Bunny Button Sampler and an exchange received

This was such a joy to stitch. I just love the way it turned out and the colors are just awesome and of course the design is adorable! I substituted wooden buttons in the corners. It called for the brass bunnies, but I really didn't want to use them.

Fibers: DMC, WDW & GAST

I received a MOST lovely scissors keeper for the scissors keeper exchange from Marie today. It's beautifully stitched and finished and will be cherished always :) Thank you so much Marie-we are going through so much here and I have been so preoccupied with all that is going on that I forgot I would be receiving something and it REALLY did make today a better day :) Thank you again my friend, it's simply GORGEOUS!




Thank you friends and readers for visiting with me. I appreciate it so very much. My apologies for not getting by your blogs yet...I hope to do so soon-I just have not been spending any time online-I have devoted all my free time to stitching and cleaning-two things I do MUCH of when stressed.
hugs and love and wishes for a great holiday weekend from SC,

Becky that bunny sampler is just TERIFFIC! I wonder, are those the recommended fibers? Beautiful work, as always.

I know what you mean about digging in with the cleaning. I have been spending less time online trying to get things in order, and stitching more too! I certainly don't mind if you're not too active in the blog-visiting dept., just as long as you take a moment to show your work here I'm happy! Sometimes, as interesting as it may be to see what others are into, you've got all you can handle with what you're already handling!

Thanks again for sharing, friend!

P.S. it's great that you were able to be surprised by your scissors keeper coming in. :)

I haven't been by for a couple of weeks because I've been so busy. It was such a joy and blessing to sit at my computer tonight and see all your beautiful stitching projects. There is something so peaceful about looking at all your gorgeous stitching. Thank you for sharing. You have no idea how much you brighten my day.

God bless you - Julie
