Today I got a surprise package from my dear friend in stitches Angela.
She sent me this lovely box by Des Histoires a Broder. It´s wonderful stitched one over one and perfectly finished!! I really love it.

Just I received this Sampler Tote Bag. Isn´t it nice to carry my love for Samplers now with me :-)!!
Or maybe I´ll use it to store my actual WIPs.

Here you can see a picture of the original sampler. http://www.geocities.com/shootstmx/
Here´s my progress on Mystery IX by Chatelaine. I wasn´t really happy with the first part, so I totally fell behind. I didn´t know if I really want to stitch a vegetable garden. But now when the first patches are to stitch, I really love how it comes along. So I´ll try to catch up. Hope this will work.

For my "one ornament a month" goal I stitched and finished this Bunnies by Prairie Schooler. I think that´s a nice decoration for Easter time.

Now the Easter week is starting, so my daughter and I decorated our Easter Tree. I don´t know if this is usually in every country ?? But here almost in every home there is such an Easter Tree.
Over the years I collected a wide range of hand painted and other hand crafted eggs. And it´s always a nice decoration for Easter.



Here´s a progress picture of my Catherine Agnes by Indigo Rose. I finished all the spots and now I only have to stitch on the last three corners and I have to do the cutwork. So hopefully this will become an April finish. I´m only a little anxiously about the cutwork, I´ll leave it till the end. I really hate to cut into my stitching :-), so please, wish me luck that this will work well!!

Today I got a wonderful package from Laurie, she was my exchange partner for the Sampler rabbit exchange. She stitched for me a wonderful bellpull by Little House Needlwork and sent some extra goodies.
I really love them. The bellpull perfectly fits into my bedroom and immediately I hang it close to my bed. Now I can enjoy it every day when I wake up.


I just got the message that my stitching for the Sampler Rabbit Exchange at the Legacy BB board arrived at Melanie, so I may post pictures.
I stitched a part of the Bunny Sampler by Threads Through Time and mounted it at the center of a Thread Keeper. It´s stitched in tent stitch with Vikki Clayton silks on 32 count linen.

And here´s a close up of the stitching. In the alphabete I added a little house by Bright Needle.
