It is such fun to receive mail and my box had two surprises on Monday , first off a postcard from
Lin , a delightful little Christmas Tree .
Thanks so much
Lin , so thoughtful of you , I love it !!
I also received a Christmas card from
Michelle with a little surprise inside , her pocket Minis .
I have already traced off a little snowman and I know I will enjoy stitching this cute design . Thanks so much Michelle , it was very thoughtful of you .
I had signed up for Friday Night with Friends and I did stitch along but I am rather late in reporting , I had a busy weekend and just didn't find the time to do that , sorry
Cheryll . So what did I stitch , well I had made a few small things for my grandchildren , two little mugrugs first off .
These were part of a panel that I thought was so darn cute I just had to buy it . The last time I gave the girls a mug rug Elise wrapped up her stuffy in it so I thought I best make him a proper quilt , poor little Rocko needs to be completely covered .
Nothing fancy just some 2.5"squares sewn together with a puppy dog border and cross hatched but it should keep him nice and snuggly and Elise will be happy too .
On Sunday evening I finished up this stitchery I had traced off before my trip to Ireland with great plans to stitch it while over there , haha , great plans don't always work out , never took one stitch .
This is a pattern by Kaaren Johnston of
the Painted Quilt , thanks Kaaren for a great stitchery . I plan on making this into a pillow top eventually .
I best run I have a hair appointment this morning that I really need , the locks are getting pretty shaggy . Thanks for stopping by today and have yourself a creative day in someway .
hugs Sheila
