A new start..a finish and more...lots of pictures....

There are lots of pictures in this post. Let me start by saying that I started and finished a piece this week!!!!! Actually I started it on the 29th of April and finished on the 4th of May. I meant to post the start separately but here they both are and the finish . It is supposed to be finished as a pinkeep and came with all of the supplies to do it. Oh and it's name is Pink Dress from Mary Kathryn at ehandcrafts. It was a joy to work on!!!

I never did post my framed Shepard's Bush so here is Fear Not .

We did really well in our bowling league this year coming in 4th!!!! I took my winnings and got some really cool things. First up is a necklace that I had on layaway since a little while after my surgery sort of my gift to myself for having the surgery and coming out strong......the picture isn't that great. I love it!!!! and next is a pair scissors that I've had my eye on for a few months.......Sajou scissors!!!! They are shaped like the Eiffel Tower and are so incredibly sharp!!!! drumroll please....... aren't they lovely!

Yes I have still more to post..... I posted that I won a contest on the Mirabilia Stitchers board and I received my prize from Sparklies last week hand dyed fabric and threads.... and . I have to say that Kate from Sparklies was wonderful and so very nice. I have plans for the thread! My first ever Little House Needleworks designs..... and They are monochromatic designs and I'm deciding on the fabric tomorrow I have it narrowed down to 2 or 3 pieces including my Silkweaver FOTM from this month. So much to do. And with any luck my HAED will be in tomorrow at my LNS ....so a new start is in my future and oh wait I have fabric for Fairy Moon as well!!! I'm rambling so I'll end here and getting myself a cup of tea and stitch for a while!

I am grateful for choice in my life..........
