Are you ready to see some gorgeous Elefantz designs that fellow bloggers have stitched?
Here are the final few 'Little Bird' and 'Little Bird in Tree' photos from my July Challenge.
Janice made a beautiful cushion...
and Penny used hers in the centre of a Dresden Plate block!
Penny also used my free 'Roses' design to make this stitching folder...
Susie had lots of fun teaching a group of girls to stitch. She used my Lavender Fields Forever pattern with them and they are all wonderful!
And last for this week, Cyndi has made her own version of Block 2 from my Daisy-do free BOM!

I have news to share!
My darling Blossom has a job! \o/
She started work on Monday at an exquisite gift shop here in town - remember *that* shop? It's even more beautiful!! Here she is ready for another day on her feet...
...and wearing her new heels for the first time.
This is the shop, "Poppet Head"...
Wouldn't you love to stroll amongst all these lovely treasures?
I did, and came home with a sweet shabby chic stand to hang my earrings on...
Bob-the-dog is missing her.
But he sits guard over all her heels while she's away.

24 hours from now my surgery will be over and I should be enjoying the after effects of pain medication. In the meantime I'm cooking pots of food because as much as I love my family, I will not eat their cooking. Note to self: teach them to cook!!
Love and hugs,
Jenny

Great projects, Jenny! Love to see how everyone does your designs.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh Blossom got a job at *that* shop. Guess where her paycheck will go??? You'll have the prettiest house in the Southern Hemisphere! She looks like a model, all dressed up ready for work.
Got my knee pads on, praying for your surgery - don't blame you for not wanting to eat the family's cooking, lol!
I wish you all the best for your surgery. Hope it will all go well.
ReplyDeleteBlossom looks so grown up in her shop outfit! I bet she is having a good time working at that shop!

Just came from reading about Blossom's birthday. My daughter has a Bamboo Tablet too..and I made a cozy for it.(read about it here http://pennyshands.blogspot.com/2009/08/cozy-for-bamboo-fun.html)
ReplyDeleteIsn't it a mother's proud moment..her baby all grown up and getting a job!...and I don't mind getting a job at *that* shop..I spy so much yummy goodies! Hugs, Penny
Thanks for featuring my stitchery....couldn't do it without your beautiful patterns !
ReplyDeleteWishing you all the best for the finger op - and minimum pain after! I hope Blossom enjoys her job - a lovely place to work in - but I do wonder if she will last the day in those heels . .
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Blossom with the new job! What a beautiful shop!
ReplyDeleteAlso I wish you good luck on the surgery. I'm sure you will feel much better once it is done and healed.
Good luck in your surgery - sending up a prayer and hoping and praying for a speedy recovery, too!
ReplyDeleteBlossom is darling! Did she last all day in the heels? I used to be able to do it but no more!
Good luck Jenny, best wishes for a speedy recovery. Please tell Blossom she is a gorgeous young lady and good luck with the new job. And lastly, almost 1000...
ReplyDeleteHi Jenny, Hope the surgery went well and your finger is well on the way to being good again. Good for Blossom! what a lovely shop to work in but I bet she will spend all her paycheck i there. Did her feet hurt after a day on them in new heels? I loved all the lovely things people had done with your patterns especially the cushion and the Dresden Plate middle. Look after yourself.

It's that positive attitude that will speedd up your recovery time, just wait and see!! ~karen
ReplyDeleteFirst of all congratulations Blossom on your new job!!!! Your new shoes look great and the rest of you does also.
ReplyDeletePraying for your surgery Jenny, that God will guide your surgeon's hands as he attempts to fix your finger, and that HE will send his angels in with you during the operation and recovery.

ReplyDeleteBlossom really looks the part - and I LOVE those shoes!!! So glad she is enjoying her new job!
Good luck with the op tomorrow - I hope everything runs smoothly and sure it will do!

I couldn't work in a shop like that... my pay check would be spent before I got it then I'd still owe them hours of labour before my next one ;)
ReplyDeleteJenny, I hope Blossom doesn't spend all her salary shopping at that store. She looks so beautiful and that shop looks hard to resist.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your surgery, and congrats to Blossom, cute girl in a cute store, sales should increase........glad she's wearing those shoes and not me....I'd be in for ankle surgery, lol!!!.
ReplyDeleteWishing Blossom lots of fun at her new job! Love the Show & Tell pictures too!
ReplyDeleteHuge success and a speedy recovery on your hand surgery! (hope it doesn't hurt too much)
