A Mermaid's Tale Part 2 (140)

Good morning! We got an early morning walk in already and are gearing up for the day. On our walks we often see this......

......it is amazing how humongous these root balls are! The soil is very sandy and when a big wind/storm blows through, these trees just tip over. To give some perspective, that root ball is probably 10-12 feet high/wide!!!

On to my Stroll stitching....here is part 2 of A Mermaid's Tale by Sherri Jones. Up today are the smalls; left to right are a pin keep, pincushion and scissor fob.

Sitting in the bottom of the purse, I've added a vial of sand from Ocean City, Md (where I took the class), a large pearl and a mermaid's tear (this was given to me by a friend and I think it's seas glass).

I have been getting some finishing done and will start to share that tomorrow.

Thanks for stopping by and your "twisted threads" of friendship!

  2. Enjoying so very much your various projects! Your samplers could they have come from "ancient" Gloria & Pat charts or Leisure Arts?

    1. Thank you Maria for your kind comment. I googled old Leisure Arts Sampler and found the one. It's called Keepsake Samplers and I guess it would be considered "ancient" about now! :)
