Corners of my home and my new friend Ami

Is Thursday Favorite Corners day? I haven't posted a favorite corner in a while and couldn't remember. I'm posting this corner today because it has a new resident.

Meet Ami. Her name means friend in Japanese. She was a gift from my friend LLA. What a way with words this lady has. And it's no wonder with all the books she reads. How does she find time to make so many precious little bears? I don't know but I'm so happy she surprised me with my very own A is for ... bear. A is for Ami. You can see in the picture that Miss Ami is hungry and I caught her trying to eat this entire chocolate cake. I don't blame her, just look how yummy it looks with its perfect icing and delicate flowers. It was made by the talented hands of Grace. She is the daughter of Vicki (Turkey Feathers).

The well dressed bear and tiny cake are sitting on a shelf in my sewing room surrounded by other wonderful handmade items that I have purchased or have been gifts from other bloggers. I love looking at each of these treasures and thinking of the hands that made them. I also have two memo boards full of cards and other little items from my new found friends from all over the world.

And because the first shelf doesn't hold all of my ever growing collection, I have a shelf on the other wall. I may have to add more shelves, but I don't mind.

These pictures can be viewed at flickr with notes.

Oh - she looks so happy!
(I knew she would be, and that was before I knew you'd feed her cake! And such adorable cake, too...)

I love that corner. The colors are so nice. All the special things are what make it great though. Love that bear and the cake!

What a lovely corner and a lovely wee bear too! I can't believe the detail in that cake either, just amazing.

Such a nice corner, how can you not be inspired by all that? When I get around to finishing my sewing studio I want to to the same thing. See, now you're inspiring me to get my room done!

I love that corner and that shade of yellow! I think your pictures brought me to the tipping point with memo boards. I really need to get some to hang all the cute cards I get!

A lovely corner for you to share. It looks so fresh. That little bear will need a squeeze now and then.

I love you corner, so very organized, clean and pretty. I am now going to work and thinking of ways to make my sewing/crafting room a little more lovely to look at. I usually work in chaos but am going to try and change my ways!!!!!!

What a lovely sewing room! I just got some anchcors last night to put some shelves up in my room. Now I just need to find the time. I love the thread on the shelf - very pretty.

Ami is fabulous! Where did you get the white frame that "Life is Evergrowing" is in?

[Amy]

What a fun corner -- like a non-virtual (ie: real) blog world. :-)

And I think your quilt turned out lovely.

What a lovely corner! LLA does make a lot of those beautiful bears, she is quite amazing.

And I do not blame Ami one bit for eating that cake. It looks delicious!
