Some Super Mail .... and New Pidges

GR&DF thank again for the kind words about my snaps and adventures in Baghdad By the Bay. It is fun to do things out of our routine - I think it is just the getting up the gumption to do them that is half the battle -

Yesterday brought mail surprises..... where to start... I won a give away over on Sherry's Blog and the chart arrived yesterday - as you may have figured out I have a real weakness for samplers!!

It is a very traditional pattern that will be fun to do!! Thank you so much Sherry!!

The mail also brought my HOE Fall Needle Roll from Laurence.
It is a real darling and so delicate -

The chart is from Bent Creek - and the stitching is 1/1. Laurence also included a beautiful pottery French heart. She mailed this while on vacation in Germany and the PC included is from Oberammergau - a small village in the mountains that is famous for the Passion Play they have performed every decade since 1634. I have been to this little place and remember it fondly as very picturesque as are all the hamlets tucked into the Alps. Thank you so much Laurence!!

I also got a couple of charts to add to my SABLE stash pile...

I'm telling you I just cant resist them!! Now with all the new things coming out they are just wrecking me as I know I will have to have some of that also!!! I am just weak - weak I tell ya!!!!! My own stitching last night was on exchanges and RR things so no snaps.

We have some new Pidges - jeez does that Mama Stink Eye ever quit!! Here is a snap since the MSE hadn't moved off of them since they popped out of the egg -

Once again these cuties are just as vulture like as the other Chickie's.....

There you go sports fans - short and sweet - Remember that there are only 4 more days to sign up for the Birthday Drawing - to sign up click over to this POST. Have a great One!!!

Take care,
edgar

  3. Oh what fun -- love all the stash and prize and all. :D And new little pidges! Unbelievable! It's really interesting to know how often one mother pidgeon can have babies. Who knew! As for market -- I have absolutely no restraint! lol! Which is really bad!

  5. I think you should re-name Ms. Stink Eye to Ms. Michele Duggar Stink Eye.

    (Did you see that she is expecting baby number 19?)

    (Holey Schmoley, I can't seem to manage one Spinster and a dog...)

    (Get off 'er, Jim Bob!)

  11. Very nice stash! Amazing Midge the Pidge (aka Mama Stinky Eye) had more pidges. She's a very busy pigeon that's for sure. :-)Thanks for the pics of the new pidges.
