Surprise

To be honest, I had no intention of posting today. That is, until I went to the mail box and saw a package with a familiar return address! Not knowing what it could be, I hurriedly opened it to find this:







Everything about the packaging is just lovely. Love the sweet little note paper and Faye's beautiful handwriting!!! Seems that a short while ago, I sent Karen a pattern that I had finished. Being the generous person that she is, she contacted Faye and asked her to send me:


Oh my gosh, this is just the cutest little pouch. The inside is as darling as the outside! And that charm!!!!










 I'm really touched by Karen's unexpected kindness!!! How fortunate I am to have such wonderful people in my life. Now I have the perfect holder for the fabulous scissors my friend, Brenda gifted me with. I can't tell you how appreciative I am for all of your wonderful gifts!!!
 

 


Just want to leave you with a work in progress. With thy Needle & Thread's Peter and Peep.  I'm having the best time stitching this design. It is just too cute!!




All my best,
Linda
