I Have Been Stitching And A Beautiful Gift

Hello to all my followers: I want to thank-you all for your continued following and comments, for some reason Blogger is giving many of us a problem since they changed something in the European Blogger World.
Welcome to all my new followers,  I am so sorry I have not sent out thank-you's to all that have commented, I will get to it soon.

I received a beautiful gift from Gracie over at http://needlespinsanddragonflies.blogspot.com please stop over and see what Gracie has going, she is a very talented Lady.
She sent me some beauties. So sorry about the photo not being the best, it has been cloudy and rainy off and on. Aren't they beautiful, Thank-you Gracie I love them.



I have been stitching I finished the needleroll and started on the box top for my Jeannette Douglas class project, I finished it on Monday night, I did a big happy dance, I am working on the cube now, I think I may enter this set in the County Fair, if I do well enough at the Fair I will enter it into the State Fair.


                                                                From Here To Here


I made many bracelets for my cousins shop yesterday, I was so busy, I enjoyed a different pace of day.



I love the leather bracelets they are so simple but so pretty.


The beaded bracelets are simple and looked better on then off, they were suppose to have button closers, I find they do not last long when taken off and on so a lobster claw closer is better.
So as I was taking photos today of the bracelets I had a brain storm, I have all these old vintage pins, (I have more then this) I want to make them into bracelets, I hope they turn out okay.
 
 
Her is a photo of the first deck board going down over the old deck boards.
 

We have a 52 foot deck on the back of the house, this is a long big job, at least I can stitch, I asked Mike if I could help, he said do you want me to stitch on your project? nope I will stitch instead of helping you, I think I made a good choice.

 
It is 09:30 time for a cuppa joe and some serious stitching.
Have a pleasant day.
 
Catherine

Love the gifts you received, so cute! When is your county fair? I bet you will win! I love the bracelets you've been making, especially the one with the leather band. You've been really busy. I guess you got your blog problems worked out? That is so frustrating. I've been reading about other bloggers who can't comment on other blogs, but it's part of that European privacy thing.

My Stitching Box is so neat Catherine. Go for it with the Fairs! I entered the State Fair several years ago and got ribbons!!! You just never know. :D

I've seen the wide leather cuff bracelets with old brooches and other vintage items. Some were attached to a different piece of leather and then sewn to the cuff. They were cool! I like your husband's response!

Glad you liked my gift....just a little something for your kindness. Your leather bracelets are wonderful and they should completely sell out!

Loe the new bracelets you made. The leather ones look great and I look forward to seeing how you incorporate the pins into them. What a nice deck! I bet it is a beautiful place to sit and enjoy that cuppa joe in the morning. Love your "My Stitching Box" piece.

Oh, your bracelets and pins are lovely, Catherine! It must be nice to be multi-talented when it comes to crafting. All I can do is stitch :) Beautiful stitching as always and your new deck is coming along nicely! Enjoy your stitching times outside :)

Nice post. I be taught one thing more difficult on totally different blogs everyday. It can at all times be stimulating to read content material from different writers and apply slightly something from their store. I’d want to use some with the content on my blog whether you don’t mind. Natually I’ll give you a hyperlink on your web blog. Thanks for sharing. online casino slots
