My Spring Arrival!

My Spring exchange goodie box arrived from my partner, Diane! It arrived a couple of weeks ago, and I owe you an apology, Diane, for not posting about it sooner. My FIL passed away on St. Patrick's Day, and I was preoccupied with all of that and left town to help my MIL. I am finally getting back to stitching this week, though =]

Diane sent me an awesome box of goodies, and put a smile on my face when I really needed it. She stitched me a really cute pillow. I don't know the designer, but I had seen it on someone's blog and knew I had to find the pattern to stitch... and now I don't! Diane also sent a cute sheep box, 40ct fabric (love the colors), cute polka dot scissors, buttons, ribbon, handtowel, and the cutest chickie, which goes well standing next to my LK chicks rule

Here are a couple of pics:

I love everything! I can't thank you enough, Diane! You've brightened my start to a wonderful Spring!

Jen - My favorite designer is BBD, other designers SB, LHN, CCN, LK, Homespun Elegance and Bent Creek. I really like just about anything. I have really grown fond of quakers and samplers. Overdyed anything but have become a "silk snob" who prefers to stitch on 40ct fabric with a 28 petite needle. All goodies are welcome including scissors. :) Like to collect mermaids and beach themed items. Dislike religious themes, neon colors and Halloween.

Edgar - My likes - BBD, SB, CCH, LHN - and similar designers. I also like Samplers, Quaker, Shaker, Americana, the Four Seasons, Sheep and Primitive things. Colours I Like are usually Muted and Earthy - I usually do not care for the neon of overly bright glow in the dark colours. I love the Fall and Winter Time - especially Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. I love the look of Over Dyed Linen and Floss, especially Belle Soie silks. Not very fond of Cartoon Characters, wizards, dragons and the "cutesy." I like to stitch on just about every count but prefer to stitch on 36ct using a JJ 28 gold Petite needle.
