I also have to give a BIG HUG to Denise from Riverside Stitching for sending me an inordinate amount of lace!!! Look at them all!!!
Now I have to make a lot more smalls and other projects to use all those lovely trims!!
Onto stitching news. Not much to report. Sigh. But I have done some stitching! I started stitching my friend's wedding heart, but frogged out the bit I did because I didn't like the Anchor White that I had in my stash since I was a teen. The floss was really fluffy and didn't lay properly. So I used Gentle Arts Sampler Thread Oatmeal which is pretty much the same as the white. Luckily I had this thread because I only have four choices of specialty threads!! I like it much better because it isn't fluffy and it stitches nicely.
Here's a picture of my TUSAL threads. I decided to follow that SAL along even though it was too late to enter. I kind of like how the threads look in my pretty white porcelain cup.

Some lavender that I collected. Lavender is one of my favourite flowers and I can't get enough of it!
I would love to pass the Stylish Blog Award to these blogs.

The rules are very simple:

3. Pass the award to 15 other stylish bloggers.
What I really like about the award is learning a bit about everyone. Here are my seven things about myself:
1. Born in city of Vancouver, raised in the countryside of Prince George (got the best of both worlds)
2. Can play piano, guitar but never took lessons
3. Danced Ukrainian dancing from age 8-16
4. I can speak French somewhat and some Russian
5. I started stitching at age 8 or 9 and was obsessed with stitching Precious Moments designs...gave them all away to family
6. I'm addicted to french fries and would take them over chocolate
7. Have read almost every book by a Russian author, War and Peace is still remaining.
There you have it!! Happy Stitching and until next time, I will be up in Prince George visiting my family!! Pray for sunshine!!

Lovely lace pieces you won.
Great wips, look forward to more up-dates.
I'll be happy to give you my sunshine if you'll give me some rain. We're in drought conditions here. It's not rained in three weeks, and even then it was only for an hour or so. I love the oatmeal floss you're using. I just recently used some on my Cattitude. And keep up the good work on your other works. I love seeing your progress!! Can't wait to see an update pic of Tanglewood.
