Hello Dear Friends: I have been very busy, I volunteer at the local food shelf here in Annandale, Mn.
We have many new clients which brakes my heart, many of them I know, we have cried when they see me I am the one they come to for the fresh items, they have told me they are so embarrassed, I tell them that if it were me on the other side of the barrier I am sure they would feel the same way sad but willing to help.
We are not able to come in contact with each other it is a very good system that the directors have come up with, I work with the best teams, from the couple who pick up food at the local grocery store to the guys who pick up at Target and Walmart, these are some amazing people.
There are only a hand full of us who are able to work, many of our volunteers have underlying health issues.
Now on to the thigs I have been doing, we redid the cabinets and vanities in the main bath, it is so fresh and pretty.
now some stitching, I did finish my Blue Ribbon Designs My Precious Treasures, I am not making the satin bag that is in the pattern, I want to put everything in a round shaker box.
This is the pin cushion I created, it was not a part of the design, I made a mistake so turned it into a pin cushion.
This is the inside of the needlebook, I did make a change here also, I wanted to put my own mark on this little design.
The inside of the box with the pin cushion, it was to have an my initials on there, I like the button better.
, This is the outside of the needlebook (not sure why it looks wrinkled, maybe because of the light.
This is the front side of the needlebook, again I used a pearl button, these buttons came from Hobby Lobby
One side of the scissor fob, I love how small it is, so dainty and small, I did my own twisted cord, I cannot believe how well it turned out, the last cord I made it looked like a mess.
This is the box top, I love this design so much, however this will be given to one of my nieces, that is one reason I do not put initials on some of my stitched deigns.

I did finish constructing my Class project from last August Needlework Guild Retreat.

I do have more to share but do not want to make this a day long read.
Please stay healthy, I read where the rate of domestics has risen, not just spouses but children with their parents and siblings, soon this will be in the past and we can get back to normal.
Blessings
Catherine
