A Productive Weekend...

Brynwood Needleworks - Primitive Gatherings "New Beginning" Pincushion
 
 I've been busy.

I spent most of the weekend stitching. I completed this sweet pincushion from Primitive Gatherings. It's called "New Beginning". I chose a "redder" colored wool because this color is often seen on Wisconsin deer in the spring.

I filled this pincushion with crushed walnut shells. It's my favorite filler for pincushions because it's heavy and keeps the pincushion from scooching around my work table. (Yes "scooching" is a real word. lol)
 
Brynwood Needleworks - Wool Box - Dragonfly Dreams Block
 
This is the first block I completed from the Wool Box. The finished project is called "Dragonfly Dreams", but no one knows what it will look like when it's done.

This was the second block I completed. Don't you love the colors? I'm going to stick with the Wool Box subscription just so I can get more of these blocks!

 
On another note, I was contacted by MA yesterday, asking that I draw a new number for the third giveaway gift from the "Be My Valentine" Giveaway. She lives in Canada and asked that I give the gift to a domestic commenter instead. The new winner was chosen via Random.org, and the result is below. (Yes. I screencapped on the correct computer this time!)


Congratulations, Bonnie Biggers!!!

I already have your address, so you won't need to email it to me.
(Thanks again for your generosity, MA.)

Let's Dance...

Brynwood Needleworks - 2021 Primitive Gatherings Designs

Needle dancing, that is.
 
I'll be stitching with the Sewcial Sisters in Menasha today. I set up some of Lisa Bongean's designs from a recent Wool Box to work on. Now I wish I were still subscribed for future boxes! I have so many projects to do from the last two years of Wool Boxes, I decided to give someone else my spot. (Lisa limits the box subscriptions, so she always has a waiting list.)
 
I'll just have to wait longer to get the rest of the designs. I love the colors she's chosen for this line. 

I've completed the stitching on the Seaside Garden table mat, too. I'll share that one with you tomorrow. It really turned out pretty.


Now, if you don't know about it, there's still time to enter my "Be My Valentine" giveaway. Entries close at 11 pm Saturday evening. You can go to my giveaway post HERE to enter. (US and Canada only, please. I love my overseas friends, but I know you'll understand that the postage costs have skyrocketed, making it ridiculously expensive to ship anything. I'm so sorry.)

It looks like our deep freeze may be on its way out. We're expecting warmer weather for the rest of this week. (Don't get too excited. I think we'll still be under 30º F., but that's a lot better than -10º!!!) 
 
I'm praying for my friends in Texas who are experiencing both frigid temps and a grid failure. At least we have reliable heat and lights. Some people have moved out to their vehicles and are running them 10-11 hours at a time in an effort to stay warm. Please keep them in your thoughts, too.
