A Great Surprise from faraway

I haven't had anything good to blog about lately, until I received this package from Ann for winning her latest giveaway. I was so excited. Everything was wrapped so pretty and then what a surprise inside. A great magazine, a cup from Australia (so cool), notecards, a wonderful ornament that says "Quilt til you wilt" hand embrodiered, of course, a charm pack (which I will do something special with and a pattern for bags (my favorite thing). Chocolate, YUM

I then sat down and had a cup of tea and looked through the magazine. To my surprise there was a pretty victorian purse. I then thought about the purse I made back in 1995 for a cross stitch show. It's beaded and I made it out of velvet.

I'm sorry for the other two posts that I have no idea how they showed up. I didn't hit publish. I have been struggling with just trying to get these pictures on. Still not right but I'm tired of trying.

Thank you, Ann. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. Connie204

  1. You are most welcome Connie. The flower on the mug is our national bloom - the golden wattle. Your evening bag is stunning - I have one my grandmother made. They are most elegant. I am so glad you liked everything. Cheers, Ann :-)

  6. What a wonderful package from Ann! Your purse is wonderful too. I'm working on my eagle on black Aida 18, so I know how hard the black is to work with. Will you try the purse from the magazine? It is lovely...

    I didn't answer your call for help since I didn't know any better info than Katie gave you! I always add mine one at a time and then drag down the page. But Theri tells me that I can "click" on the picture (when it comes in at the top), do "control & x" and then scroll down to where I want the picture and do "control v". I'll try that next time!
