Another great mail day, my SBEBB: ABC Exchange arrived…I received an amazing exchange piece from Ulla in Finland. What a gorgeous Quaker Humbug Ornament, so beautifully stitched and finished. I am more than impressed with Ulla’s talent and more than thankful for all of the time that she dedicated to this exchange.
I was treated to so many extras: a Shepherd’s Bush Leaflet titled, Be Sweet, hand dyed floss in my favorite color, some tapestry needles that are packaged so nicely, and a magnetic note pad. Ulla, I cannot thank you enough for this wonderful exchange; I love everything that you sent!

SBEBB: ABC Exchange
Stitched by: Ulla
I must share the detail, isn't is gorgeous?
Okay, I have another “must have gadget” to share with you: A mini book light to use while stitching, but which one?
My favorite is the one pictured on the far left, the Carson Flex Neck Ultra Bright LED Book Light FL55. And here is the brand new one that I will be giving away...
I like this one the best because it is lightweight (3 oz), the light is truly bright, the 7” flexible goose neck allows you to adjust the lamp-head in every direction, the clip opens to a generous 1.5 inches, and it has a flat base for table top illumination. I like to clip this light onto the front of my shirt (looks goofy but it works well) but the clip enables you to attach it to a frame or hoop. The little light does require 3-AAA batteries.
As some know, I love the smaller thread counts and especially love the look of over one stitching. This light is truly a “must have” when working on those 40 count over one projects. It is small, lightweight and portable which makes it great for travel. I have a friend that travels with a 100-watt bulb for those low-lit hotel rooms; I just bring this little light and never need to worry about a broken bulb in my luggage.
If you are interested in this Gadget Give-A-Way just leave me a comment and I will draw a name on 7/18 and post the winner.
I purchased another bird feeder/pole yesterday but have not put it out yet. I am amazed at how many hungry critters there are. Here is one that showed up at one of my backyard feeders fortunately I was home to take this picture. I just knew that Rob would appreciate it!!!

And where might Bambi’s mother be???
She never took her eyes off of her baby, always watching closely from behind the rock wall in the neighbors yard.
Thanks so much for stopping by~
Until next time...

Absolutely stunning exchange from Ulla!! Truly gorgeous :)
I'd also love to go into the draw for the little light please - am also happy to pay for the postage if I'm the lucky winner :)
The baby deer is so cute. I love the colours on the quaker humbug ornament. There are so many talented stitchers out there.
Please enter me in your draw. I could really use a light for my qsnaps. I do have a table top one but I enjoy stitching on my lunch hour at work and the lighting in the lunch room is not the greatest.
I would be more than happy to pay for the postage.
Hey lookie here! Way down here on the bottom of the list is me saying: I LOVE that Humbug...and all the goodies that came along with it! It is sincerely and utterly gorgeous Marie! I know you have to love it ;o)
And look at that little Bambi! What a sweetheart ;) And Mama looking on....so sweet!
What sweet deer pictures! And wonderful exchange stuff, too :)
Hi Marie,
Oh, I just love the exchange that you received from Ulla! That thread that she used is a gorgeous color. I need to get my hands on some.
I hope you have a lovely Independence Day.
How cool. I love Bambi and mom! Oh, but it love the exchange too... so many beautiful things here every time I drop by!
Thanks for the words on the lights. I am working on an over one right now and I thought I had excellent lighting but I find myself blinking an awful lot. I need to try out those tiny lights. And since they are so portable, I'm sure I can take 2-3 with me wherever I go! :)
I love that fawn. So sweet. Thank you for a great gadget giveaway.
Natasha

Pam
Beautiful deer photos.
Lovely exchange. Love that Quaker ornament.
You comments on the lights are great. I would love to be the winner of your give away.
Beautiful stitching and goodies from Ulla! I know you must be delighted with it - just as much as I am with the gorgeous stitcher's caddy you did for me! Love your deer photos, too - great pics!
Leave me out of the drawing - I already have a couple of the lights (which are wonderful) so someone else can have a chance.

Isn't that humbug just the most exquisite thing ever? So gorgeous!
And look at sweet little Bambi, too cute!
OMG that fawn is adorable!!!!
What a beautiful humbug!
Your baby visitor is adorable! And that is one awesome exchange from Ulla :-)
What a gorgeous exchange! Amazing picture of the fawn, too. How sweet of you to offer an exchange, please include me!
Your goodies that you sent to Vonna were awesome!!
Oh my! I've been missing out! Bambi is so cute! How wonderful to have beautiful wildlife close enough to enjoy it.
Your light looks great.
Hello, Marie:
I've just become acquainted with your blog this evening. Your stitching is very beautiful and a source if inspiration for me to sit down and work on those UFO's! I am interested in your drawing for the light. Please count me in!
Hi Marie,
I have yet to sign up for any exchanges, but seeing your beautiful humbug I will have to put that on my to do list. Your stitching is inspirational, thank you for posting your photos. Please count me in for your drawing!
Oh, your tiny visitor was so darling! What wonderful pictures!
Enter me in your giveaway, please!
Marie, I'm new to your blog and found my way here via Carole S and Vonna's blogs. Your work is absolutely beautiful and I must say I'm enjoying your wildlife photos too!
I love the Peace ornament you did up for Carole and was wondering if you could tell me the name of the floss you used. It's perfect for this type of ornie.
Please enter me in your giveaway as well. Looks like that light would come in handy when travelling!
Thanks so much.
Ohhh Bambi,what a darling;-)))) I never saw one so close;-)))
Would you send your pirze overseas too???
Gaby
I love your exchange - the color is beautiful. And the watchful eye of mama is wonderful to see.
Take care, Nancy K.
I really enjoyed looking through your blog which I found via Vonna's as I was trying, unsuccessfully, to track down the Victorian Motto Sampler threads which I had never heard of but, really appealed to me :>) - what a real web this is!
The little squirrel's antics made me laugh - we have a multitude of feeders too which my poor DH scurries along to fill every day and we don't have squirrels but, we do have many immature families of tits blackbirds and starlings.
The package from Ulla is amazing. I love the little Quaker humbug. What beautiful stitching and finishing
I would love to be entered into your draw if I am in time.
Many good wishes, Angela

How sweet is your baby visitor! Probably all grown up by now : )
The humbug is fantastic. There is a free pattern on the Caron Collection web site & I've got to get the --finishing-- started. The stitching is the easy part!
