Prairie Shelf Sitters and new bonnet!

I have been working alot, so I don't have too much time for crafting. I did get another bonnet made and have started a stitchery. But I did want to post pictures of two shelf sitter dolls that I have made for swaps and my new bonnet..



  I kinda made up the pattern for the shelf sitters myself, I was quite pleased with how they turned out. I was going to keep one for me, but seems like I don't keep my own things. He He

Swap Goodies from Becky!!!

  Becky http://primitivesnstitchin.blogspot.com/  and I did a swap on our own, I first met Becky when last year we participated in a textile swap that Char, Pickle Peppered Patch hosted. Becky was my first ever blogging swap partner.
We have since bonded and have become special friends.
 She really spoils me when we have swaps, her talent way out does mine, I think she swaps with me because she feels sorry for me. He He
 I told her she has just about redecorated my house.
What is in this awesome box????

A breadboard with grubby candles, love it!

Wonderful Spring Flowers!!!

Such a gorgeous candle mat, love the colors!!!

She is toooo good, a little pillow with my bonnets hanging on the line!!! I love it Becky!!!

And another one, pictures don't do justice, these are so special!!!

What a wonderful Spring pocket holder, look at the stitchery, bunny and peep. The cutest eggs are in the pocket!!! She is really spoiling me!!

She made me a little Lilly angel, in memory of my dog Lilly that passed away a few weeks ago. What a special way to honor Lilly, thank you Becky, I shed a couple tears, but happy tears!!
The cutest breadpan with Bunny and Eggs. Now I just love things like this, it is like Becky just knows what I like!!!

Swap goodies from The Calico Rabbit!!

First I want to thank all of my dear blogging friends for the awesome words of encouragement and prayers for my sons full recovery! I wish I could just give each of you a big hug. He continues to improve.
I Praise the Lord for this!!!! He could have been killed or the tree limb could have hit my grandson.

  I have been wanting to post pictures of the awesome swap goodies that I received from Keri, http://thecalicorabbit.blogspot.com/     Char  http://charsethman.blogspot.com/   hosted a spring swap, and Keri really spoiled  me. She gave me a Basil rabbit that she made, I saw him on her blog and was really wanting him sooooo bad, but didn't want to ask her. He He I think she knew that I did.
 She sent me a beautiful paddle board that she made, I love the color. A beautiful bird make-do, and Spring time pillow that she made, she does such awesome work. A rabbit cutter, so cute and beautiful kitchen towel.

Please pray for my son Luke

 Sunday eve. my son Luke was swinging in a swing that we had in one of our trees. The limb snapped  falling

 on his head.

 It was at least 12" around and 12 feet long. It knocked him unconscious and cut a big gash in his head.

 We called the squad, when he came too, he was very disoriented and  couldn't see.  The hospital did an

MRI and EKG and he received 12 staples. All tests came back good and he regained his sight and  became

orientated . I am so appreciative and thankful to the Lord for this!!!

Please pray that he doesn't have any complications from this accident and a full recovery.

 He is thirty years old, but he is still my baby. And he is the most wonderful dad, I am so proud of him.
