Thoughts and exchanges and a top finished

If the bus doesn't come.....
catch a fast cloud.

I reached for a needle this morning while at my sewing table.....and touched this pin which made me think of this shoe bell and then of course the boy it belonged to......
The baby is my son Eric and these treasures were his. I keep the diaper pin attached to my sewing machine cover...always in sight. How does one end up with only one pin and shoe bell when there were two??!! I was able to keep track of him with the bell on his shoes. And the diaper pin....you know where that went. He was 3 months old in the picture.......yes, he is going to be the dad of Devin. I am so grateful for memories......

Elisa received my Summer Exchange piece....
It is BBD Summer Iris and stitched on suggested linen and threads. It travelled all the way to York UK rather quickly. I plan to make this one for myself soon.
I finished the Tulip Box Top....
Well almost.....
I think I will add a small motif next to my initial as it took up less space than the A that Alma stitched on the original. Maybe the date?
Well guess that is it for now.....off to work today. I am so pleased you had the time to visit with me. Thank you for all your comments and emails. Any opinion on what to add next to my G? Have a good day.

Summer Exchange received!

If night falls.....use stars for street lights.

What a pleasant package arrived for me yesterday....
It's my Summer Exchange from Laura. It is a lovely bag that she made and the stiched front is a pocket! Thank you Laura. My package goes in the mail today...can't tell you who...what ...where.....not yet.
I worked a little on Sunflower Humbug....

I thought I would have the stitching finished...but watched movies and relaxed with Mr H. We kept it a lazy day...much needed mentally. I did stitch on my Nosegay piece. Would you like to see how far I got...follow me to my other place.....
thank you for spending time with me. I appreciate your comments and emails....have a wonderful day.
