Ellen Anne Eddy's April 30 Visit and New Book

Our friend Ellen drove down from northern Indiana to deliver a copy of her newly published book, Tigrey Leads the Parade, to Mom.

As she did in Thread Magic, Ellen mentioned Mom in this book also.

Here's her first book, Thread Magic:

Mom, needless to day, was absolutely thrilled to see the finished product of her second book, as we had gotten to see the beginnings of the project when Ellen was here before in February 2009.

Ellen also brought fresh cut tulips from her garden.

And some homemade salve made from herbs from her garden.

and a really fun sweater!

We moved our visit from the dining room to the living room so Mom could introduce Ellen and her books to friends.

An added bonus of being downstairs was getting to enjoy this little furry fellow.
