As soon as I saw this I knew I had just the right fabric to complement the design. I added a couple of old buttons and some matching trim from the dollar store to finish it off. I'm pretty happy with the results.
I'm now home recuperating from a knee replacement. I had a bit of a bad day yesterday but when I opened up yesterday's mail it brought a huge smile to my face.
This sweet little ditty was designed and made especially for me by my dear friend Nan who has been thinking of me during my recuperation. Isn't it gorgeous?! The fabrics are really lovely.She knows how much I love deer so she made sure there was one in the stitching and adding my initials was also special. It now sits on the table by my stitching chair, holding my scissors and spare floss.
Thank you so much Nan! I love it!!
I've had some new purchases arrive from my order following the Nashville needle market. I loved so many of the new designs and I will be starting on one of these in the very near future. You'll just have to wait to see which one!
I'm just starting to feel well enough to get back into my stitching since my surgery. I was uncomfortable at first and found it hard to settle down. Now I have several ideas of spring pieces that I want to get started at. I hope to have pictures of some new starts on my next post. Until then, Happy Spring!
Knee replacement…ouch! A friend of mine had that done and I know how painful that can be. However, once fully recovered from the surgery her knee was perfect! Wishing you a speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteYour "Lucky" pillow is wonderful, you did such a nice job.
Nan gift is amazing, I just love that!
Happy Spring!
ReplyDeleteA sweet Lucky finish. And a fantastic gift from your friend.
I am glad the knee is done. Hope you heal well and quick!
I didn't know you had surgery. Ouch. I suppose at least you could still stitch. The shamrock finish is so cute.
ReplyDeleteI love what your friend Nan sent you. It is absolutely gorgeous!
Get well soon!
What a sweet little finish! And perfect for the season, too.
ReplyDeleteYour gift is lovely, and I hope your knee feels better soon. (As I told my father - do your physical therapy...!!!)
Congratulations on your new knee! I hope you heal quickly and are back on your feet pain-free!
ReplyDeleteThe little organizer from Nan is adorable! I love having little gifts from friends sitting near...almost like having them there every time you see it.
What a gorgeous gift from Nan! I wish I could make things like that. Stitching friends really are the best.
ReplyDeleteI love your Lucky pillow, that fabric looks really old in a good way, and I'm not surprised you're pleased with it as it looks great!
