There's lots for me to catch up on. First, I will post the pictures of my beautiful bounty of mail love from Jenna-lou that I received in early october(eek!) I was the incredibly lucky winner of a birthday giveaway she had to celebrate her 2oth birthday (so young and soooo talented!). I have used this gorgeous wristlet many many many times over the past month. As a matter of fact, I pulled it out of the mailbox on my way out thrifting that Sat. morning and promptly transfered my stuff over!
Of course, she added some beautiful notecards!
Isn't it gorgeous! Thank you so much Jenna! I looooove it. I am so sorry it's taken me so long to show it off.
The next week, I was also the lucky recipient of a give-away from Fiona! Check out her generosity and loveliness that she sent me! Lots of pictures becuase she sent me so many gorgeous scraps!
Beatiful card, pin-on pincusion, which has been pinned onto my ironing board and is used everytime I sew! Thank you so much Fiona! I can't wait to show you what I'm using them on! More pictures of all this loveliness is here
My grandmother, celebrated her 83rd birthday the end of October. We had a big family party for her. Lots of fun...family we haven't seen in a while, kids playing and a low-country boil...yummy! I whipped her up a new purse, with a matching wristlet (thanks for the inspiration Jenna-lou!) and key fob. She was thrilled and seemed to love it!
We recently had a 12 hour blackout due to a falling tree, so it became the perfect time to teach Aidan and Lilianne their first embroidery lessons. Aidan picked right up on it and loves it! He finished his first project...
then quickly set about working on his second...
Lilianne, needed some assistance. She's only 4 so I wasn't surprised. But she is doing great at it! Great bonding time for us.
There is much more for me to blog about and show you, but I've got to get off my rump and go get some groceries!

Hi Brandy! I haven't seen you for a while! It was so nice you popped over to my blog for a little visit!
I love the goodies you won, but I have to say may very favorite is the little heart Lilianne is working on!

The bag you made for your grandmother is beautiful! The goodies you won were also great.
I love the bag! Still trying to perfect the wristlet!
Beautiful bag. And your kids are doing a wonderful job with the embroidery. It looks fantastic.
