Two new finishes and exchange pictures.


I have two finishes and a big happy dance.  I have been working on these pieces feels like forever.  The above sampler I started last year and it is a part of the WIP Challenge that I am a part of.  I almost put it back in the pile.  I am glad I didn't.  It feels good to get the darn thing done.  I had a head cold forever.  Finally got some antibiotics and I was feeling better but when I was almost done I broke out in hives all over.  Needless to say I did not want to stitch for quite a while. But now I am stitching like a storm now. 

I also was in a couple of exchanges.  My partners have recieved their pieces so I can show you.  I did not take a picture of my seasonal exchange  :(


This is my exhange from the seasonal one.  It is so cute.  A scissors fob that included a pair of scissors.  Wow.  It came in a pretty pink bag and she sent a card too.  Kathy always sends great exhanges.

This one is from the Lizzie Kate exchange.  Very very cute.  I love it.  Bonnie did a great job.  I love how she finished this.  Bright colors and even a carrot.  It will fit in well with the rest of my bunnies.

This is the piece that I sent to Bonnie for the Lizzie Kate exchange.  She said she liked it.  I am glad she did. 

Summer is here in Wisconsin.   Near 90s here.  We might not get a spring.

What pretty exchanges! Both giving and receiving. I really like the Prairie Schooler bunny fob that you got! Your Simple Joys finish makes me want to start mine. I picked up some of the threads I needed yesterday, but they were missing a couple. Probably a good thing, cuz I have other projects to finish before I start that one!

Your finishes are fabulous! I love the second one, Simple Joys.

I'm sorry to hear you aren't feeling well. I hope the antibiotics helped and you are on the mend.

I love my exchange piece and am glad you like yours.

Your exchanges look great!

Congrats on your finishes, too.
