Some Thank Yous and the SAL begins!

Sage, Lil Sprout, and I received some fun calendars from our Splorin Wolfie friends. They want us to visit and I have to tell you, Nova Scotia seems like a little piece of Heaven on Earth. Thank you friends!


Yesterday I got a surprise package from Deborah at Fairfield House. Look at how beautifully wrapped the items were.


I adore these dog coasters and I better grab some tissues to read this book. (sniff, sniff) I've named the porcelain dog, Reagan.


She also included a music CD full of songs about family, a cross stitch book, and fun Susan Branch calendar for my kitchen. I spent quite a while reading through it. Thank you Deborah!


In other news, I received the first patterns from the 'My Garden Journal' series. I rushed to my fabric stash and decided to start right away! I'm beginning with February's flower. I have decided to stitch this on 28 count Monaco fabric in the color 'Golden Promise', dyed by Sassys Fabbys.

So..the SAL begins but you can join in at any time! Click here to go to the blog if you want to follow along.  AND...If you want to contribute posts to the SAL please email me and I can add you as an author.
