Oh What a Beautiful Morning


Yes, it is another beautiful morning here in the Serial Starter home! I'm on Day 2 of English Bulldog Freedom and I'm enjoying every minute of it. This morning I spent time with my puppy without the slobbering and snorting from our unwanted house guest. I even had a cup of coffee while catching up on the final season of Desperate Housewives. What bliss!!


Anyway, here's a little bit of what I had intended on posting on Sunday evening:


I have been on the receiving end of three beautiful packages.  The first package came from Mouse.  I'm sure you remember, I talked about it here.  This is a quick snap of what she sent.


I also received my Fall "Friends Stitching Through the Seasons" exchange from Nan.  She really spoiled me this round with lots of lovelies.


I just love my new pincushion!  It's so fall!
My last package was a huge surprise. Some time ago I participate in a Blackbird Designs exchange where I was on the losing end. The person who had my name never fulfilled her side of the exchange and I was left empty handed. Well, Judy (the person I sent my exchange to) found out and she sent me the loveliest package to make up for my loss.



You should see Judy's finishing in person.  Her rouching is wonderful and I will be using what she did as a model for trying it myself.  I just hope that I can make mine half as beautiful as hers!

While it has been nice visiting with everyone this morning, I really have to get motivated.  I hope to have another wonderful morning to share with you tomorrow along with the rest of what I had intended to post.

Happy Stitching!

You received some beautiful goodies, I love the fall pincushion. Glad to hear you have some peace in the house with the bulldog gone. Its too bad he wasn't trained properly, they can be really good pets.
