There was one very special moment for me this week... Caitlin our youngest grand daughter turned 15. along with her birthday gift I had added another little mouse to her embroidery set made for her previously.( This photo is some of her set)
The new piece was a floss ring tag and having said thank you grandma for the embroidery she stood there and just fingered the thread cards I think she knew just how long and how much precious energy it took her Granddad to cut them for her, he has also promised her the embroidery thread to put on them but she needs to decide for herself what threads and what colours.
I found floss ring tags through seeing them on peoples blogs and they are one of the most useful things I have and Í now have several. That is just one example of how through the world of blogging one gains new ideas and inspiration. I do enjoy reading your blogs and seeing what wondeful designs you have found and have stitched. Thank you everyone for your sharing.

I always enjoy reading your blog and have to say that the floss holder you made for your granddaughter along with the floss rings your husband cut is just adorable. I know your granddaughter will treasure the set forever. I have my grandmother's sewing machine and found an old measuring tape along with needle sets from the 50's and to me, it is priceless. I do hope the transfusions enhance your husband's quality of life. Blessings.
Such a wonderful gift! The plump, little mice are just adorable. I am praying for Paul.
Super darling & beautiful embroidery set. The floss tag you created is a perfect addition for Caitlin's set. So cute. What treasured gifts from Grandma and Grandpa. Your stitching and finishes Lee and works of Art.
Paul and you are in my prayers.
Tell Paul those tags look perfectly cut - Great job.
