but first!!! i received my fall swap package in the mail this weekend! it is so nice to get fun mail! alison sent me a hand quilted scarf! (she said she never quilted!!!) it's pieced on one side with great cotton prints and the back is this lovely velvet/fleece piecework. so cozy! and lovely!!! i also received 2 appliqued tea towels with fall leaves and a GREAT pincushion. i LOVE this pincushion so much!
how much joy can a pincushion bring??? lots i tell you, lots. THANK YOU, ALISON!!! and thanks to chara for hosting this swap. i really enjoyed it. i'll post photos of my goodies when i get THOSE developed. i'm slow on that part, really.
onto the photos! first:
stella's party...
the flower fairies we made...
what we do at "school"...some of the time!
write...
play...
build...
and some recent crafting for lilly's 8th birthday gift. i made her an embroidery kit. check it out...
the gift bag (why it is sideways...i can't figure...) i embroidered a little mousey tea party on it from wee wonderfuls stitchette's.
a peeky inside...the nicely lined bag (wink wink) and another wee wonderfuls transfer for lilly to embroider herself!
the goods...the bag, the transfer on linen in a hoop, floss, needles, and handwritten instructions (not shown)...
well...hop on over to flickr now to see the rest. eli did not get proper attention here, but i can't figure out the flipping of the photos. nor how to upload straight from flickr...so whatevs.
thanks for hanging in there folks. you keep me going! i'm gonna try to keep on looking up...needing some inspiration, hope, change...
big sigh...

yeah! loved the pics!
beautiful pictures. i love that first one...the focus on the curl and the cupcake...very cool. also love the leaves. and the girls playing with sticks...what a nice life.
the bag and the stitching...very crafty...loves it.
i know i said before i'd take words with or without photos...(in answer to your question regarding importance of photos) BUT:
now that you HAVE photos, i LOVE them. and i want more of them. we miss being near you, so when we get to hear little snippets, and SEE little snippets, your creations, your kiddos growing up, well... it's the next best thing to being there...
can't wait for more...
