Good Friends

and a new banner !
 I was so surprised to get 

this in the mail the other day.

 Yes, my dear sweet friend, 

Ivonne of The Crackling Crows 

gifted me

with another one of her wonderful

banners.  She thought it

appropriate since she says

I'm always creating.

I just love it!  Isn't it a beauty?

If you don't own one of Ivonne's

awesome banners already,

you'll have to check out her blog!  

I have it hanging in my studio 

on an antique quilt rack

where I keep some of my

favorite ticking.

Ivonne, I am so thankful to call you

my friend.  You are so sweet

and such a joy to have in my life.   

Girl, you know I love you,

right? : )

Thank you from the bottom of 

my ♥

~*~ ~*~ ~*~

And today I was so excited to be all

  caught up on things,

that I stitched some of 

the morning away.  

( My most favorite thing to do : )

I fell in love with this prim little design

when Lori at Notforgotten Farm

posted the freebie on her blog 

a little while ago.

This is what I've stitched so far.

 Hope to have it finished soon.

Happy Weekend all.

My New Banner

Hi, Just had to show you the new 

banner I got from my good friend

Ivonne of The Crackling Crows.

I am still in patriotic mode and 

just not ready to take down 

any of the red, white and blue

decor.

I asked her to make me one

of her wonderful 

"AMERICA" banners.

It just arrived in this mornings

mail and I hung it right up and

took some pics.

This is one of the 

places I love to display the

banners I have from her and I have

many.  It's in our entry way and the

hooks make it easy to change them

with the seasons.

The picture below is from Ivonne's 

blog.  Look how sweet even the 

backs are with the patriotic scrap

paper.  I just love the little details

she adds.

I'll be stitching away this weekend.

Always working on some new idea

that has popped into my head.

Once it comes to life, I'll be sure

to give you a peek.

Happy weekend!
