Friendship is right up there with the greatest treasure in our lives, don't you think? I blogged a few weeks ago about a lunch I had with my blog friends, Taci, Gracie & Betsy. Taci showed us this cute little sheep she crocheted, and I mentioned that one of our other blog friends, Meredith (from Florida), loved sheep. SO, Taci sent Meredith one of her sheep! How sweet is that? SO, Meredith sent Taci these darling little wool felted heart pins she made, and added 3 extras for Taci to give to Gracie, Betsy and I! How utterly generous and thoughtful of Meredith!! (To visit these lady's blogs, click on their names.) So.... since Taci had her gifts for us, we set up another lunch today. Now, if you're like me, it doesn't take too much urging to go out to lunch. :-) Below is my heart pin, thank you Meredith!! ((hugs))
Gracie's birthday is soon - so Taci gave her a gift - a crocheted mug cozy!! Isn't that cute? I brought gifts too - I gave the girls each a half dozen freshly laid eggs from our hens. They were pleased!
I made these two hearts yesterday while Dayle watched the Super Bowl. The one on the left is Lucy's design from Attic24 blog. She has the pattern on her site. The one on the right is one I found on the net and I'm not sure where.. but if you want me to send you the pattern.. let me know.
While I was working on my hearts, these two piled on my lap. Sheesh! Silly fur kids!
You just gave me the biggest smile, I am so glad you had a great time at lunch. And seeing my felted heart in your beautiful hands is perfect. You ladies are the best.
ReplyDeleteSending you a hug, Meredith
Just look at your fur babies! Awwww, that pic makes me smile. Love all your hearts. I overdosed on hearts the first year I was crocheting...it was the second thing I learned to do! And do it I did...over and over and over again! I do love them though! They're all stashed in my attic. Really should venture up there and dig them out. They look pretty in a big crystal bowl together! Have fun at lunch! You crack me up! Hugs, Annette.
ReplyDeleteLove the hearts and gifts to blog buddies and good friends is always special ☺

Hi Teresa. What a weetheart Meredith was to send her darling felted hearts to all of you! And seeing all of the gifts you gave to one another was so fun! I love to gift my friends with fresh eggs and bounty from our trees too. The best gift of all between you though, is your growing friendship! What a blessing!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Kris
Looks like you had a really nice time with your friends at lunch and I couldn't help but notice that we have similar fur kids! In fact they are almost identical! I have a little Yorkie and a Himalayan kitty that are always on my lap too while I'm knitting. It ranks right up there with lunch with friends!! :-)
ReplyDeleteWell Teresa, it's always such a nice and fun time when we get together. Thank you so very much for the eggs. My kids and my husband are thrilled and I'm showing a picture of your chickens to them... What a special gift. I loved Gracie's card and button also... You ladies are so fun and thoughtful. I'm sure glad we have met and have a friendship that is growing so beautifully. Loves.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you three had a WoNdErFuL time without me. :-(. Seriously I'm very, very happy you had fun but really wish I could have been there too. Maybe next time. Your hearts are beautiful Teresa. I love the one from Meredith next to yours.
ReplyDeleteI'm feeling MUCH better tonight. 12 days was long enough for the Ickes, don't you think?
Blessings,
Betsy
How fun. I love the little heart pin you were wearing. I hope you have fun at your next lunch. Talk to you soon. Kashi.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post, those hearts are just wonderful. Your silly fur kids are too cute as well. x
ReplyDeleteYou're so lucky to be able to meet up with your bloggy friends. I'm very impressed with the Taci's top and coat. Did she make them herself? What fun to exchange small gifts when you meet. Teresa, I love the look of your little dog - wonder what he was thinking when that shot was taken? xoxox
ReplyDeleteHi Teresa, I sort of feel like I know you as I see you pop up on Gracie's blog and Taci's, and commenting on other blogs I visit too. Isn't this wonderful world of blog just amazing for the connections we make, and the friends!
ReplyDeleteYour furbabies are so cute!!! I end up with at least one cat and two dogs on my lap when I settle in to do a bit of crochet!!
ReplyDeleteI love the hearts and your pins. So appropriate for February!
What a lovely time you had Teresa and such wonderful gifts you all gave each other.
ReplyDeleteI too had a gift this week from a follow blogger it will be on my blog later. There are some truly kind people out there. Have fun at lunch with your friend and sisters.
I went to sugarcraft today have had my hair cut and professionally dried this afternoon. This evening DH and I are going out to an Italian restaurant for dinner. Lovely things planned for rest of week more later . Love Anne x
I am so HAPPY that you have these lovely ladies to meet with :) I knew you'd find a group! Hope you enjoy each other as much as I enjoy my girls!
ReplyDeleteAnother fabulous lunch with the blog gals. What fun to have some close by. Your postings do make me smile.
ReplyDeleteWhat a kind and generous gesture from Meredith, to include all of the blogging buddies! Those felted hearts are just lovely!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you have such fun together! I wish I could join you, but it's a looong way from Alaska!
What a lovely post, it's so nice that you have much such great friends through blogging :) I saw the sheep Taci sent to Meredith on her blog and thought how lovely it was! Elisabeth xx
ReplyDeleteAh yes, the lap full of fur when you're trying to crochet. They are sweeties. And I know your friends were thrilled with the fresh eggs. What a treat.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely Teresa, it must be wonderful to meet for lunch....there is a lot of love there ;0) Keep on hugging and Happy Tuesday, Jane x
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice that you were able to meet blog friends! I hope to do that someday myself. The ladies did such beautiful work. I love your cat and dog, they're beautiful and so loyal to you. :)
