I thought my crazy quilting friends would enjoy seeing these beautiful buttons that I received from my dear friend Chris for Christmas.
These are vintage Lacy Glass Backpainted Buttons. They are so beautiful! They're like little gems!
No, I won't be using these on any of my projects. I'm going to ask my dad if he can make a frame for them so they're safe and so that I can hang them on the wall.
I wish I was better with the camera. They are so sparkly in person!
I finished Valentine #2 last night so I'll scan that sometime today and post it later.

Another Beautiful Gift - Garden Jewels
I received this beautiful framed x stitch piece from my dear friend and model stitcher Kim for Christmas. This is "Garden Jewels" and it's one of my designs. I did it as a mystery project last Summer. Kim and I share a great love of hummingbirds and it just means so much to me to have Kim's beautiful and perfect stitching hanging in my home.
I currently have this piece hanging in my Living Room but I'll be moving it into my computer room here shortly. I just have to take 2 other framed pieces down and fill one of the little nail holes. I think it'll look great in here. My walls are sponge painted a light green and I have wisteria stenciled over the door and window corners. I'll take another pic when I have it hanging in here.

Mom's First Attempt At Crazy Quilting
This is my mom's first attempt at Crazy Quilting. It's a small heart shaped doorknocker. I have it hanging on the corner of the mirror on my antique dresser. Not bad at all for a first attempt! This was for my birthday as well.
I have a few more gifts to share with you and I'll do that tomorrow.
Also, I've almost completed the Valentine Ornament #2. I expect to have the ready later today so I'll share that tomorrow as well.

Totebag
One can never have too many totebags! Especially when you're a stitcher!
Mom made this for me for my birthday.
