HARVEST EXCHANGE RECEIVED!!!!

Look what I received in the mail !!!  These beautiful goodies came all the way from South Africa. I was amazed at the envelope!  lol
It has all kinds of pretty stamps on it.. I kept it!
My package was from Cucki in South Africa. I love Homespun Elegance and I did not have this one!! She made a hand knitted cup and cupcake! I will always treasure them. She enclosed a letter telling about herself on beautiful stationery. Hand made the pumpkin. I will keep my threaded needle by my side with this pumpkin.  Lovely with note card. She enclosed the cutest little scissors, pumpkin buttons and pretty mint colored linen. The floss she put in was some I had looked at the other day, but I had put back and got some different colors.. She just knew I wanted them... lol  and I can always use needles. I always loose them....
I sent my box out Saturday  to my partner for Dixie Samplar's Exchange. I will post a picture of what I made and sent. 
I've had a busy week so far. Monday, I had to go pay our property tax. Today, I had a dentist appointment. Wednesday, me and mom are going to the nursing home to see my aunt. she is communicating some. Thursday, mom goes to her cancer doctor for a checkup.  Friday maybe... I will have a off day. No time for stitching.
Hubby has been bringing in rose and shrub bushes, they've been digging up around a job site (school). He has been bringing them in by the dump truck loads.. So every night he gets the bobcat out digs trenches, dumps the bushes, we cover them back up. We water and put mulch around them. I have been watering morning and at night to try and save (I call it recycling) these plants. I will try to get a picture tomorrow of my bushes.
Signing off for the night.... Thank you Cucki!!!
