Lani's Morning Glories (with Finishing)

Melita is going to take a finishing class from Sue Parsons of West Coast Finishing so she dug around in her stash and found a three inch round ornament by Lani of flowers.  She had a little trouble identifying all the elements of the design but with Lani's help, she found it was morning glories and buds.

It looks like this design is discontinued but you'll have fun browsing Lani's website anyway.

Mopsey and the Giant Safety Pin

The title of this article sounds like it belongs to a work of fiction, but it's really Mopsey using a big safety pin to organize her thread cards.  Clever!
