Small Happy Dance!

Here are pictures of a small finish from my Merry Cox class last March in Buffalo. I started stitching the needlebook after Christmas and finished putting it together on New Year's Day.
I also lined the little paper mache box that Merry and her husband painted for us. Once my bird has wings, she will sit atop the box on a flower and drink from her little thimble bucket. I got a thimble from an antique store which I hope will be the right size for the bird.
At our November classes with Merry, she had a really sweet pinkeep kit, which I stitched up quickly and got mostly put together during class but needed to glue on the suede backing, which I did on New Year's Day! (Hopefully my having finished a couple of things on New Year's Day will be a good omen for 2008 and I'll get lots finished - LOL!) Sorry the picture is so blurry --
Happy Stitching! =^..^=

You made a super job of this! The little box is great too, but I can't wait to see the little bird sipping from the thimble on it! Very cool.

Hugs, and Happy New Year,
