Stitch's Showcase

Howdy do blogging world!! Hope all of you are about to embark on a wonderful Easter weekend full of fun and family. :) If you noticed the title of this blog and the bad pun I did, it will probably explain my week. LOL It has been hectic to say the least. I haven't quite been running around like a chicken with it's head cut off..but close. What has been so hectic? Simple..mail art. I joined my first Mail Art exchange and thought it would be easy to do. I was wrong..LOL It's not that it's difficult, it's just that my partner's favorite color is red..so I've been going blind slowly with so much red. I can't put up a pic of it yet as she hasn't recieved it..but I will when she gets it. Just to give you a taste, it was done on Oatmeal Fiddlers Aida using DMC 75 which is a red varigated thread. That's all you get for now! LOL

I did recieve a BEAUTIFUL mail art envelope from my dear friend Nona! Isn't it cute!!?? She knows me too well as she stitched Newton's Law on it. I love that teddy bear!! Err..at least I think he's a teddy bear! She did a great job on it!



This is the front of it! It was done on what looks to be a hand-dyed fabric of light blues and pinks. The two little ladybug buttons have elastic that wraps around them to hold it shut. I had to blur out the addresses for privacy of course, but they were stitched in the patented Newton's Law font. :)



Here's the back of it with Newton! Isn't he cute!?!?! I love it!!! :) In the inside of the envelope, was a lovely card and a kit. The kit was a chinese symbol that says Good Fortune...Definately going to be yet another WIP for me soon! LOLOLOL


I'll answer the SBQ and the Booking Through Thursday questions tomorrow. I have a stitchy date tomorrow with my good friend R. LOL We haven't seen each other in two months I believe...*gasp* it's hard to believe it's been that long. We were going to do lunch as well, but the place that we usually go to is closed tomorrow for the Easter holidays. :( Boo! Oh well, at least I get some stitchy time in. Have no idea what I"m going to take yet...LOL I'll figure that out here in a few...

Have a great day! Happy Easter!!

*HUGS*
