Next, I had a package from Joan in our Fair and Square Exchange....She knows me all too well with this darling LHN piece~ I have the perfect fabric I am going to use on this one Joan...Thanks again for being my exchange partner!! I absolutely love what you made for me~~
And my dear friend Anglea from England sent me the nicest surprise~~~ It is a lavendar filled sachet with my initial on it....Done is RED no less~~~ AND, some of the prettiest ribbons for my embellishments.... Your wonderful surprise has truly blown me away Angela~~~ Thanks so very much for thinking of me~~~ I love it~~
Lastly, here is a poorly made snapshot of my completed block of SoHRH....I took it last night at the beach under no so good lighting conditions and it really tells.... I probably shouldnt post such a shabby shot, but wanted you to see my progress......I have fallen in love with this larger piece and know have 5 out of 12 blocks done...............
So, that is it for today....I have a mound of mail, MUCH cleaning to do (I live with all men in the household!!!) and not much food in the frig..... Guess you can tell what I will be doing the next couple days~~~~ But it sure was nice of them to let me sneak away for a couple weeks....Some me, myself and I time........

It's nice to come home to surprises like that in the mail. Your stitching is coming along beautifully.
Wow Faye - how special is it to come home from holidays and find something special waiting for us (apart from family of course!) The pieces are beautiful and I love your finished square too! We are fairly blessed in this stitching world to have made such lovely friends with such a delightful common interest! Glad you enjoyed the break - sometimes we just deserve these things and this time to ourselves. Enjoy your day and your chores!! xx
So glad you are back Faye. It was so nice to come home to goodies from good friends!
I feel your pain about living with all men....I only live with ONE and I've got my hands full lemme tell ya!
What a lucky girl! Your packages are beautiful. The progress picture is great. It's looking beautiful. Glad you had a nice vacation! Me, myself, and I time is very important!
How fun to have such great mail waiting for you! And wonderful stitching, too!!
Gorgeous! My favorites are the bird from Myra (aren't the little details wonderful?) and your Shores progress. I think the pic looks just fine. :)
So lucky to have such wonderful friends! Don't worry about your pic - we love to see what you are stitching. Good luck with your cleaning and baking!

Glad you're back Faye and hope you had restful "away time." Your treats are lovely. Such a nice surprise to come home to...in addition to your boys! The little bird from Myra is adorable..She's a sweetheart. I love LHN,too. The initial sachet is darling.
You are making great progress on Shores
Glad you liked my choice for the Fair and Square. I really enjoyed stitching it for you.
Wow! Your Shores block looks great. I am glad you like my little birdy and your squares and the little sachet are gorgeous. Good for you to be able to get 2 weeks of "recharging" time just before the cold weather sets in. Enjoy the chores and grocery shopping! :o)
What lovely treats you received from friends! Love your SoHRH -- that's one of my favorite blocks on that one! Hope settling in back home isn't too difficult -- welcome home!
Awesome goodies!
Welcome back! I live in a house of men too. I love every second of it! No drama and mostly good times. Only 1 is messy.
What wonderful welcome home surprises! Your SoHRH looks fantastic. What fabric are you using? There is absolutely nothing wrong with your picture.
What fun things Faye--and an encouragement with the progess on your larger project...just a few more stitches to go.
Wow! What great friends you have to gift you with all that beautiful stitchy goodness!! Your progress on SoHRH looks great!!!
I'm glad that you're back safe and sound. :) What lovely stuff to come home to (not the food shopping, laundry, etc.! ;))-- beautiful stuff made by loving friends. Lovely progress on your Shores, too! It is such a fun design.
What fun mail to come back to!
Lovely progress on Shores.
What lovely gifts! 5 blocks complete, that's great! I really love this piece
All men here, too, Faye, so I know exactly what your life is like!! Luckily, my dear husband is EXTREMELY neat!! I'm sure you felt very special coming home to such wonderful gifts--glad your two weeks away was so relaxing :)
Oh, Myra's little crow is perfect for your tree! And enjoy that sachet...I love lavender sachets!
