Kay Susan, this is so beautiful! And I'm enjoying your blog as well! When we update the background on my blog next week, I'll add a link to your blog. Your work is amazing!
Pam
Wonderful work! You are so talented.
Hi Kay Susan,
This is one of my favorite blogs - very inspiring!
Conni
Hi again Kay Susan! Thank you so much for stopping by my blog. I'm very excited to learn you've just got an e-machine! They're wonderful and I can't wait to see with what creative things you'll come up. They are sure to prove fantistic.
The pansy bowl I just made was a freebie from dainty stitches; you'll find it here.
You may like to check out her freebie page too for other beautiful FSL designs. Miems is very generous!
I enjoy reading your blog a lot, you're in my Bloglines list so I don't miss on any entry now! :o)
