Happy Easter




 
Have you seen these adorable little Chocolate Bunnies?

Marian over at "Seams to be Sew", gave us all a wonderful little Easter surprise.
These little guys are just "sew" darn cute.


My little ones are a new table runner.

You can get yours right HERE.
"Sew" what are you going to make with yours?
Make sure you tell Marian, just how much you appreciate her!
;-)

Have a very blessed Easter...
and remember some bunny loves you!

Tea for Two Blog Hop

      Tea for two...just me and you, and you, and you...

And none of it would be possible, without the talents of Cori
from Chitter Chatter Designs. 
Thanks Cori, for such a versatile and fun design.

And then there is Ms Mary...
The best cheerleader on the block.
She kept us organized and updated.
We couldn't have done it without you Mary!

None would be possible without our fearless leader Madame Samm.
Her inspiration and motivation is like none other!


Tea for two sounds so elegant doesn't it?
Unless of course you live in the MooseStash.
Not much elegance going on around here!
 It's more like bulls in a china shop...
;-)

 And what about that ole saying...
Can't make a silk scarf from a sows ear???


OK, so they aren't silk scarves, but stocking will do!

:-)

All this embroidery is pretty new to me... 
and they say practice makes perfect.
While I have yet to reach that perfection stage...
I do think its improving.
Baby steps they say...baby steps!
:-)


I have found that printing off my patterns onto a
 dissoluble stabilizer, is the only way to go, for me.


I get mine from Marathon. (it's linked for you)
Half the price for twice the product.
I prefer the rolls over the sheets. I can cut off what I need instead 
having to waste an entire sheet if my project is small.
Once it's stitched, you just soak it in water and it all goes away, anyway.
Who knows, if you spent a little or a lot on that stabilizer!
:-)
I'm toying with trying it on a cross stitch project next!
Wouldn't it be great, if you didn't have to count all those little stitches!
You never know until you try...

 Wrapping this up...
The reality of life around here, looks a lot like this...


And in the MooseStash...


This is our tea of choice.
If you love the taste of black licorice like I do...
That's no April foolin'
:-)
Now hop on over and see what's brewing at my fellow bloggers place!


April 1st

 Happy Hoppin!

Have a Latte Blog Hop Schedule...and a sneaky peak!



 Yes, it's almost here...
I know you have been long awaiting, our Have A Latte Blog Hop. I can tell you the wait is just about over, and our bloggers are working away on some highly caffeinated projects to share.
Can't wait to see you there!
;-)

Here's our schedule.


In the mean time, I've been doing some pattern testing...
I can't share just yet...
But these colors sure have chased away those winter blues.

Tree Bird Blog Hop

It always makes me just a little bit sad, when another one of our wonderful blog hops comes to an end.
We've seen so many wonderful projects...inspiration abounds, and our dreams of spring are finally starting to come thru, in many places.
Thanks to Lana for stepping in and being a fabulous cheerleader.
When you hear those birds tweet tweeting... know they are thanking you too!
Madame Samm, it's always a pleasure. You inspire and motivate us daily.

Here's my last little Tree Bird project.
It was send off to Kim in a mug rug swap!
Bye-bye tweet birds!


I promised a give-a-way...

This cute little panel of mini prints!
And a few secrets too...


Today random.org has picked #72.
Evelyn that is you!
;-)
I've sent you an email for your mailing address.
Your package will be coming thru the post office, as my carrier pigeon, just doesn't "seam" to have a grasp on his job just yet!  LOL!!!

Thank you all for your continued support, inspiration, and kind words!
You make this blogging community what it is today.
Your the best!

:-)
Keep on stitchin!

National Quilting Day

... What better day to share a mug rug swap, than National Quilting Day.
Quilting...swaps...blogging...it brings us all together! Now that's what its all about.

Birdy is the theme this time.
This adorable little guy from Kim, just shouts...springtime.
We all need a little of that in our lives here in the USA.
                              It's been a particularly tough winter on many.
These little guys definitely will drive those "blues" away!
:-)
Yes, we were all just waiting for spring to appear...

Here is what I sent off to Kim!
 The little panel print is from the Tree Bird blog hop. 
Have you been following that the past week?
Loads of great projects to celebrate birds and keep spring time in our hearts.
Thanks Kim, for the great swap!
