And, some good news via my e-mail ... I'm next in line for the traveling pattern,

Bent Creek's (The Littles) Bunny.   

It is coming from Annie - you can see what she did

with her stitched bunny HERE.    You may recall the pattern from

Lee's blog -- her post Much Traveled Bunny.   

I'll post when I have it stitched + I understand

there are two more stitchers in line for the pattern.   

Enjoy the day - stitch well.

Around the corner .....

Red cups at Starbuck's and

holiday stamps at the Post Office ....

Yep, right around the corner.

Honey Bunny said "Do Not Disturb" without

making a sound.

Good excuse to post pone the laundry until later today.

This is what happens when they have chicken for breakfast.

Visitors from MN ....

All last week, I was looking forward to the

week-end ... I met the delightful CathyB

(With Needle + Thread Blog)

and her Mom, Marlene.

Cathy + I have been blogging friends for several years and I was over-the-moon when she let me know there was a possibility to get together in Indiana!

We met at House of Stitches in LaPorte + enjoyed talking, shopping, 

and enhancing our stash ; )     Marlene and I had a tatting good time..   

Cathy has a lovely post on her blog w/photos ...

did I mention Ruth Ann from C Street Samplerworks 

was also there?    Cathy is the President of The C Street Fan Club!!!!!

Cathy gifted me with a tatted tarlet --- 

Isn't the tatted tartlet cute?   Thx so much!!!!

(Tatting by Marlene + finishing by Cathy)

I picked up Anna Brambles Sampler

and a beautiful wooden box for scissors + needles

 (DJV design needs to be stitched and mounted)

Until next time .....

I'm looking forward to The Giving Quilt by Jennifer Chiaverini, the next

novel in the Elm Creek Quilt series.

Look for it Oct 30th!!!
