HOE Prairie Schooler & A return Crazy Exchange!!

Carol sent me this cute little return crazy exchange.
Isn't he adorable? I hung him in my living room with
all my other little Halloweeny things. She does such nice
work. The finishing is just amazing. Click on photo for a
close up of the tiny gold seed beads around the edges.

Batty Jack scissor fob
Design from JCS October 2008

Here are the rest of the goodies she sent me.
I love the marbled scissors! One can never have
enough of those. And chocolate soap-
how did she know I am a chocoholic. It smells good
enough to eat! Thanks again carol!

Here is the HOE Prairie Schooler exchange I sent to

Leigh. I had such a hard time deciding what to stitch

for her.

I finally decided on "Night Owl" from JCS

October 2008. This is one of my favorites

from that issue.

Stitched on 32 ct Irish cream linen (I think),

with dmc threads.

And the rest of the exchange, complete with a

handmade Halloween zipper bag (made by me),

perfect to carry around her Halloween stitching!

I'm so glad she liked what I sent.

Thanks for stopping by! Until next time....

Some things I've been meaning to share...

I can't believe it's been almost 6 weeks since my last
post. Wow-time does fly. Between getting ready for
my craft fairs and then my FIL having a heart attack-
there just wasn't any time left in the day to post. I hope
to change that.
Anyway, first up is the Crazy exchange that I sent to
Carol. I decided on a fall design as opposed to a Halloween
one, that way she could display it until December. Not that
I don't love Halloween-because I do!

*LK's "welcome fall" from the "Autumn Things" leaflet
*Stitched on 28 ct. summer khaki linen
*I used sampler threads & WDW floss. The lettering is WDW's
holiday collection -"Indian summer". I love it!
*Made into a small wall hanging/banner.

Here's the entire exchange that I sent her. I'm so glad she likes

what I made.
