Prairie Schooler Exchange Received

Yesterday I received Prairie Schooler Exchange package from Angela in Canada. I could not post straight away because I was waiting for some sunlight to take good pictures.
Angela made a scissor case and a fob for me. She chose a very interesting chart called "Pins and Needles" , the backing fabric matches PS pattern perfectly well. The Scissor case and fob are nicely stitched and finished, I love them so very much. Here are their pictures, look how bright they are:
Angela spoiled me pretty much including some extra goodies: PS chart, my favorite needles, some DMC floss, pins , beads, a beautiful post card.
She also wrote a short message for me. It is interesting that this was Angela's first exchange with HOE and for me it was the first Prairie Schooler pattern - I have not finished mine for the exchange yet, still a lot of doubts what to finish it into or maybe to stitch something different. Angela says she was nervous to stitch for me! I am stressed out every time I stitch for somebody.
I want to thank Angela for the wonderful exchange, I know how much of herself she invested into it. I really appreciate it. It was nice "meeting" you Angela!
Happy stitching to everybody!

Our Wedding Anniversary

Well... today is our 4-Year Wedding Anniversary!

I made a little present for myself. It is one more Just Nan design, from her tiny designs called Spring Spell. I made it into a scissor fob as I needed a fob in blue colors for a new pair of scissors. I used a scrap of blue Evenweave and DMC floss for it.

On the back side of the fob I stitched my initial, I have never done this before but I did not know what else to stitch here keeping the style of the design.

I am pleased with how it turned out and maybe one day will try another tiny Just Nan design for a fob.

Happy weekend to everybody!
