A Finish and a Lovely Surprise :)

 First for my finish -

I finished this little freebie that I was working on. 

"Village et Moutons" from gazette94.blogspot.com

I stitched it on Natural 28ct linen over 2 threads.

Naturally I changed ALL the colors :)

I also changed the 2nd little house because

it just wasn't symmetrical.

Yes.....I know I have issues.

But I do like the way it turned out.

I listed it in my etsy shop this afternoon :)

 I finished it with some vintage buttons and lace

and used blue and red Homespun fabric for the pillow.

And now for my Surprise -

On Friday I was blessed to spend the day 

with Cherise of Sewingly Along.

We became friends through blogging

and this was our first "face to face" meeting!

She drove down to my neck of the woods

and we went shopping at Needlepoints,Ltd

and then M & L yardage (of course).

After our shopping, we came back to my house for lunch.

She was such a good sport to eat everything

I made (even with my food allergies)

She was a lovely guest!

Look what she made for me!

Even that little strawberry card is stitched by her!

 Can you see the beading on those strawberries?

This pillow just makes me happy!

I am a very lucky girl indeed :)
