Kelly and Chris made the 13 hour drive to New York from North Carolina yesterday to visit with Chris' family. And of course mother that I am, I was very happy to get the phone call that they had arrived safely. I'm sure they are feeling very full right now after a big turkey dinner.
My Noah's Ark bellpull was finally completed and handed off to baby Scarlett the other day. My sister had a family lunch at her new house for all the 'girls' and it was a perfect chance for me to give my niece the baby gift I had made. Being a cross stitcher herself, she was very pleased and I was very relieved!
And I finished up all the sewing on the Christmas towels I had been working on. I made 8 in total and gave 5 of them as gifts to my sisters and cousins. So that leaves 3 left, one for me and Carrie and Kelly.
And I have to post this picture of Scarlett. She is just such a sweetheart with the biggest blue eyes ever. As you can see from the picture, Carrie really just didn't want to put her down!
Tonight is 4 Saisons night - I'm hoping to get a little more accomplished so I can show an update.
Oh wow, what a beauty she is!! The bellpull looks great and I really like the towels!

Scarlett looks like a real cutie Wendy :) Both the towels and your finished wall hanging are awesome :)
ReplyDeleteThe bellpull is wonderful, a real work of patience. I appreciate too the stitchers who have patience enough to stitch a serie of similar items to share around them. So congratulations for your masterpiece and for your towels. Nice idea. You may enjoy to visit my French/English site with my cross stitched works and French traditions.
