Check out this little bit of sweetness!! A while back, I won a giveaway from Arctic Mum. Mali lives in Norway, near the North Pole. I think she's related to Santa because she sent me this gorgeous pillow (she calls it a cushion, isn't that cool?!). It is made with a Norwegian style of embroidery called Hardanger. You can read her post about it here. I really love this 'cushion' and I will be auditioning it in several places around the house for just the right spot. I want to make sure it gets noticed but I would rather the kitties don't nap on it. My friends are right when they tell me I'm a 'wiener'! I really should buy a lottery ticket. I can't believe I haven't won the HGTV dream house yet. Maybe next year, huh?
I hope you all had a nice Easter. We slept with the windows open last night. I LOVE that! I have something special to show you soon, just have a little finishing up to do. Toodles!

  1. I used to do hardanger embroidery, but never did it with that particular yarn/thread... looks like it has a little sheen..pearl cotton, perhaps?
