Beautiful gifts from a friend!

It has taken me WAAAAY too long to say "Thank You" to a dear friend. 

Kristi had a blog contest for a handmade apron - and I entered it...and won!
She did such a beautiful job and I just have to show off her lovely work.

And because she is so sweet, she also sent me a WONDERFUl bar of handmade soap, and a pretty cotton washcloth that she crocheted!

She is one of the most talented people I know - seriously....check out her blog!  
She's always got something going on in the garden, or the kitchen, or the schoolroom.
She recently learned cake decorating with her daughter and their cakes look beautiful!

Kristi, thanks again and......you rock!  :-)

Odds and ends

I've made a hodge-podge of crafty stuff lately:

An 'aviator' hat for my cousin's baby - due any day now.

A bunny blankie and some booties for another little one (also due any day)

And for my own special someone - a little blue duck  - to replace a 'lovey' that was lost.
