Here a few close-up photos so that you can see all of these wonderful buttons.
Now, to select just the perfect frame!
Wednesday morning stitching group afforded a few lovely uninteruppted hours, with the girls, to work on my 'Sweet Baby Sampler'.
There are some pretty specialty stitch flowers and bands to stitch in the next part, and I can't wait to see how this sweet sampler just blossoms!
Because it was my birthday this week, my very dear friend, Martha treated me to another very special luncheon and tea at Mrs. Bridges Pantry! The very best present ever!
Of course we just had to tour this wonderful antique shop, just below 'Mrs. Bridges' Pantry'. Lots of fun!
Every little detail, especially the beautiful teacups, makes this a truly delightful experience!
Our darling daughter and I share a birthday week, and we celebrated her birthday last evening. Miss Ella decided that a "Winne the Pooh" cake was in order for the occasion!
Made by her Mommy, who loves to bake and decorate cakes. Miss Ella was beyond thrilled!
Dear Daughter & Miss Ella
Miss Ella picked out 'Hello Kitty' plates, for the occasion and laid them all out in a neat little row.
Last Sunday, our son, Kevin, his wife, Gwen, two year old Emerson, and 6 month old Harrison came to help Grammama celebrate a special birthday!
Sweet little 6 month old Harrison, who is wearing his Daddy's sleep nightie!
The car is all packed and Emery is getting ready to go!
There is never ending joy spent with our precious children and grandchildren. We are treasuring these very special moments, as they are the truest and most lasting of all of our family heirlooms.
Blessings to you, dear friends, on this Sunday afternoon.

Barnwood buttons is a beautiful finish, the buttons are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI could feel the family love in this post Kathy, i too have spent a lovely afternoon picnicimg with my family for my own birthday which I celebrate tomorrow.
Hapoy Birthday wishes to you, a lovely way to spend time with your friend,I did that too last week, an early celebration as my friend is on hols this week.
I could have almost wrote this post myself!
Both the buttons and the fabric lend a lot of interest to this project. I've not stitched on linen this dark - it certainly is very striking! The Sweet Baby Sampler is looking great too. I'm not familiar with this project and I'll watch it unfold here vs. going to look it up. I rather like the idea of seeing sections at a time!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday Kathy. Barnwood Buttons looks great. When our son Emerson was little, I called him Eme(Emeee). We call him Emer for a nick name now.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finish and some sweet pictures!
