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!

Edgar.....You Da Man!

Hello Friends,
I received my spring exchange from Edgar today!  As you can see from the pictures he spoiled me with lots of spring goodies and a lovely stitched piece mounted on a painted box.  I absolutely love it all!  Thanks so much Edgar! 

Take a look.....

Keep on stitchin'

Better Late Than Never

As many (or all) of you know, I've had a very rough few months at the end of 2011.  It was all I could do to get through the holidays.  I just keep reminding myself "One Day at a Time".  That having been said, things are beginning to look up and I'm trying to keep a positive attitude about 2012.

I've finally begun to catch up with the normal routine again.  So, without further delay, here is a picture of the wonderful package that my 2011 partner, Diane (Nan) sent me:

It was so wonderful to have Diane as my partner.  She was so very kind and generous.  Thank you again Diane......from the bottom of my heart.

Package Received

I received my package from Diane while I was away for the holidays.  I haven't had the chance to get into it yet, but I just wanted everyone to know it arrived safely.

I'll be back to post pictures later in the week.

Thank you Diane!

Faye~ YOU ROCK!

I think we can all agree THE Carolina Stitcher ROCKS!  I have enjoyed receiving Faye's packages this year.  I'm just sorry that this year has come to an end.  Thank you so much Faye!

I realized when I came to this blog to post about the package I received today that I didn't post the Autumn exchange.  Boy, do I feel like a fool.  So sorry Faye, the exchange I received in the Autumn round was FAB!

Faye and I at the Pals Fall Fling in October. 

Faye personally delivered my exchange in Myrtle Beach.

Look at this GORGEOUS hand-stained box she labored over.

The containers inside were also hand-stained. 

Inside the containers were finishing trinkets and lots of pretties.

The Winter Round

I received this package in the mail today.

Once again, Faye out does herself. 

In the package:  a cute primitive Christmas pillow, a huge piece of linen, a mother of pearl thread winder, multi colored jingle bells, a notepad, the cutest-est zipper pouch, and 3 foil Christmas cut outs.

Faye~I've thoroughly enjoyed your exchanges this year and will cherish the pieces you've stitched.....ALWAYS!

Merry Christmas,

Diane

"Fall"ing in Love

Thanks Bunches Miss Faye!!!!!

My Exchange arrived from Faye!!!!
Look at the cutie cute cute Ladybug Ladybug piece she stitched.  I love ladybugs!  Notice the cute ladybut button on the bottom right.  As always Faye your work is a delight for the eyes.  Plus she included lots of  wonderful "Summer" goodies. 

You know how to spoil a girl Faye!

Thanks again,

Diane

Spring is Here!

And blogger is finally cooperating.  I've been trying to show off my goodies for the last two days! 

Take a look at all the wonderful package that arrived from Nan/Diane........

She stitched up not one, but two beautiful Prairie Schooler designs.  And her finishes......well they are amazing in themselves.  Come, take a closer look!

These cute little guys are now hanging out on the fireplace mantle where the Christmas/Hanukkah Stockings usually hang.  I love the bit of Spring that they bring to the room. 

Oh, and by the way Diane, I manage to hide the chocolate from my Hubby and I was able to eat it before he found it. LOL!

Thanks again!  I'm really looking forward to June!

Thanks Bunches Faye!

Faye's Exchange Arrived Wednesday!

Me being the bone head that I am posted on my blog but forgot to post here.  Do you ever wonder where your mind is?  I think mine takes way too many "coffee" breaks.

So,

Without further ado.....feast your eyes on this wonderful exchange Faye sent. 

Faye stitched Tis Red by La D DA from the JCS ornament issue and finished it into a cutie patootie pincushion with the most unique trim.  She included some great goodies in the package.  A stitcher's journal with matching note cards, her favorite batting, finishing fabric and ribbon, fibers and organizer bags. 

Her "green" theme will be well used.  I appreciate all the time and effort you put into this exchange Faye!
