Goodies! I have goodies!!!!

Last week was a super busy week, and though I wish I could say I stitched a lot, it's just not the way it went.... oh well! Yesterday was a good day though, several friends came to stitch with me and we had a great time! Nicole brought me a gift she knew I'd go nuts over - look!! First, she tied it with lovely red ribbon....
And she is too smart... she knew I was drooling on my keyboard looking at her post about her quilt shopping & apparently she had been thinking about me beforehand. I am a total fabric-a-holic & LOVE fabrics/fat quarters and she picked out some cute ones didn't she? I already have something picked out to use the one with the trees on & she agreed that it would be perfect... maybe I'll get to it soon & I can show you! :-) And if you don't have a "Purple Thang", they are great, they really do work! Thanks again Nicole, it was very sweet of you to think of me & I appreciate it very much!

Next up, when the mail came, and I saw the return address on the envelope, I KNEW I was in for a real treat! I'm in a Christmas Ornament Exchange Group & this time Marie P had my name (woooohoooo!) and lookie here.... first, the packaging (adorable!) yes, those are tiny Christmas lights!

And it's M Designs "Joy Tree" stitched over one & finished into a stunning ornament! I ADORE it!

And here is the back. Don't you love that fabric?

Thank you again Marie, it's GORGEOUS & I do love it! :-)

The gals yesterday did get me motivated to stitch a bit, which I'm going to get to very shortly. First I have to get my ornament packaged & ready to put in tomorrow's mail! :-)

I hope to have some finishes to show you by this time next week! :-)

Thanks for stopping by & Happy Stitching!
