Overdue Thankyou

Isn't this the most lovely piece ? It is a stitching tote my sweet stitching sister Teresa sent this to me last week and I had a hard time getting a decent photo. Dark when I leave for work and dark when I get home is getting old but I have noticed the light is beginning to hang a little later in the evening as I am driving home so there is hope of spring. 
Inside the pocket is a needle holder with lovely leaf pins, a pocket which had an acorn fob, a zipper pocket to hold project safe and sound and a pocket on the back to hold the pattern or notes. It is just amazing and so thoughtful. I wish you could all see the lovely detail in person. Then when she was at a LNS one day she found some 28ct spun silver which is my favorite fabric now discontinued. I will make something on it soon. Just love the feel of it in my hand. Thanks my friend is just not enough to say. 
Linen and lace progress or un-progress as the case may be... The left side of the border is off by a few threads so it has to come out. Yep the entire left lace border... Just love the frog.I'm ready to fry it up for frog legs for lunch! 


Next week offers a work assignment out of town. I accepted it because of a LNS in the town next door. I am, if nothing else, a woman with proper since of priority. I cannot share the location with you all until I return but I promise to take lots of photos and maybe a few stash treats.I can promise you will all wish you were there as a way to tease you a bit. It is hard to believe I have been blogging for a year next month. I think a 1st blog anniversary give away will be in order.  


Thanks for stopping by,
Pam

  4. The tote is lovely, you must have been over the moon to receive it. I'm sorry that Mr Frog decided to visit, hopefully he will be on his way soon. Enjoy your work assignment and visit to the LNS, I really wish we had LNS like you do over the pond, there's nothing like being able to actually see things in person.
