Hello to all~~~ I keep reading about lots of you who are getting the kiddos ready to return to school....It IS that time of year! Although we began our 6th week of school today on the Year Round schedule at our school... In about 3 weeks we will be getting ready to pause for a 3 wk break..ahhh..
*****
I was able to celebrate with a couple stitching buds this past weekend by visiting the new and relocated location of LoneStar Mercantile...What a feast of wools, cross stitching and everything prim....I will have more about this unique and plentiful store in the future...
I was able to gift to dear Linda a set of pouches out of the last of my BlueBerry Crumbcake fabric...I love the medium blue family and she was thrilled to have a new set of project pouches to stuff with newly kitted projects...
Happy Birthday Sister Linda!!~~

I can't believe your year round school has been in session that long already. I could have sworn you just said school had started. lol! I bet you're looking forward to a break!
You've done a great job with all the finishes!

I think Hannah is pretty darn wonderful! Great ideas for finishing and you can't beat that Blueberry Crumbcake fabric.

Your stitching is great Faye. But your finishes are awesome.
Linda
Love what you created for April! You are very talented in the finishing arena! Hannah is looking lovely!

All your finishing looks beautiful, of course.
I'm glad you posted about Lone Star. I had no idea they were moving, and I would have been terribly sad to make a special trip out to the fairgrounds sometime next month only to discover that they were gone!
You are becoming a finishing queen! I just love the ideas of your finishes...such an inspiration and motivating!!
Your finishing is terrific, and so is Hannah!
All of those projects look just great!

Adorable finishes Faye!! Love that blueberry crumbcake fabric! Your sampler, Hannah, is coming along beautifully! Interesting that you go back to school for a month then have a break! I wonder what year round school will look like here in BC?! I kind of like the idea of a number of small breaks throughout the year!
