Happy Dad-day, Sewing-things & the Hopping continues….

Hello Friends & Folk!

...and a very 

Happy Happy Father's Day 

to those wonderful people who have raised us, loved us, stood by us & put up with us!!!

My dear, sweet husband is one of those guys who was born to be a Dad…

Peter,

from day one you have been by my side helping to nurture, guide & teach ~

and our reward is a loving, compassionate daughter who loves us just as equally-fierce.

 ~ do you remember the day I told you "we" were finally pregnant after 7 loooong years?

I will never forget the look on your face.

...and do you remember how you fell head-over-heels in love 

with that tiny baby that was just born?

I do. 

I watched you then & I watch you now, 

and I have learned from you so much...

we are so proud of you for your accomplishments 

and I thank the stars everyday for you ~

ok, enough of that mush ~

;)

on to 

THIS!

…do you remember a while back when I re-did my ugly sewing box?

well, Miss Joan has followed suit and has re-done hers!!!!!

and just LOOk at this beauty ~

ohhhhhh!

Miss Joan has taken one of her {{{many}}} vintage needlework pieces 

and stitched it to the top of her sewing box!!!

then

she added a dark blue rick-rack to the edge….perfect!

she also wrapped the handle with red/cream homespun which she loves so much….

~ very clever girl ~

at first Joan thought this was needlepoint, but upon closer inspection, it is actually cross stitch done in wool!

 and here what's inside ~

WOW

Miss Joan is an antiques dealer, 

and as such ~ she has the opportunity to hoard um…'collect' many things.

BUT her downfall passion is seeing items!!

I will be taking my camera to Miss Joan's House 

and capture her sewing room for you all to see in an upcoming post ~ 

oh my stars & garters you will NOT want to miss that post!

~ just look at all that great stuff in there ~

makes me want to go buy another box just to re-do it again!!!!!!

Thank you Joanie, for allowing me to share your beautiful sewing box with my readers :)

{now go dust that sewing room 'cause I'm coming!!}
