I just had to share these... I received a lovely birthday gift yesterday from my Pal
Lisa. She made me a pretty pinkeep in my fav color and sent me a pair of Gingher Scissors. The pinkeep is pretty & one can
never have too many scisors OR pinkeeps! ;-) Thank you Lisa, I appreciate it so much!
And you have to see this absolutely ADORABLE pinkeep from
Melissa via the Make A Wish BB that arrived today! My wish was for a Valerie Pfeiffer bird finished in anyway the stitcher chose... well.... Melissa just went all out & stitched this
over one & finished it in a sweet little pinkeep. It is just precious and I love it, thank you Melissa! I think Ray is quite happy with it too actually! :-)
We both just love watching the birds. They have been eating lbs of bird seed around here and we have seen several bluebirds lately... hopefully they will nest in the bluebird boxes he built last year. Here is a pic of some of the hungry little birdies that have been hanging around so much lately. Aren't they pretty? We have seen quite a few cardinals & doves lately too. Can't wait until the hummingbirds are back!
Ray suggested I take yesterday afternoon off since it was my birthday, and he didn't have to twist my arm too terribly much for me to say yes! I started yet ANOTHER new design. I'll hopefully have enough stitched on it by tomorrow to share a pic or two. By the time I got the threads pulled (and yes, changed) & the linen cut, it was time for dinner. My sister & niece came over for awhile to visit before that & we just sat & talked. Anyway, I started the newest release by Erica Michael, "Serenity", but I'm doing it on linen & not the silk guaze that comes with the pattern. I have been looking for THE perfect Serenity pattern for a very long time... this one is as close as any I've ever seen. Pics coming soon... ;-) I also stitched a bit on Quaker Vitures on Wed night & an hour or so on Thursday. I'll post an update of that as well. I have several more things I want to start NOW... why can't we all just stitch 8-10 hours a day? lol
Have a great weekend & thanks for stopping by. Happy stitching!

Beautiful gifts, but I love those little birdies! Nice pics of the real ones, too. Aren't you ready for spring?!
A lovely lovely gift and beautiful birds.
We dont have anything as exotic as bluebirds lol, but the way things are going, our sparrows may be as exotic in a few years!
All the best!
What a wonderful pinkeep :) And your birthday gift is lovely as well :)
Enjoy!!
Enjoy your gorgeous pinkeeps!!! They're each lovely in their own way :)
The pinkeeps are adorable!!!!!
The birds are so nice... :))
And your gift is realy beautiful!
I love the little birdies, the ones at the feeding place and the ones on the pinkeep. What a wonderful gift for a bird lover.
And another lovely gift for a scissor lover.
Wonderful pinkeeps! You are sure to treasure them!
I'm so glad that you like the birds I chose. I had a great time stitching and finishing it for you. I hope you had a wonderful birthday!
That bird pinkeep has to be about the cutest things I've seen. They're so lifelike and adorable.
Your gifts and exchange are so great. I love the three birdies. You have a birdfeeder similar to my mom's. It's supposed to be a squirrel free feeder, but the little buggers hang upside down and force the seeds out!
Love your RAK idea.
Lovely gifts! The birdies are very cute!! I love the bird feeder pic. Happy Birthday!
I love it all!! The birthday gift is just precious and I love the pin keep! Lovely pictures of the birds!
Those Valerie Pfeiffer birds are just adorable - Melissa did a lovely job with the pinkeep.
We've had a bluebird or two here, first time I've ever seen them in real life.
I love the photo of the birds at the feeder. I too love watching them.
A very Happy Birthday. A little late but I do hope iot was a perfect day.
That bluebird pinkeep is awesome. Love it!
Those scissors are nice. I actually just got a great deal on Ebay for the little ones and the shears, I think that design is "Bianca".
