Here is the first Birthday gift I received this week.
I received a wonderful Birthday Exchange on Monday from Margit. She stitched this great Emergency Stitcher's Book. She also sent my two patterns from Rouge du Rhin. I think it might be my new favorite designer!
And of course the inside. Thank you so much Margit.
Then while I was in Chattanooga to see our new grand daughter the beginning of March, my hubby and I checked out an antique shop and I found this treasure. The base of a treadle sewing machine with a wonderful tray on the top. My hubby talked the shop down $15 and I justified the purchase as my early Birthday present!!!
Here is a picture of the tray. I thought this made a great display for all of my stitching smalls.
My birthday is not until Saturday but the celebrating has begun. As many of my close stitching friends know. I went out to dinner on Monday with some friends and then I received this exchange and of course on Friday my stitching buds will be here and then my friend Lori and I are going to get a massage on Saturday morning. I think those are pretty good plans, so far. Still have to make some plans with my family.
I also have some other blogging to catch up on but since I have been to Chattanooga I just can't seem to get all caught up. So my blogging has suffered. I am hoping to at least get back to blogging at least once a week.
Happy Stitching until next time.
