A wee bit o' progress

Some excitement arrives in the mail!!!!
Also there were three skeins of silk from Crescent Colours and a pack of John James needles. Also in the box was the little box of Sees chocolates. I love Sees and have not had any in quite a while.
Next came the wonderful box with the stitching on top. I just love sheep and Edgar picked a great design. I cannot believe how perfecto his stitching is!
Here's a peek at the fabric on the inside. The lid is lined as well as is the bottom.
Inside the box was nestled this lovely flower frog in a wonderful little gold bag.
One of my grandmothers had a frog just like this . I will think of her when I use it. It will serve a dual purpose. It will hold scissors and then it will hold those sweet little wild violets this Spring that pop up all over the yard.
Thank you so much Edgar , for everything . I just love it all! Oh... half the candy disappeared while stitching on Night and Day last night. I couldn't help myself!
That's it for today folks! I just bet I'll have something posted soon to show my progress on my projects! Thanks for stopping by today and I hope to see you again real soon!
'til next time,

Mail and Baking
Now this little birdie is not going to go beakless. I have decided to satin stitch his beak on rather than use a small piece of scrap. I think it will look ok. Can you see my leaf goof-up? Ugh.
....became this! Yummy! Didn't take us long to gobble them up. Of course after the gobbling came the wobbling . Gotta watch that!
Well, I suppose the time has come to wrap this up and get on with my day. Hope you all have a most excellant day! Thanks for stopping by.

Learning my ABC's
I did do some hand quilting on my son's quilt and then I also put a few stitches into Village at Hawk Run Hollow (VoHRH) . Remember back when I started on that? I really need to get going on it again!
******
I will spend today stitching on a pincushion for my Mom's birthday which is Wednesday. I am hoping that I will get to see her that day. We are expected to get a big snow storm starting today . We could get up to 12 inches! I am thinking about Ma Teakettle today. Did you read that she has gotten 56 inches so far for the month of January? Yikes!
******
I also found out that I won a giveaway for a pattern of a quilted banner that I have been wanting! Yay for me! I have been informed that it is on it's way , so I will show a pic of that and some details when it arrives!!! Thanks again Kim!!
That's it today. Thanks so much for visiting and do come again real soon!
