Name Tag Holder.....(218)

Today's Stroll piece is Stitcher's Name Tag from La D Da, stitched in 2014. This was a LE kit one year from Nashville Market but I think is available now as a chart. I changed things up a bit, replacing the flower on the right with a bee skep and adding Itty Bitty bee buttons buzzing around. My Mom gave me the sparkly bee in the upper left corner and my friend, Paola, gave me the fairy charm in the lower right. This has a pocket on the front and back, so perfect to carry a small amount of cash or your room key if at a retreat.

So I felt the urge to start a new project yesterday......sorry, can't help myself....and I know you understand! :) I had stumbled across these placemats at Hobby Lobby a couple months ago on clearance; there were 5 packs of 2. I came home and looked through my charts and found a Prairie Schooler that would work perfectly, one motif in a corner of the mats. I started the first one last night after mapping out where they should go. 

 
 We're off to Baltimore ...and back today, so it will be a lot of driving but so much easier on a Sunday than during the week. However, the DC traffic is a nightmare anytime!!! I'll be working on my Samsarah calendar to ease the pain.

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