Another Round Robin, Gifts, and Ramblings...

This is my second Neighborhood Round Robin. I used EEF's Red House Sampler as a starting point and added a border from BOAF My Betrothed Sampler. I am really happy with how it turned out. I was going for something very different from the other round robin I am doing.

I received the most gorgoeus scissor fob from Nicole for guessing which piece she had started. I also recieved a surprise from Georgie in the mail. She sent me Plum Street Sampler's Stories to Live By: Adam. I love it when the mailwoman brings me good mail :-).

This is our 4 legged child, Shelby. We jokingly call the guest room Shelby's room and you can see why :-). It's her favorite place to hang out. She's the sweetest dog, we love her dearly.

My DH and I are flying to St. Louis tomorrow for a week of relaxing and visiting family. We haven't had this much time together for a few months so I am looking forward to it. He has to work a tiny bit but we should still have lots of free time. We will also be attending my class reunion while we are there. I hope everyone has a great weekend with lots of stitching time!
