Happy Mail!

Hello dear friends!  I hope all of you are safe from the storms that swept across our country yesterday and I pray for those who lost so much.  We had heavy rain and winds here but that was about it.

This week's mail brought a wonderful surprise from Miss Becky.  :o) 

Needless to say I was absolutely thrilled when I saw these old bobbins, that wonderful oil can, and the frog!  I have so many ideas swirling around in my head with uses/finished for them I can't decide just yet what to do with them.  Right now I am enjoying looking at them and imagining all the hands that touched them throughout the years.  Thank you Becky for making my week extra special!

I have been spending most of my spare time at the sewing machine.  It seems I have found another use for my little birds.

 I painted, distressed, and waxed a paper mache box - glued on a bit of trim - and found the perfect resting place for another bird.  :o)

 I mounted some Blueberry Crumb Cake fabric inside the top and bottom of the box too.

I think this might make a nice giveaway sometime in the near future.

I have been visiting your blogs as time allows but I am mostly using my Kindle Fire to keep up.  I am not very good at touch screen typing and apologize for not always leaving a comment.  You are all such an inpiration to me with your gorgeous stitching and finishing.

I am currently doing some sewing that I will offer for sale in the near future.  Birds and Stitchers Tote A Longs are on the agenda for tomorrow and I hope to have pictures to show soon.

Enjoy your weekend my friends!  Thank you for stopping by - I really appreciate each and every one of you.
