And I just love your fobs. They are awesome!<BR/>Seeing your virtues reminds me that I have to keep my eyes open for them in my stitching stash. I am pretty sure I own them already and yours are looking so cute. They make me wanting to stitch them right awasy.<BR/>Youd did a fantastic job on framing Noah's Garden. I love it, love it, love it.....

They are all over the house, but yet I always have to go looking for a pair when I need them. I really love the frame you chose for Noah's Garden.

Girl you are a stitching maniac..but then aren't we all? Just love your work and reading your blog. Thanks for your posts on my blog as well. By the way, Maggie Bonanomi's art work was developed into cross stitch patterns under the umbrella of Blackbird Designs. She also did/does drawings that appear in Blackbird Design books.
