I am so loving my mailman these days, or mailwoman? I don't really see him or her, so I don't even know who delivers the mail. But look what he/she delivered to me from Annemarie ~ one of her wonderfully amazing floss fobs. This delightful fob is amazingly stitched with the tiniest of stitches. I am in awe of her stitching as I can barely see them, so I cannot imagine how she made them! She stitched our initials together on the back, and attached a skein of Gloriana silk in the prettiest of colours, called Autumn Arbor. Am I not incredibly lucky to receive such beautiful gifts from such amazing stitching friends!!!
I'm working at my finishing finishing of my PIF gifts, Monday/Tuesdays are always a wash-out for me because of work in the day and classes at night. Tonight daughter Carrie is bringing her Hallowe'en costume over for some fixing and added touches. The entire crew at the Cancer Centre are dressing up at pirates for Hallowe'en and she also has a party to go to this Saturday night. I hope to get these PIF's done and in the mail soon......I really want to get a couple of Christmas ornaments started.
On Friday, I'm taking the day off work to go to the Toronto Needlework Festival with my sister Karen. Of course there is absolutely nothing that I need, but when does that ever matter? I'm hoping to bring a little something back home with me. Its full of so much creative wonder ... cross stitching, quilting, knitting, scrapbooking.... it will take me the weekend to recover!

Oh, I love the thread keeper from Annemarie!!! I was wondering who she was stitching that for ;-) Lucky you!
That gift is stunning...such dainty stitches! And the Gloriana silk...lucky you! Hope Carrie has fun as a Pirate...make sure she knows about the parlay...in case she gets into difficulties!

Hi Wendy,
What a beautiful fob from Annemarie. I love the silk that she sent you. The colors are really pretty.
Have a wonderful time at the show this weekend and be sure to post a picture of all the great stash that you buy.
Hi Wendy!!
I was very happy with its message in my Blog!
I wait to see you there passing for more times.
Have a good weekend!
Kissis for Nisa( Brazil)!!
You are very lucky to receive such a beautiful gift! The floss fob is very pretty and so nicely stitched. This is only the second one of these I have seen, and I think they are such a clever idea. Enjoy!
Oooh Wendy you are so lucky! What a stunning gift to receive! I've seen Annemarie's stitcing on an RR and its just perfect!
What a gorgeous gift from Annemarie. She does such wonderful stitching!!!
Love all the other pretty stitching you've been making and receiving as well. There is so much to see that I'm having a hard time catching up.
Enjoyed seeing your PS. I just bought 'Pumpking Patch' last week but I guess mine will have to wait until next year.
Wendy, you are so lucky to be going to a NWF - have a great time. Looking forward to hearing all about it.
Wendy, what a lucky girl you are, receiving such gorgeous things from your mail "person." Perhaps if I got involved in more things, I would be the recipient of something other than junk mail and bills, lol!!! I love your PS stitching, and you're right... you can't go wrong with Prairie Schooler's classic designs. Beautiful job with the finish work too!
Thanks for the lovely visit, and have fun at the Needlework Festival!
What a sweet gift! Those floss fobs are darling.
What a sweet present from Annemarie! I hope your trip to the festival was wonderful!
