Have you seen THEM? Frederick is a must-have no-matter-what, even if I have to sell my last shirt! LOL

Prairie Schooler fob exchange
Here is the fob I made for Milly. This is the first fob I ever made, partly because I don't own more than two pairs or small scissors and partly because I was never sure how to make one with a metal closing and beads. I am ashamed to say it was extremely easy! :)
Prairie Schooler - adapted from leaflet # 110 Santa & Friends
Stitched over one on opalescent hand-dyed fabric.
Good news
Finally a good week :)
I got the cells result after the surgery and all is super fine, no c... word danger!
I had a CT scan this week as well and there too, all is super fine.
Which puts and end to 4 months of anxiety and visits at various docs and checks and tests and analyses and and and... I am in heaven!
I can honestly live with the underactive thyroid and PCO, I can learn tricks and ways to fight some nasty symptoms. The other two problems were much more serious.
I have some some other non-medical issues to work on but honestly, these good news put me in a state where I can't worry on anything else till at least Monday, and next Monday is also a good day to start solving problems.
Oh happy days! :)
To top it all, I finally received my biiiig order from the US, the one I put back in November 2007, that got returned to the US in March 2008, to which I added some items... yesterday I got it and I still have a huge smile looking thru it! Many small hand-dyed and R&R pieces of fabric, perfect for small samplers and ornaments, some kitted designs, some charts. Now I don't know what to start first! :) I have a small idea though, there is a biscornu and one Blackbird Designs that I might start tomorrow. Today, I still need to put the last finishing touch to one birthday giftie and the last stitches on Quaker Alphabet.
But that's not all. I also received my PS exchange from Cheryl and Milly received her PS group fob exchange from me. See next posts!

PS spring exchange from Nath
What a joy today to receive my PS spring exchange from Nath! You might remember it got returned to her because my apartment number was missing. Oh what a joy... I'll let you discover this beautiful project bag (is that the name in English?)... Nath put so much work into creating it for me!
We start with the front....
The back....
And once it's opened.... take time to see all the little details: the two skeins of threads, the small PS bunny pillow, the round pin keep, the miniature wooden pegs, the tiny buttons....
But that wasn't all... see the thread sorter.... it's Nath's husband who made it, and she told me it takes a lot of time to male!! It has so much value for me... I tend to be terribly nostalgic about such things :)

Something on its way over the Atlantic...
Hopefully Milly will get her PS fob exchange very soon now. I am very ashamed for sending it at the last moment, I usually am within the first persons to send out.

PS spring exchange # 5
The final project is the one I made for Ela... Adapted from:
Prairie Schooler - leaflet # 118 - Farm fresh
PS spring exchange # 4
Next one is the piece I made for Sharon... I adapted it from:
Prairie Schooler - leaflet # 107 - Just hatched
PS spring exchange # 3
Here is the rabbit I made for Donna, same design as below both different colors. For both, I used silks and WDW/GAST threads and Moda fabric on the back, sewed to the linen with tiny colorful stitches.
PS spring exchange # 2
Here is what I stitched and sent to Cheryl:
Prairie Schooler - leaflet # 13 - A prairie year
Prairie Schooler fob exchange
Here is the lovely fob I received from Milly within the fob exchange organized by Lynne in our Prairie Schooler group!
Mine left today for the US, hope Milly likes it too.
PS spring exchange from Sharon
Sharon sent me not one, but two lovely pieces! I adore the bookmark and the biscornu is so cute :) I am unsure of the name of the leaflet for the biscornu, so Sharon, if you let me know, I'll update it. I know that Sharon updated the design a bit to make it more "spring"!
I also received threads, an absolutely cute Easter egg, a wonderfully smelling candle which also has a colour I just love and spreads its perfume in the room as I type, and some rick-rack banding which will come super handy for spring designs, all this in a lovely Easter bag!
Thank you so much Sharon, I so enjoyed this exchange with you.
