One of the things we wanted to make was a stitcher's lap desk. We did have a pattern and after a few bumps in the road we were successful. Here is a couple of pictures of mine.
The top is magnetic and the bottom is filled with pellets from a bean bag chair--which happen to be pretty weightless! If I were to make another one, I would make it a little smaller I think but I am happy with it. I have been wanting one for some time.
I did stitch "Treat Your Self Well" by La-D-Da, just the words and quite a bit on CaHRH. I will post these later when they are finished.
Today I finished LHN's "Remember Me" which is a special release. This was the new kit for Breast Cancer from Elegant Stitch. It turnedout very cute.
That gorgeous pin came with it also!
Yesterday, I heard from Faye, who is my season exchange partner for the Stitching Friends Through the Seasons blog. Faye loves LHN Designs and the color red.
I stitched a portion of "The Strawberry House" and finished it as a pin pillow. The rest of the exchange had a red/strawberry theme.
Today, I am going to pull some more projects together so they are ready to work. I could get used to this not working thing. LOL!
Thanks for visiting and have a great day!
Happy Stitching!

Your lap desk looks great. I like the large size of it. I find the one's available at the store are to small to work with.
I read Faye's post and I can see why she is so thrilled to have received all of your beautiful gifts you gave her.
You sure do know how to spoil someone!!
