I have some of the most amazing friends! I was gifted this beautiful quilt by dear friend Dolly who adopted my Eema. It is in beautiful shape and is hand quilted. I absolutely love it.
Sweet Ann from 1803 Ohio Farm Baskets sent me this little basket to hold my scissors, rug hook, etc. I had asked her to send me some business cards because where ever I take my wool tote basket, people want to know where I got it. I never expected to get this wonderful basket. Lucky me!
Joanne sent me this fun pug to sew in to a pillow. Joanne, I promise I will do better with this than I have done with the feather tree kit you sent me (hanging my head in shame!).
For my birthday, hooker friend Melissa gave me this book (perfect) . . .
. . . and this Edyth O'Neill candle mat complete with wool. This will be a fun, quick hook!
In addition a couple of people very dear to me were extremely generous cash-wise to help defray the cost of my car repairs and new tires. PLUS . . . I was gifted Ellie's mom's almost new iPad. I am truly blessed by the friendship and generosity of so many people.
Jake and I had a good day at the indoor amusement park. He thought the mirrors were great fun. Tomorrow we are off to see the Croods :)
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs :)
Lauren
