Box 1

Box 2

Box 3

Box 4

Box 5

This beautiful and personal artwork was made for me by Margie of Resurrection Fern. It arrived today, here at the bottom of the world, all the way from the top (Ontario, Canada.) Margie has carefully crocheted together pieces of Liberty lawn as well as small pieces of my own fabric. It's a big, but delicate missing pieces stone, and I can't believe I have one of my very own.

Thank you, dear Margie.

    Lucky you Melissa. I know you will appreciate and enjoy this. I recently received a package from Margie as well. I have been thinking about her in Mexico with Geninne. They must be having a very good visit.
    You have a nice redo of your banner and shop logo. Isn’t it nice to freshen things up every once in a while? I wish I knew how to do more with my blog design. Then again, it is just fine the way it is. At least I know how to make new banners and change colors!

    So beautiful. She made that big, hard stone into something delicate and vulnerable-looking.
    I like your new banner, too. Partly because it’s pretty and partly for selfish reasons… I was burning to use Home Sweet Home for my blog title, but did not want anybody to think I was copying you! I guess I’m okay doing it now? I used the same font on my wedding stationary, so it is very dear to me.

    I really don’t know what those stones are for (I figure they would make pretty paper weights) but I love them, and this one is lovely!
    I also like the new color scheme on the blog.
