I have been remiss in publicly thanking some wonderfully generous stitchy friends out there. My apologies!
Vonna totally blew me away with her “cleaning” binge when she sent me not only several Brightneedle Mary Kirby designs, but also a number of small kits for Max to enjoy. Vonna, you’re such a sweetie – thank you! As Vonna knows, I have ‘big’ plans for the Mary Kirby designs … watch this space. 
And Sue very generously sent me Glad Tidings by Blackbird Designs. I’m thinking of doing this one for the upcoming BBD exchange. For anyone interested, this is a year-long exchange and although the first round is closed, there will be more. 
Thank you also to Cathy B.whose ‘care envelope’ included two fabulous La-D-Da freebies that I want to start stitching right now!
I recently won a long-wanted Brightneedle design from Riona - lucky me! Good for the Gander is a design that has been in and out of my shopping cart countless times, so I’m really very excited. Thank you, Riona!
And once again, thank you to the very kind stitching friends who’ve mentioned my blog for various awards. Because I’m never really comfortable in passing awards along to only a few blogs, I don’t always post the award itself on my blog. But I do really appreciate your kind thoughts! 
In closing, here are some pictures I snapped of the kids yesterday afternoon. I sent them to my Mom so we could enjoy a virtual cup of coffee together.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend!! Ours was supposed to be sunny, but the forecast got it wrong. Thank you all for your wonderful comments about my recent finishes.
