I had alot of fun this weekend putting this little needleroll project into motion...
A while back a fellow stitching friend gave me this wonderful kit that Elegant Stitch had put out as a fundraiser for Breast Cancer Awareness... When I saw the cute button enclosed, I knew it would have to be my February stitch pink item for my pink basket... I even got to use my newly learned hemstitching technique on the edges.....
From the Heart...

The tiny detail button was just too perfect....
And here is my new needleroll residing in my pink basket...
Several of you have emailed me about the latest with Barbara, my friend who has breast cancer... I am happy to let you know that she has had her last chemo treatment as of last week... I have purposely not been with her in person because I just felt like since I work in a primary school setting, I could be the carrier of germs which I certainly would never forgive myself should I have shared them with her.. But I have been in contact with her and her spirits are very good and she is such a fighter.... Just continue to keep her in your prayers please.... We all know how the power of prayer is helping!
***Hello Barbara, We love you!!**
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
And, I was able to devote a little bit of time to my new love, Quaker Sampling II.. Thanks for all the wonderful comments about my selection of thread, Blue Lagoon by Belle Soie... I felt like it was a winner when I put it next to the Weeks Straw 35 ct linen....
a smidge of progress......
Hard to believe it will be March as of Tuesday!!! The kiddos in the classroom will be feeling a little spring fever this week as it is supposed to really be warm...Gotta love that!!! I have been so inspired by so many of you who have already started setting out their spring decorations...Bunnies, painted eggs, and the likes have really gotton me to thinking it just might be time for me to take down my "red" tree in the craftroom and re-dress it with my springtime ornies.....
~~~Have a great weekend everyone~~~
