You have such good taste in what you choose to stitch, and it's obvious a lot of thought goes into what will please the recipient. You've picked such perfect frames too - they set off the work so nicely. The labels are a lovely idea.<br /><br />That giant eclair looks awesome! Would you share the recipe? Happy birthday to your DS.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your work - your blog is always a treat to read.<br /><br />P.S. I had to cancel my trip - I got diagnosed with pneumonia the day I was supposed to leave ;--( Oh well, maybe next year...it'll still be there.Michele B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00248870554961359256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293399242092873784.post-41630339165016846842011-12-07T21:03:29.371-05:002011-12-07T21:03:29.371-05:00It's been an absolute pleasure to look at all ...It's been an absolute pleasure to look at all those stitched and framed pieces of yours.

Remember when we were kids, and time seemed to drag on forever?<br /><br />Thanks for sharing the new-to-us pieces. While they are all truly beautiful, my favorites are the birds :)<br /><br />It's really neat you have the book one of your stitched pieces is based on. Sorry, no... I don't know the book. I was just an itty-bitty tike in the 70's.<br /><br />Happy Belated Birthday to your DS! How did you make those musical notes on your blog post? Very cool!<br /><br />Lastly, congrats to Hazel!Mearihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18080474930910254503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293399242092873784.post-37640868027971372712011-12-06T03:33:34.307-05:002011-12-06T03:33:34.307-05:00You have made beautiful pictures to your family ov...You have made beautiful pictures to your family over the years Carol. I also like to give cross stitch to my parents and some friends, knowing that they will treasure them. Sometimes it also happens that what I stitch with so much love and care ends up in a drawer... That is sad, but then to those people I look for a different present next time.<br /><br />I love all of your stitches, but that PS Good Morning is especially so lovely :)Edithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04730650310717012270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293399242092873784.post-60024864339558687532011-12-04T22:07:54.061-05:002011-12-04T22:07:54.061-05:00Oh boy, time TOTALLY goes by faster as you get old...Oh boy, time TOTALLY goes by faster as you get older. Totally weird but totally true! lol<br /><br />That's so wonderful that your family put such care into displaying your stitchy treasures every year and that you get to visit them again every holiday season. And by 'them', I mean your stitchies. (AND your family too of course. :))<br /><br />That's such a clever idea to personlize the backs like that. WHY OH WHY have I never thought to do this?? *pout*<br /><br />Happy Birthday to your son!!!! :)Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06230362349362748862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293399242092873784.post-74391402695125741702011-12-04T08:14:28.957-05:002011-12-04T08:14:28.957-05:00Happy December my friend!!! :D

I think that's the biggest thank you they can give us. My mom was like that. She loved everything I stitched for her and each tiny little piece had its special spot in her house. Although she had never stitched she knew how much time and love were used to make these gifts.<br />The Country Diary must be a real treasure.Brigittehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03922122091202289138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293399242092873784.post-66694308001873093442011-12-04T03:38:03.913-05:002011-12-04T03:38:03.913-05:00Dear Carol!
