had in her blog recently, and now I own one! See, I am soooo lucky! Thank you Erin.... gulp, now I better kick it into high gear to get my exchange out in time.... :-)
Currently Stitching: HoE For the Birds Exchange, and Family Reunion Sampler

Isn't it great to have such wonderful friends? Both gifts are lovely. I'm partial to that little pillow. The fabric is a perfect match.

Nice Birthday Gifts. Have a Happy Birthday. August is when all the good people were born!
I am always a big fan of your work (for the past couple of years), even if you are busy so you are not as active. :D It's nice to see you getting some nice gifts, too!
Lovely gifts to receive.
Simple designs are made so striking with the right color combination of floss and fabric!
