Think Spring!

Today we are getting snow, but in my mind I am thinking of Spring, of the birds singing and the grass getting green, the little baby calves and lambs hopping around in the fields and of beautiful flowers.


Here is a few pictures of my clematis' that I had last year.

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!!
