At Long Last, I'm Back!!

It's been some time since I last posted.  But I do have some pictures to show you of what I have been up too.

But first, I want to share with you an Easter Card I received from my dear friend in Malta, Mary Grace.


For Easter we received a lovely cake from our daughter.  Which was really delicious.


And yes, we still have snow, but not as much as the other week.  Fortunately, it is melting and almost gone.

And I'm sure you are eager to see the "Wedding Card" and "Brides Token" that I have stitch for my daughter.

"Wedding Card"

Close up of "Wedding Card"

"Brides Token"
I've never made a Brides Token before, and I found it quite difficult to put it all together.  I'm quite pleased with the overall effect of it with the large pearl beads around the edge.  I just hope she will like it.  It will make a nice keepsake as a reminder of her Wedding Day.  I have stitched there names and the date of the wedding on the back together with an "Edelweiss", this time done the right way - see below.

"Edelweiss"

Until Next time, Happy Stitching Everyone.
