MORE SNOW!!!

This is what I woke up to yesterday.....more snow......we got another 8 inches. Yikes, this winter just won't end.

Catherine of Bramblewood Stitches and I decided to do a Spring/Easter exchange and we opened our gifts yesterday. This is what things looked like before I started ripping paper. And here are the beautiful gifts she sent me. She sent a beautiful stitched piece and all these goodies. Here's a close up of what she stitched for me. I love it!
This is what I stitched for her. I sent along some goodies also that she said she liked.



This was my first exchange and I'm so glad I did it with Catherine since she was the first person to leave a comment on my blog when I started it.

Gosh, all that snow!! Almost like an April's Fool's joke, don't you think? Hopefully it will melt fast.

Wonderful exchange gifts both given and received. I really like the gifts you gave to each other.

I can't believe you are having more snow!!! Then again, someone did say never put away your winter clothes before Mother's Day~

8 inches of snow certainly does not sound like spring!

I know you folks up there think snow is pretty and all, but I bet it doesn't look so pretty in April. What a bummer !

Your exchanges are really wonderful - both stitched pieces are great!

So sorry to hear about the snow. We had a heatwave the last couple of days. Back to cool and windy today. Wonderful exchange with Catherine! Both pieces are so pretty!

Silkweaver changed their name? Guess it's been a while since I ordered, too!

Sorry about the Michaels; that's terrible! I've never used them...but I need to find a framer as mine is back in Ok!

Sheesh! Even if winter won't quit Spring still came to you in a box from your friend. Love it.

Catherine said...

What a lovely exchange! The stitching, both given and received, is lovely!

I'm so sorry you are still getting snow--winter won't leave us alone here either, but at least the snow seems to have gone (for now!).

Pumpkin said...

What a perfect exchange then! Lots of goodies :o) Your piece is very well done.

Ack! I hope that snow is gone by now...
