Today I got my Aprons from Tasha, look how pretty they are, a nice card with gift from Aunt Jenny.
Posted some of my other stuff, still waiting on my Betsy wetsy doll from ebay, maybe tomorrow.
Received a pretty card from Sunshine, and Anne.
My retirement is so much more fun with you guys to keep me busy and happy.

Nancy, Bramble sent me some beautiful Aunt Martha's embroidery transfers....I am dying to get at, but not sure what to put them on...They are Tea Cups and flowers....Maybe as I do them I will take a picture and send it snail mail 'cause I can not do anything on the computer...

Margie,
I would love to see what you do with them, a tea towel with the teacup would be cute, use a pretty napkin Like I did with some of mine, or make a sachet with the flowered one, or a pin cushion. A cover for your covered dish.

you could even embroider small squares of fabric and then create a teacup pincushion... by filling the teacup with your pincushion filling and then hot gluing the embroidered square over the stuffing...or make little mini sachets for your Christmas tree, or even create a valance for a kitchen.

Margie- I saw the teacup patterns embroidered on a plain curtain valance trimmed with blue gingham ribbon. It looked really cute in a breakfast nook that had blue checked wallpaper. Just another idea...glad you liked them!
OOps! Tina must have seen the same thing I did!
And Nancy- Tasha's apron is just great, isn't all this swapping fun?
with a happy heart |

Nancy Jo! What a wonderful blog day! I LOVE the aprons and all your other pictures! You have inspired me to start embroidery again!

Nacy Jo, I love looking at your blog. Of course, now I have been tempted to go to ebay to look for "doo dads" ;). I love the box with doo dads glued on!!!

Tracy,
That box was fun to do, just ask everyone you know for their broken jewelery. When I think of all the things I should have kept over the years I could cry. Because now I see all these ideas of things to make with the things that I didn't think I would use. So boy when the good weather comes around again I will be paying real close attention at garage sales.
Thankyou Tracy and girls for all your nice comments on my blog.
