A special gift from Venezuela

Such wonderful gifts from Nela. I ' m speechless...The photos just don't do justice to the real thing!!!

No words could express the beauty of what Nela had sent me. A beaded fob handmade by Nela including a lovely hardanger ornie she embroidered with a Victoria's Sampler design complete with dragonfly charms. Never knew that this was for me when I was reading her blog in her March 1st entry. I was told the T-shirt was hand painted and that made it very special indeed.


Thank you Nela from the bottom of my heart. Kisses and hugs from me.

HH HHHGGGHHH HH



LOL! Thanks Emily

I've never stitched twice for an exchange but do stitch for the 2nd time with the intention of doing one for myself and always ended up without finishing it once done. Bad habit huh?

BJ ~ Nah! actually that pincushion helps to hide my sewing flaws...LOL, since I don't sew with the machine, only hand stitch, it conveniently hides everything ugly inside ..looks can be deceiving you know ;)

Yep! found my charm, have since stitched the charm where it belongs, no way am losing it the 2nd time! :D

Thank you everyone for dropping by and leaving me your comments. Appreciate it very much :D Your lovely comments have been inspirational. Have a good weekend everyone :D...its 'Cheng Beng's weekend ' here.....something similar to All Souls Day!
