Happy St. Patrick's Day!
I finished this little "Slan" which means welcome, or peace...really not all that sure about the meaning of it as I've come across different sources. I used HDF silk ribbon to edge the little pillow. I think it turned out great.
Today is not only St. Patrick's Day, but it is also Blini Day for those who are Orthodox. Blini is a Russian pancake, or crepe, which we eat with all sorts of different toppings. We eat the blini before Lent begins, which begins tomorrow. I will be missing having my coffee with cream and tea with milk the most. That's always the hardest for me. Not eating meat and dairy isn't such a big deal, but my COFFEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! As always, I adjust and then before you know it, it's Pascha!!
Tomorrow is the IHSW update and I realized I forgot to do a TUSAL post! Oops! Lots to share with you...and lots of blogs to read. I did see that Google Reader will be closing on July 1st which makes me mad. I really enjoy Google Reader and found it so helpful for making sure I didn't miss any posts. I found Blog Lovin' and will use that once Google Reader goes dark.
Cheerio and enjoy your day of stitching!!
P.S. Welcome to my new followers! I just realized I am close to 300 followers! WOW! So that means I need to think of a really good 300 follower giveaway....so stay tuned!

Your St. Patrick's Day basket is off to a great start, Anne--it will be fun to add to it each year :) I like the silk ribbon edging very much on your latest!
Blini sound wonderful!! Have never heard of them before, but with the different toppings they don't sound like your ordinary old pancake. Enjoy your day, Anne :)

Cute, sweet finishes! Ummm the blini sounds delish! Have a great week.
Love your finishes! At first I thought your little pillow said Sian, which is my daughter's middle name (the picture was quite small in my blog reader!)and I was so suprised as it's not a very common name! I think now I might have to go and have my eyes tested! Anyway, I love the way you have one the ruffle ribbon edge, it's perfect!
Thanks for sharing your traditions - so interesting to hear all the differences.Hope you survive having your tea and coffee without milk and cream!
Cute finishes, congratulations
Never heard of bliini but the look delicious.
Cute little finishes.
Happy "belated" St Patricks Day.
