"Sweet Sisters" Gift

My Sweet Sister

I received a belated birthday gift in the mail from my sister Jan (my only sister) that sent me over the moon.  She commissioned Suziqusthreadworks to create this beautiful art book that has felted pages to put my needles and pins.  I am very surprised I actually got the booklet, I know it was delayed in the mail coming from Australia, but more than that is the fact that my sister let it go.  See we have this habit of buying things for each other and then keeping them.  We don't live near each other so when we do get to visit I might say "Jan I really like that sweater you're wearing" and she'll say "well I bought it for you"  lol!

Go take a look at Suziqu's blogsite to see more of her fantastic works.

Here is one of my favorite pics of me and my sister as young girls.  The picture was blurry when taken and I don't know if there is anyway to make it clearer. The fact that it's from 1959 and aged a bit adds to the poor quality. But I love we're in the swing that hung from the big oak tree in our back yard growing up, wearing matching dresses my mother made us.

A sister is someone who loves you from the heart,

No matter how much you argue you cannot be drawn apart

Or my sister might prefer this quote: :-)

Big sisters are the crab grass in the lawn of life.  ~Charles M. Schulz
