A Finished finish and a mail surprise!

First, I debated on how to get the heart fabric in this frame and finish appropriately, so I

decided to just frame it in this black oval frame with glass, without fabric. There was

adequate space between the glass and the fabric backing for buttons, so I sewed on some of

my favorite small red buttons where the black was stitched.

I haven't decided where it will reside. This is a freebie at Primitive Betty's website/blog.

Either in this bedroom with a tulip quilt.

On the dining room table.

Or on this black shelf.






It was hard to get a closeup without a glare on this glass.

Then I opened the mail and got this today!!! What a wonderful surprise from Parsley!

How clever of you to remember I like Sweet Pea from Bath and Bodyworks!!!!

Love it!

And you are so welcome about cross stitching. I hope you find it a great source of happiness!

Thanks so much for the sweet gift and you can bet I will be using this tomorrow!!!!!!!

Right now I have the hand cream and its got shea butter in it which really helps my hands and

has the Sweet Pea fragrance. I love the fragrance so much but haven't got any, so now I do!!!

Cool!

I still need to pick a name for the DMC bag. I will be doing that soon.

It stopped snowing about as quick as it started here. But we have a dangerous coating of ice on everything.

After 5 days of staying in, I start to get Cabin Fever, but I'd rather stay in than drive in the icey roads.

Well, Miss Abbie has been barking alot tonight and howling if you can only imagine from a 2 pound dog. This may, just may, have to do with a drink of Dr. Pepper I had in a cup and put on the floor by my stitching chair.

She runs in front of the sliding glass door and barks at her reflection thinking it's another dog just like her! LOL Her growl sounds like a cat purring loud.

She must love Dr. Pepper because I use Dr. Pepper Lipsmacker and she loves it.

Till later....
