I finally got the Blue Ribbon Sewing Box pre-stitching done!  That's saying a lot considering I've been chasing a little fur ball around for the past three weeks.  Lets just say, my stitching time has become extremely limited these days!  I have the teeth marks on my hands from a certain someone to prove it too!  We've also had some family stuff going on again too that's kept me from stitching.

Thankfully last Sunday my honey took over the chasing and gave me the chance to get this one done.  I've waited to post about it until we had a good sunny day to take pictures.

Now all I have to do is pull some threads (which I'm a little nervous about) and cut the pieces out!  I really enjoyed this one a lot.  I love the colors.  They are just so springy!

Here's a close up of one of the pocket slips (top piece) minus the pulled threads and the top of the mattress style pincushion (bottom piece).  I really enjoyed those blue overlap stitch flowers on the pocket slips!  I can now say I'm much better at tent stitch too!

Here is a close up of the smalls.  I think I may have posted about these earlier but I couldn't resist showing them again.  My favorite piece of this whole project is that bouquet of flowers tied with that blue ribbon. I am getting so excited about finally getting to put this all together!  Soon...very soon!

Of course I can't resist sharing the latest picture of my alligator sweet puppy!  She's really enjoying that chicken and the raw hides gifted to her by Aunt Marsha.  Thanks again, Marsha!  Those raw hides have saved my sanity and my hands this week.  LOL!

Well, it's a quick post today since someone is napping right now!  Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you all have a great stitchy weekend!

Until next time (and hopefully with fingers still intact),
