One turtle, two turtles, three turtles, more

Ok, so some of you know I like turtles. I’ve been taking some photos of turtle log (well that’s what I call it) when I walk past it each morning. Thought I would share.

Hehe, ok, not more turtles. But very cute.  I have been trying to get a photo of one of the little ducky families for a while now.  Here are the babies.  They were smaller than a tennis ball.

Halloween Exchange from Nancy

Friday, November 9th, 2007

Well I got home today and here waiting for me was a lovely gift from Nancy. Yep, the halloween exchange from Nancy had arrived. And man, was I spoiled!

Didn’t I score! I’m really looking forward to using those gorgeous threads and fabric. Now, the stiching was only done in a week. How? I’m thinking Nancy is another octopus. Here is a close-up of her beautiful stitching.

I love the cats sooo much, and I really needed a needle book, how did she guess? Here is a pic of the other side of the scissor fob and the inside of the needle book.

Thank you Nancy! I love it all

Craft Fair 2007

Friday, November 9th, 2007

Well Vicky and I went off to the craft show last month and I came home with all sorts of goodies. Much of it I can’t show as it is for gifts and such but here are some pretty pics of all that I came home with.

First of all here is a cool little quilt package and bits that I got (buttons, etc). Some fabric for finishing and my first q-snaps.

And then I got lots of threads. A stack of Carrie’s threads and some gorgeous blue linen from Stitches and Spice and some dinky dye silks.
