ATC Reveal...

 

 

Sherry let me know she received her Artist Trading Card (ATC) from me last weekend, so now I can share our cards with you. I love the card I received, and it's so wonderful that she stitched the heart and then added ruching to her card. Isn't it fun?

 

I stitched mine for her, too. Once the roses and wheat embroidery were complete, I added a vintage heart-shaped button to it. I had Sherry in mind when I stitched it, so I hope she finds it as special for her as I think she is to me.

 

I'm working on my second ATC that will be going to MA in Canada as soon as it's mounted and signed. I'm planning to complete it today and then it will be on its way to her.

 

If anyone else would like to trade ATCs with me, just send me an email at dliljegren(at)brynwoodneedleworks(dot)com. I'd love to trade with everyone who contacts me. So, I'm going to have a cup of coffee with Handsome and then I'll complete the next ATC and send it out by tomorrow, latest. TTFN (Ta Ta For Now)...

 

Sunday Scripture...

Luke 1:37

She's Back Where She Belongs...

 

Handsome drove to Madison yesterday morning while I stayed with Tag and Carly. He was back home with our beautiful Bella early afternoon. 

Bella is on meds that make her groggy right now to help her heal. She's got to stay quiet for a couple weeks, so they're helping in that regard. Instead of wearing the dreaded "cone of shame", we had an inflatable donut that Handsome took with him for her. It's nice because it's like a neck pillow and she's comfortable sleeping on it. The dogs don't complain about that like they do over the cone. Those things are just obstreperous. 

So we're counting our blessings that all our driving back and forth, the surgery and Bella's surgery were so covered in good wishes. I could feel the care and concern from all of you, and I'm confident Bella could, too. You're the best!

I'm going to try to get a little needlework in today. I also want to dry can potatoes this weekend, so I'll get the spuds prepared first. They have to be peeled and then sit in cold water 5-8 hours to wick the starch out of them. Then, the pressure canning part will be easy. First, coffee! I hope you have a great weekend!
