Lynne's cow

Below you will see the cow I did in cross stitch for the Stitching Fingers Cross Stitch RR. It belongs to Lynne Meehan. I sure hope she likes it.

I love surprises, but...

I love surprises, don't mistake that. But I would love to know who sent the 2 envelopes I have received in the past couple of weeks. I got the most beautiful block in an envelope with my return address on it, and a cryptic note on the back that said "enjoy". I have an idea who sent it, but am not sure. So just in case the reader is reading this, Thank You. I just love the colors and the layout. I have some ideas for how to work it, and then will post on my blog site.

I just got another envelope in todays mail. It has a return address of Patricia Thompson in Florida. I don't think I know the lady, but she sent me some lovely threads. I just wish I knew what kind of threads they are. But, never the less, I really appreciate them. They are beautiful colors and I will put them to good use.
