I am soooo far behind in my blog reading, but I am working my way through all the wonderful blogs that I so love to visit. I am not leaving messages on all, but know that at some point I will drop in.
My yard is looking pretty good - have been trying to get out there in the mornings a few days a week, need to take the camera out with me one of these times - but have to wait until daughter comes home from her vacation - she took my good camera and left me my good little instamatic!
Just two shots of my 'Wild Berry' strawberry pincushions from BBD Joyeux Noel book.
These were gifts - look how cute the packaging is - I picked the bags up at Michael's way long ago - it is a Martha Stewart product. It is a clear cellophane bag with pretty cardboard insert with holes punched at the top and then when filled a ribbon fits into the top to secure.
Since July is my 'Christmas in July' stitching month (actually anything holiday) I am working on Wiches Hollow by The Primitive Needle and would like to get Tis the Season done, but I am thinking that would be wishful thinking. I will continue to stitch Holiday things til December.Have some exciting news that I will share with you all hopefully tomorrow when I find out if everything falls into place!!! I won something!!!
Have a great day everyone and thank you for stopping by - I appreciate it --- Roberta

Roberta,
I so enjoyed reading your blog! Your strawberries are wonderful! Also loved seeing your pics of your trip! My DH and I went on the Silver Needle Med Cruise in June and saw some of the same sites you did.......was fun to see places I recognized! Wasn't it amazing to actually see, for instance, The Pieta, in person? I never thought in a million yrs I'd see some of those things. We didn't get to Paris, would love to go there sometime!

Your strawberries are gorgeous Roberta! Beautiful stitching and finishing, and I love the bags!
Is there such a thing as being caught up?

And what a pretty photo's of your vacation. I have to go to Italy once..
Your strawberries are gorgeous!
I'm never caught up...because just when everything is complete, it's time to start over again ;)
Being caught up? What is that?? LOL.
Those strawberries are so pretty.
Those strawberries are so lovely Roberta!
Beautiful stitching and finishing as always. They will look so special packaged that way.
Wonderful news that you won the door prize of two exclusive classes.
Lucky you! Enjoy - you deserve it.
