Some mail and some finishes

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

  8. Receiving mail is so much fun! I checked my mail as I left the island on Tues. and found the most delightful card in my post office box! Can't wait until we decorate our tree so I can put my beautiful new ornament front and center! You've been so busy! I need one day to recuperate from my long day of travel, then hope I become as busy as you! XO
