My Friendship RR is home again after starting its journey in Mar. 2009, and I love it, love it! It made it through various bumps in the road and a few delays, but it's home. Already working on finishing up some of these other hearts before it goes back out for some new adventures. The title at the top is what Cindy wrote on my envelope, so I "borrowed" it. :)The past week or so has been a great mail week - new stash and surprises.
Look what the RAK Fairy sent me! Aren't they beautiful? I love these limited editions from Carrie's Creations.
After seeing these Medieval Ladies from Joan Elliot at Kathy's house, I had to have them. Saw one being stitched on someone's blog last year, but they were only in the magazine then. So I'm wondering exactly how many there are altogether...
Also picked up some older Carriage House charts that were on Etsy....and my PTP FOTM came this week, too.
Queen Mya has come for a visit - see her perched on her throne? But she's so excited...because this is her first SNOW!!!! For those of you that are sick of snow, disregard this bubbling over description of the event. We don't get snow too often here in central NC, so it's a big thing for us. So far, about 5 in. and sleeting most of today. And yes, the city is pretty shut down, but at least it's Saturday.Montana is loving the visit and snow, as he doesn't remember his first one last year. He goes pure nuts in it outside!
And here's the happy couple after taking the dogs out last night. This time they left early enough to escape driving in the bad weather. The last exciting event is that we ordered DD's wedding dress yesterday and it's soooo beautiful!
And as every good Southern woman knows to do, I've collected the snow (before sleet) to keep for snow cream later today - Yum, yum!

great post today Carolyn - so many nice patterns in the mail for you! Weddings are exciting - enjoy!
What a fun idea of sending the stitching project from friend to friend!
Enjoyed the pics of the dogs and your family. Fun times.
Hey Carolyn!! Glad your RR made it back!!! And, you have been shopping my dear!! Nice job....Now I dont know about you but I plan on stitching ALOT this weekend with our sleet/snow even here in NC.. Take care and I think the happy couple look so content!!! Be safe, Faye
The hearts sampler looks great. We are getting snow too, woohoo, first decent amount in about 6 years :)
Those are fun looking patterns. The RR looks good. Fun, fun snow! So how do you make snow creme?
Your RR is so pretty, Carolyn--what a nice testament to your stitching friendships! Glad you're enjoying the snow--keep it down south for a while, OK??
Woo hooo! We got some, too - but sadly there was not enough "good snow" for cream. Your pups seem pleased, Pixie is not! I know you are tickled to have your RR back - it can get tense when there are 'issues'. Loving your stash!
Stay warm!
I love your RR - that is such a great idea for one! And great stashing - I hadn't seen those Joan Elliott's before, they look really interesting :)
As for snow, you can just keep that stuff up your way - got enough of it before we went south, and still get too much :)
No snow here...it's HOT here and I sit under the airco. I'll enjoy the pictures of snow though. The puppies both look adorable.
Great RR and great new stash.
Your daughter looks SO lovely. She will make a stunning bride.
Never heard about snow cream...lol. You have to explain that a bit more.
Congrats on the RR...I'm sure you were so excited to receive it back home. The dogs look like they are having so much fun in the snow. I'd like to know what snow cream is too. There is no snow where I live and I've never heard of that.
Love your RR! What wonderful stuff you have gotten. Jealous about the snow....we are just getting rain! Oh well...
Your RR looks great and I'm glad to hear it came home safely!
Snow cream??? Please elaborate... I'm Canadian and I've got lots of snow, am I missing out on some great treat?
you got some great stash in the mail. I have always lived where there is snow but never heard of snow cream.
Your Friendship RR is looking great. The snow was fun while it lasted, but got as much sleet as snow in my area. I'll be at home at least another day waiting for about 2 inches of compacked snow/ice that's covering my downhill driveway to thaw.
the RR looks great how did you start it and was there a specific pattern?
Your Friendship RR is looking lovely and great stash.
Beautiful picture of the couple.
What a beautiful friendship piece.
Wow some great stash too...
The RR looks great, LOVE LOVE LOVE those medieval ladies they are just great. Where did you get then, I may just have to have one. LOL
Your RR is coming along nicely..GREAT job! I LOVE those "ladies"! Beautiful! You have such a fun blog to look through...THANKS!
Wonderful stash... enjoy! The Friendship RR looks great. Nice pic of your DD and fiance.
What great goodies!! The RR is lovely. I loved the snow too!! Hope your roads are safe there today. :)
Our snow is pretty much gone now. Just a few places here and there. Your RR is stunning. I know you are thrilled to have it back home.
Hi Carolyn! Sounds like you will be busy stitching. Your RR is so special. I'm glad it arrived safely back home. Next time we get snow, I'll send some down to you ;)
Such a nice RAK Fairy! Love your new stash too! Send us some snow so Holly can play in it too! LOL
Love all the new stash and that young couple looks so HAPPY!!! congrats on their upcoming wedding.
Glad you got back your RR safely. Lovely pictures of your dog and family.

Always a relief to have your piece make it home again! Great stash enhancement from you and the RAK fairy! We've really only had 5" of snow twice this year. We can still see our grass! So besides being cold, not too bad for MI. Will love seeing the wedding pictures!
Oh carolyn "Snow Cream" !!!!! i haven't had any of that in many years. daddy used to set out an empty pot everytime it snowed and when it was full he would make snow cream for us all. what wonderful memories. Unfortunately I never paid attention to how he made it. I know he used vanilla and milk but I don't remember what else.
Your Friendship Sampler is lovely. Is that a chart or just hearts from everyone's heart? Sounds like a fun venture.
Nice stash. you lucky duck -- happy stitching !!!
DD and her intended look very happy .
Lovely RR and great new stash to play with, enjoy!
What a great update. Lovely stitching, lovely stash, and a lovely new family member. Congrats!
I love how your RR project is looking! You made out great from the RAK fairy and the patterns are very pretty. The couple getting married really does look happy.
Looks like you had some fun shopping. Happy to see that your RR has made it home safely.
Glad your RR returned home to you...looks good.
Your RR is lovely! I am glad it made it safely home. Love the new stash-some great patterns there.
Oh how lovely to see a RR that made it home. Looking good girl!
Love the new stash. How wonderful to do dress shopping with your DD.
Enjoy that snow!
Carolyn great patterns and rak. Love the RR. Enjoyed the pics of your dogs and family. So what is Snow Cream lol.
