Per Our Hostess:
"The FIFTH and final One World One Heart
will begin on SUNDAY NIGHT January 30TH
(MIDNIGHT THE END OF THE 30TH)
and run until February 17, 2011
(when winners are posted / announced).
One World One Heart is a
worldwide event for bloggers only.
It gives all those who blog a chance to meet
and mingle and form connections with those
they may not have otherwise met from all over the world.
In the past 4 years this event has grown
to over 1,000 participants
with lasting friendships
(and even one love connection)
formed along the way.
Think of it as a GIGANTIC open house
allowing you to travel
without ever leaving your home........
going from blog to blog
(in various countries)
seeing the wonder each one has created
and meeting all the fabulous people
behind those blogs.
As a bonus each blogger participant
will offer up a "door prize or prizes"....
just for dropping by,
saying hello and seeing their world.
It's really that easy."

I blog as "lelia"
and enjoy tatting, reading,
punch needle, locker hooking,
needlework, and other creative
arts using textiles.
Am inspired by visiting galleries,
exhibits, art museums.
My favourite thing to do is visit
local county fairs & the state fair!
Looking forward to your
comments + links to your blogs!
Always, Lelia

The bunny pictured above
was a gift from GF Sue (w/o blog)
Oh, she knows me so well.
Cute bunny things delight me - perhaps Spring bunnies make me smile
thinking about the end of WINTER weather .... ice + snow are dreary.
In addition to the cute bunny angel,
she gave me a candle mat kit
Bunny Hop Candle Mat
I have a 'collection' of wool patterns and kits started.
Our EGA Chapter is having a candle mat class this spring. GF Beth (w/o blog) will be teaching us.
(I cannot wait for the class)
Beth gave me these lovelies:
Knowing I was going to learn wool techniques, I found some fun stuff (on sale):
Bunnies Mat
pattern + kit with wool felt
Coral Blossoms Needlework Set
pattern
Hearts + Flowers mat
pattern.
Goodness. I hope I enjoy making these up!
I certainly have a nice collection of patterns + wools to use.
Just waiting for the class to begin.
I have friends who enjoy beading.
And they have so much talent!!!
They take classes - teach classes.
Recently, I was gifted with this
stunning blue + yellow crystal braclet
from GF Debbie (w/o blog).
It is stunning!!!
GF Pat gave me
these awesome hand dyed
silk ribbons
and a new silkie.
Don't you just love the
expression on the face???
Visit Pat on her blog
Pat Winter's Gatherings
for lovely textile gifts.
Her silk ribbon embroidery
and crazy quilting are
delightful eye candy!!!
thx so much!
I enjoy her silks as they
are a perfect weight and the colors
are spectacular.
She also sells her textiles in
art fire and
etsy
stores.
Isn't this a beautiful tatted heart?
I was so happy to receive this in the mail!
It was made by CathyB's Mom.
