Hello beautiful friends! This Sal is so much fun! I haven't done so many posts before everyday -lol!
Love getting to share with you my projects for this challenge. Thank you for your lovely comments.
Here's my new start for Day 3 (yesterday)...
This kit was given to me by
Hetti from the Netherlands. I am stitching this in memory of Nannie. The threads are softly scented of roses. I LOVE stitching with these threads so much. Every stitch I place breaks the scent open. Talk about stitching aromatherapy!!
I have plans to add some script into this design. Hard to see but I got the outline of the envelope done, and some petals of roses. On Hetti's blog she has offers many gorgeous free charts that she has designed, hope you have a look at her blog.
Saturday I received a envelope from Hetti! Yes the very same day I had already started stitching the kit she gave to me. Can you believe that? The same day I decide to stitch her kit and here I get mail from her!!! WOW! I was so surprised when I opened it. Hetti sent me two stunning lazer cut sparkly card/ornament. I have both of them on my stitchers tree. And she gave me a pretty skein of Nina's threads - Jingle Bells, scented DMC Chocolate thread. Hmm I have some ideas for this thread: Hot Cocoa or Valentine themed design.
And these darling super cute buttons. I think I am going to use them on a Christmas ornament finish. Just running ideas in my head. I love everything! Thank you so very much Hetti!!
With my love and appreciation - Annette

Such cute projects for 2015! I've never heard of scented threads - such a wonderful idea! Thanks for sharing; can't wait to see what's next! 😀
I've never heard of scented threads either! Roses give me headaches - which is really unfortunate. Beautiful project you're working on and how funny her package arrived the very same day. Love the buttons! You've gotten a fantastic start to your challenge.
Another great start. And what a lovely gift too!
What a great gift, those buttons are really cute and will be great for ornaments! I didn't even know they made scented threads. The rose deign will be as pretty as it smells!
Cute project Annette. I have never heard of scented floss. Sounds interesting. Love your gifts from Hetti.

That's a very cute design !! :) I have a scented yarn but I never heard of scented threads.
I've never heard about scented threads. It must be grat thing! Lovely project. Good luck with it.
Wow, such wonderful gifts from Hettei. Everything will be great for finishing purposes. And your new start is so lovely, too.
I bet that IS stitching aroma therapy :)
You are going gangbusters with your starts!
How pretty. I love that you are doing it for Nannie. I too have a scented caramel DMC floss from Michelle. I have never used it. I need to figure out what is best for it!
What wonderful gifts, & a great choice to honor your Nana : )
Love the buttons and your new start!!!!
Dear Annette, I am very glad you received the enveloppe ;-))
Sorry for the late answer, some internet problems. But I am very glad you like the gifts and I am really surprised that the scented DMC floss is unknown in the USA.
Big Hug and XXX Hetti
