Some Exchanges Received

I know, I know I've been a bad blogger ~hanging head in shame~
I've been in a weird mood all Summer and really don't feel like being on my computer. I really haven't been doing much else either for that matter. Well except for walking on my treadmill everyday ;) I've lost 20 lbs since the middle of June! I am up to 1 mile & 1/2 in 30 minutes. My goal for August is 2 miles. Im actually at the point where I am enjoying it. I put in my ear buds and have my iphone and get in "the zone". I have a terrible singing voice but when I am in the zone I sing like no one is listening lol My son said he can't wait to go back to school LOL

 I have some exchanges I have received since the last time I posted. I feel bad that it has taken me this long to take the pictures of them and post them on my blog. But all the senders did hear from me Thanking Them :) I received beautiful treasures!

First up is From The Stitched With Love Exchange and April was my partner. April sent me this wonderful BBD stocking (I LOVE these stockings) and all of the wonderful goodies you see in the picture! I LOVE everything April! Thanks so much!

The next 2 are from the HOE perpetual Ornament Exchange.

First up is the wonderful Ornament I received from Becky K. The round was for any design by BBD. Becky stitched The House on Holly Hill" for me out of their Peppermint & Holly book. She used 28ct vintage smokey white cashel and the WDW & DMC threads called for in the design. She used wire for the hanger and bent it up a little. It looks so cool!!
Thank You for this wonderful treasure Becky!! I always LOVE what you stitch for me :)

I received this one today from Carol S For the Bird Round which was the round before the BBD one. Apparently my partner turned out to be a flake and never sent my exchange nor acknowledged  receiving the one from her partner. Funny thing is this woman is blogging daily about other stitching....sigh
 So Carol was an Angel and stitched this adorable ornament for me. It is called "Noel" by Balades et Broderies par Carmela. Carol used 32ct Smokey Pearl Belfast and CC floss. I LOVE how she finished it. Carol also sent me a few little goodies which I forgot to add in the picture.   I cannot Thank You enough for this little treasure Carol and for righting someone else's wrong.


Lastly but certainly not least is the exchange I received from Lisa V for the Stitching Between Friends Group. Our theme was birds so Lisa stitched this cutie by Aliola whcih she said is an online freebie. She used lilac linen and GAST & CC threads and finished it off as a tin topper! Lisa knows  that purple is my favorite color! I love love love this my friend!! Thank You so VERY Much!!




So those are the recent exchanges I have received! I love each and every one of them!
I will post what I have sent tomorrow.

I hope you are all enjoying your summer so far!
Thanks so much for stopping by! I truly appreciate it :)

Great to hear from you Lisa.
Love all your little exchange pieces you received.
I'm soo happy you liked your tin topper too.
Had to laugh at the singing on the treadmill, I'm sure if that was my son he would say the same about me, infact he always says "Mum, are you crying?" cheeky bugger!!
Gotta laugh!
Hugs

Very sweet exchanges you received!! Love the purple tin too :D

Becky K in OK said...

Your exchanges are great. Sorry you got the "flake" stitcher too. I've experienced the same from another stitcher. It's not fun. Still loving your bird ornament. I have it hanging where I can see it from my stitching chair.

Oh Lisa, this is a wonderful display of exchnage gifts that you received lately. Must have been a delight to open the envelopes, lol. Sorry to read about the diappointment with the sticther who didn't send anything. It's a pity that these things still happen. Fortunately there are such wonderful people like Carol. Enjoy all your goodies.
