Round Robin, Pocket Puppy, HoE Christmas Ornament Exchange and Surprises

I'm participating in a Round Robin, hosted by the lovely June.  May's Round Robin found me stitching "something girlie" for Heather:

It's a chart I found in the Cross Stitch Favorite magazine (Spring of 2013).  In return, Heather stitched pretty pink hearts for me - isn't it darling?  The card is so cute - plus she also sent some additional goodies.  Thank you, Heather!!  I love it all.

As you could probably tell, I've been on a bit of a knitting binge - here is my Purple Pocket Puppy.  He's 5 inches high.  Once again, it's a pattern I found on Craftsy.com from Huggable Bears.

I joined the Hooked on Exchanging group and was lucky to get in on the Christmas ornament exchange.  This is the ornament I sent to my exchange partner.  It's a free chart from The Victorian Sampler.

Last, but not least, my brother-in-law and sister-in-law are here visiting from Hawaii.  She and I love to share stitching stash with each other.  This is what she gave me - along with Kona Coffee and chocolate covered macodamia nuts.  Love, LOVE it all and can hardly wait to stitch these up.  Thank you, Val!!

That's all for now - I'm stitching away on other exchange pieces and Christmas gifts for the new grand babies.  Pictures to come.

Keep yourself surrounded by stitches ~ Cheers ~
