I considered this past Thursday and Friday to be my weekend since I worked the real weekend. I made some good progress on my BAP for Becky's challenge. I'm liking this more and more. I'm not sure I'm going to have enough floss, however. I'm using a single strand but these Kreinik skeins seem very small.
Does anyone out there have past experience with them? I bought what the chart called for but it just doesn't look like enough.
On Saturday I got a surprise package in the mail from my Secret Stitcher.
Here's the lovely Valentine's card.
Look at the beautiful hanging pillow that was made for me. I was almost in tears when I opened it, it's so pretty. It's hanging between the two pillows of the month that I hang on my kitchen shelf. My DH was standing next to me when I opened it and even he was impressed.
The back has a pocket.
A Quaker pinkeep is attached to the back but I can pin it on something else as it has a pin backing on it. Thank you, thank you to my Secret Stitcher. I LOVE it. You make my heart happy.
Mary Kathryn from eHandcrafts Stitching Room sent me the rest of my order and I got it yesterday. I've been in the mood to sew and this looks like a cute little project to add to my list.
Love this little chart. I can see some buttons in the middle of the flowers instead of stitches.
Before I forget, hop on over to Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe: Lets do it again with another GRAND give-away!
All for now. Hope you have a great day.

Wonderful gifts and stash!
I think the thread coverage looks good, but if you're not happy with it, change it now. Or let it sit a bit and see what you think. I've learned from personal eperience that it's best to change at the beginning!
That Buddy is too cute--love the pics of him and beloved Clark on your blog.
Oh wow, that pretty little pillow is a real stunner. The finishing is fabulous!
I love how yur four-sided stitch alphabet is turning out and those colors are so pretty! I love browns and blues together (I am thinking BBD Blueberry Crumbcake.. LOL)
