Because Nice Matters

I know I have said this before, but, I have met some of the nicest people through my blog. Good stitching friends are so giving, it just amazes me.

Recently, I have heard from 2 of these wonderful ladies.

Vicky sent me a very thoughtful RAK. She says she follows my blog and picked approriate things for me.



She picked some "purple" thread and a cross stitch magazine that has just what I love in it.

Yup...Peacocks! Love them! Thank you Vicky!




I also received a RAK from Lenna.



Isn't this beautiful? It is Sew Peacock from iStitchaholic. As soon as I can find a frame, it will be hung in my bedroom. Lenna thanked me for my work on the Fair and Square blog and to cheer me up a bit about losing my job.Thank you Lenna!

I will be back tomorrow with my goal update. Where did July go?

Happy Stitching :)




SIDENOTE: I don't know why some of my pictures are going sideways. They are fine on my side. :/

Gifts Received

Over the past few weeks I have received several gifts in which I have been negligent in posting. I apologize for not being more timely on these.

First, I received this gorgeous fiber from Michele. Michele sent me some hand-dyed silk called "Winter Berry". It is beautiful. I will have to find something special to stitch with this. Thank you Michele!


Then, I received this beautiful tatted heart ornament from Cathy B. Her mother, who is 76 years young, made it. It is just gorgeous. My grandmother tatted and I do regret to this day not learning this beautiful art from her. Thank you Cathy!


And, today, I received a pattern from AmySC, that I think, was made just for me.


Can't wait to stitch this beauty up. I can use some of the lovely fibers I have received in exchanges. Thank you Amy!

I will be back again soon with exchanges to share.
