Round Robin, Exchanges and Chat...

This is my stitching on Jane's round robin. Her theme is Halloween, Autumn. I am really happy with how it turned out. I used Shepherd's Bush Happy Haunting, Brightneedle's Ghoulies and Ghosties and a tree from Rosewood Manor's A Forest Grew.

I received the most gorgeous bellpull from Myrna for the USEBB For the Birds exchange. I just love it! She also sent along some other bits and pieces, thread, beads, birdie post-its and linen.

Finally I received this PIF from Heather. It's so cute and I love pumpkins :-). She also sent an adorable Mill Hill kit with it.

I feel badly it took me so long to post the exchange and PIF pictures. Getting my wisdom teeth out wasn't fun and has put me a bit behind the past couple weeks. We are getting ready to take another trip, we leave tomorrow morning for Virginia. My DH has to go there on business and since my FIL and his wife live there I decided to tag along :-). It should be a fun week, we are going to try and go to Busch Gardens in Williamsburg and I will get to visit Dying to Stitch. I love getting to see the ocean too. We lived there for several years and it's so beautiful. Thank you so much for taking the time to read and comment on my blog. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Exchanges and More Exchanges

I received a gorgeous pinkeep from Cathy as a part of the USEBB Summer House exchange. It's a piece by a French designer. She also sent along SB Glory Scissor Fob and some really cool Stitcher's Name Plates by La-D-Da.

I sent to Nancy for the Summer House exchange and I stitched BBD Pink House over one and finished it as a scissor fob. I just love the BBD designs, they are so sweet.

I also participated in the USEBB For the Birds exchange. I stitched for Shelleen and I know she's received it so I have posted a picture. I stitched Drawn Thread's Four Fat Friends for her and finished it as a cube.

Our trip to St. Louis was really good, we got to spend lots of time with family and attend my class reunion. It was fun to reconnect with people I knew in high school. I must say though it's nice to be home. We had a long travel day on Sunday, we opted to give up our seats on our flight and take a later one so we could get too free tickets. You have to love overbooked airplanes :-).

I haven't stitched nearly as much as I'd like but my goal is to change that this month. I hope I will have lots to show. Thank you to everyone who takes the time to read and comment on my blog, I so appreciate it. Have a great week.
