Received a GiveAway From Faye!

I have cactus and a finish to show off but first up is the giveaway I won from Faye ~ Yay!  I was lucky enough to win this zippered pouch made by Faye.  It came in beautiful red wrapping and had Faye's original business card attached - great job on those cards, Faye!  Faye not only creates darling pouches but she's also available for finishing as well. 

I LOVE this pouch from the color and pattern to the inside lining to the bird-in-a-cage zipper clasp!  I've already filled it with a new pattern I picked up in the bay area called Cottage Charm Stitcher's Pocket from Milady's Needle.  What a great way to end a work week.  THANK YOU, FAYE!

 I don't know if it's age or what but I have become enamored with cactus in the last few years.  It all started when I saw a cactus the color of eggplant in Carmel and then began to notice them in pinks and lavenders.  If you're ever in Berkely, stop by the Cactus Jungle.  It's worth the visit!

 Last by not least, my latest finish!  I began this as part of the January 2011 Crazy Challenge.  My goal for 2012 is to go back and finish as many of the 15 as I can.  The pattern is Blessed Beyond Measure from Blue Ribbon Designs and it has it's own 3" square ruler.  I've added a hanging cord for storing it in view.
