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!!!

 I don't know where to start or how to thank you Becky, but I love, love everything. You are a special person and friend Becky!!

Candle mats!

I have been so busy and stressed beyond stress lately. Two of my BF's (sisters), lost their brother unexpectantly this week and I have been worried sick over my son's accident. He is improving everyday, he is very tired, but I told him that is normal, due to the trama his body has went through, and I have got called into work all week. Woo,





 I have missed my blogging friends, here is just a few candle mats I have recently made. Thank you for praying for my son, continue to pray that he won't have any complications. Love you, Lecia

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.



 Keri sure spoiled me rotten, I love everything so much, Keri was an awesome swap partner, please check out her blog. She has a wonderful blog, with lots of  tutorials. Thanks you Keri, it was so much fun!!!
