Wow!! I received a gift from Carol

Carol, thank you! This afternoon the mailman brought me a package and I asked my daughter to take some pictures, while I unpacked the gifts Carol sent me.


I like the combination of the scissors and the fob she sent me. Carol did a wonderful job on this, the colors are beautiful, just my taste, as you can see it perfectly combines with the couch on which I do my stitchings LOL
The fob was packed in a sweet little bag of a lightblue gauze, and she sent me two bags of tea with it. The details she gave me: it's a design of The Prairie Schooler, Garden Alphabet, "J", stitched on Silkweaver 32 ct Belfast Linen with DMC floss. Attached a sweet little sun embellishment.

The front
and backside:

For now I am going to make myself a cup of tea, vanilla (my favorite taste, by the way) and sit in my own garden to do some stitches. And I am going to decide what I will do for a return gift.

Janaina said...

Lol... =D
Why is that, Wendy?! She DOES have beautiful legs! Husband must be a very distractive guy... =P (I mean VERY!)

Joke said...

ROFL Janaina, what do you think of me??? I have taste, so I have chosen the most attractive husband of the wolrd =) He doesn't mention my legs, but on the other hand, he makes sure I never have to cook LOL

Janaina said...

HA! That makes two of us! Not that my DH makes me never cook, but I cook very few times thanks to him. (love you, sweetie!) AND, of course I knew you have a great taste, Joke! Somebody who stitches so beautifuly couldn´t pick anything less than a perfect guy to marry with! =D

Joke said...

So on both parts (stitching and choosing the perfect husband) we can shake hands Janaina :) BTW I love your messages =)

Carol said...

Janaina and Joke - you two are having the funniest discussion here! LOL Oh - my DH does all the cooking too!

Joke said...

Haha Carol, we can start a 'lazy housewives club', you're most welcome :)
However, I'm not lazy, only a bad cook LOL

Janaina said...

Hahahahahahaha... Mmm... I am still decinding if I am lazy or not! =P

Joke said...

If you have to think about it, the answer is clear, I think

I think the only lazy ones at Janaina's house are Fefe and Petite!!!

Carol said...

Ooo, I am not lazy - I exercise every day and work full time as a psychotherapist... DH works at home, thus gets the cooking job ;-)

Joke said...

Ok, Carol, so neither of us is lazy I conclude. Janaina is not, according to her friend, I am not, I have a fulltime job as a schoollibrarian, and raise three children. DH is without a job (for the time being) and doens't raise children, just feeds them LOL.
How about a busy-bee-club then ;-)

Sounds good to me!
