JAPANESE GARDEN
Black, black, and more black! I worked the entire north black border and northeast corner ornament. Here's what it looked like before:

FORGIVE QUICKLY
I've been working on this one when my eyes (and brain) needs an easy project to work on.
WALL HANGING SUCCESS
A while back, Emily of Emily's Everyday Life stitched an ABC Sampler. She doesn't have a sewing machine, so I offered to make it into a wall hanging for her. The tab hangers were a bit fiddly, but I think it turned out nice. Not bad for my first one! What do you think?
STITCHING CRUISE
Darlene of My Life in Stitches is trying to get a group of stitchers together for a cruise to the Bahamas. If you'd like to go, check it out on her blog. The cruise is May 27-June 2. I went on a cruise to the Caribbean in 2001 and it was a lotta fun!
GIVEAWAY
