Hi friends! I can finally share with you the gift that I made
Jacquie for her birthday. I had to borrow the picture from Jacquie's blog, as I forgot to take one.
Yes, I gave her two teas that I like and I made her some counting pins. But this would be the first card that I have ever stitched. I received the kit to make this Margaret Sherry 'Birthday Bunny' card from our friend
Lee last year. This is also the first Margaret Sherry design I have ever stitched up. SO adorable. Had a hard time letting go actually. Sweet, sweet, sweet. I am happy to say that Jacquie was quite pleased with her surprise birthday gift. =)
I made up this little magnet very quickly. Miss Madeleine even helped in it's construction.
I used this
cute, little pattern. I sometimes warm the oven up just the tiniest bit, and then place bread dough in there to rise. Well, the different medications I take for pain sometimes dull my memory. I have forgotten more than once to check inside the oven, before heating it up for dinner, and OOPS! So I got to thinking that this simple bread magnet placed over the display panel on the oven would remind me of my bread dough. ;)
I had spied over the last few months these adorable, teeny, tiny wooden spools on Carol's and June's blogs. I just knew I needed some. Got me some. ;) Guess I am kinda weird, because this is the first thing I made with one.
I used a scrap of 25ct white linen and DMC to make Mabel and Henry. =) What am I gonna do with this 1/2 inch creation? Who the heck knows?! But it's cute!!!
Be back soon with a Shepherd's Bush Patriotic finish and I will give away the pattern too. :)
Stitching and praying,
Vickie

That spool is so pretty - you could include it in a fob by threading it on a piece of cord with some beads and charms?
The tiny spool is an adorable piece of art! And the bread magnet is a great idea and cute as can be!

You stitch such cute things! That bunny is sweet and that tiny little spool is beyond cute! Your flowers are beautiful ~ wish I had your green thumb. :)
I love your little spool! Oh my gosh - how adorable! I haven't been able to do any stitching...boohoo. I'm just too sick from the meds right now and also hurt my wrist from pushing the meds into my IV. I know, ridiculous, but true. I can't wait to pick up my needle again!
Blessings - Julie

That spool is ADORABLE!!! It would certainly make the loveliest ornament for the tree (or for display), especially if you could get your hands on some poodle beads for embellishment. Like this: http://kbatsel.blogspot.com/2011/03/wooden-spool-ornament.html
Great idea with the bread magnet. I hope it helps you. :)
CUTE little thread spool.
Tiny things are always the cutest!!! :))))
Lovely gift, no wonder June was so happy :)
Sorry my iPad 'corrected' Jacquie to June!!
