Meet Joy Sugar-Bunny













I am happy to introduce you to Joy Sugar-Bunny! [The Grand Girls are giving her loving attention.] Joy was a joy to stitch from Helen's pattern and I am eager to finish stitching Joy's two sisters soon :-)  

Out and about this week I was able to meet friends, Fran and Marilyn for lunch at Chariteas in Sandy, Oregon.  We met at church years ago, and it is fun to get together from time to time to share what we are learning in our relationships with God...challenges and encouragements as well.

One afternoon my youngest son-in-law brought in the mail which included a  surprise package from Steph in the UK!  She sent a generous assortment of tea related goodies because we had both signed up for Lucy's Grand Tea Swap.  Thanks so much for your lovely gifts, and good thoughts, Steph.

Oh, and it is not too late to let Taci know you would like to be chosen to receive her giveaway over at TaciStudio :-)

And for those of you who are celebrating having a mother and/or being a mother on Sunday:

                                                      HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY !!!
XX,
Gracie

    Hello Gracie! How lovely to see your finished Sugar Bunny......Joy is so sweet, and her name is perfect for her as she is beaming with joy. You have made her look charming, with lots of character, and the little deep pink dress is lovely too. Loved seeing all your photos today.
    Wishing you a wonderful weekend and a very Happy Mother's Day!

    Cute bunny! I love how her ears match her dress. It seems bunnies really do multiply rather quickly. :-)
