FRIENDSHIP

Progress update on BOAF, Friendship Sampler, April 11, 2011:

How can you put a Price Tag on a good friend

when they are made of pure gold? Is it even possible?

What is the value of a new suit?...$500.00

What is the value of a Rolex Watch..$2,000.00

What is the value of a College Education?...$50,000.00

Value of a New Home...$200,000.00

What is the value of a Friend?

Friends who listen,

Friends who care,

Friends who love you for who you are,

Friends will last a lifetime!

I would have to say......Priceless.......

In a nutshell, I am proud to say I have many, many friends, several of whom I have never met in person before but I value each and every one of YOU!

FRIENDSHIP

Happy Monday!!  Thought I would share a little snippet of the latest project I am working on.  This is a beautiful little sampler by Birds of a Feather called, "Friendship Sampler".  This will be a fun project since it is a "traveling" pattern that was passed on to me from my sweetest and dearest BFF  Loraine of Sew Be It!  You can see her finished version of it here.  I have chosen to stitch mine on 28ct (mystery) linen over one.  It is so tiny!!!  I am loving this little one and by looking at the stitching next to my little scissors it kind of puts it in perspective.  I have changed all the colors to my liking and when I am all finished I will list the colors I am using on it.

Next up is a little "scissor ornamentation" I stitched up for a Breast Cancer charity event that Pumpkin hosted. This is a freebie pattern from Lizzie Kate.  I stitched it on 30ct black evenweave over one using DMC threads.  The back is made from the same linen and pretty glass beads adorn the edges and french knots were made for the stamens on the center of the flower. 

I really enjoyed participating in this fabulous and worthy cause. There will be a silent auction on November 20th which is a Saturday where you can bid on some fabulous items that will benefit Breast Cancer Research.  It will be held in the evening from 6-8pm.  Please take a look on the event section at the Attic Needlework's web page for more information.

It's raining cats and dogs here....mixed with a little snow!!!  Stay warm and enjoy your stitching.

Smiles....
