Needle Dancing (Again)...

Fairy Steed Corgi and One Wooly Strawberry Pincushions

 

My giveaway winners chose their gifts, and I finished making all three yesterday. The Fairy Steed Corgi Pincushion is heading to Lesley in the United Kingdom; a One Wooly Strawberry Pincushion is heading to Linny in Australia; and Danice chose a Wooly Strawberry Pincushion, too, which will ship to her in Alabama.

Thanks to Lesley and Linny for offering to receive theirs unfilled to save on shipping costs. I sincerely appreciate that gift from each of you. Danice chose lavender buds for her filling, and my studio was filled with its heavenly scent all afternoon.

All your gifts will post today, and I'll send each of you whatever tracking information I receive from the post office.

I've got a few cork projects next up (Thanks for your patience, Sherry!), and then I'm going to work on my Wooly Critters this weekend. I really need to add a small, comfy chair to the studio for days spent stitching. 

 

Happy Friday!

Blog Anniversary Month...

  March is the anniversary month for Brynwood Needleworks' blog. 2018 marks my NINTH Anniversary of writing my (almost) daily posts.   Since I first began sharing my creative life with you I have written 3246 blog posts and there have been almost  1 million views.  Not bad, considering I conceived my blog to be a joyful journal that only I would read.  

You've left messages for me on so many beautiful days, and helped me over the sad ones, too. Only once did I miss writing every day. That was when I took a week off to grieve Fezzik's passing, and then, you completely overwhelmed me with your love and support. Over 100 messages were left on that one post alone. I was speechless, and ever so grateful for your outpouring and shared grief. Thank you again for that.

We've shared lots of events, projects and musings together, so I'd like to do a little something to return the favor.
