Whew! Another Side Done

 This is from the Sassy Jacks Valentine's Exchange. 

And here's my second side to the pear.

New Starts for 2025

 I started this Mill Hill kit to have a travel project.

Bountiful Kitties by Mill Hill. I hope to get this done this year.

This next one is a secret stitch for the Sassy Jacks Valentine's SAL exchange.

S is for Sassy Jack's

 The other place that I like to purchase my needlework supplies is Sassy Jack's

Kim Young is a wonderful person and  stocks her shop with all sorts of interesting things.  She is currently offering a free  sampler download. To get all the information, watch this video from last week:

This was a fascinating show showing some of Kim's collection of samplers.  

I have purchased a "few" things from Kim. I'll share the latest in a few days.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Our lovely friend across the pond   Jo  has a great blog hop for Valentine's Day. I sent her a  photo of a project that would be appropriate for a stitching friend   and Jo forwarded the photo to someone and then she sent this lovely photo to me to post for you today.

Aren't these too cool? Looks like they are made with wood.  Wonder who my Secret Stitching Sweetheart is? Will have to go to Serendipitous Stitching and hop around so I can guess.

I also received another stitching exchange gift. This was from Sassy Jacks Stitchery . She hosted a swap where we stitched a piece and then sent it to the shop and she swapped it and mailed it back out. The fee was $10, but well worth the price.
Here is what I received:

 Kim sent us a chart from her and one from Jeannette Douglas along with a needle nanny and some counting pins.

I received this adorable needle book and card from Patti Thomas. Need to place it next to my stitching spot and put my needles inside. How did she know that I am so horrible about storing my needles?
Hope you have a great weekend with lots of stitching time.
