I managed to find some time this week to finish off these two Halloween pieces I recently stitched. Not may people decorate their homes at Halloween here in Scotland but there are so many cute designs I couldn't resist stitching a few.
I forgot to post this picture in my last post of these gorgeous gifts I received for my Birthday from Cathy. I just love the purple tones in the bracelet. Thank you so much Cathy.
This is the pillow and goodies I sent to Cathy for our Autumn exchange. The pillow design is from Heart in Hand Wee Autumn. It was a very cute stitch and I am glad to say Cathy is delighted with it.
I sent this little RAK to Nia a few weeks ago. I thought she might like this new Christmas special magazine and some DMC threads to complete her collection.
I got a wonderful surprise this week when this wonderful package of goodies arrived from my dear friend Elaine in Wisconsin. How spoiled am I with all those pretty Halloween fabrics and cute buttons. I couldn;t stop smiling when I also unwrapped three of my favourite things. The gorgeous Jack Sparrow, a darling snowman and the most adorable little cow ever. Aren;t stitching friends just the best. I am also so delighted for Elaine as the gorgeous Pumpkin design published in the magazine in the picture was designed by herself. Congratulations Elaine ,I can;t wait to see many more and thank you so much for sending me such sweet gifts.
I have been really busy this week and once again I am way behind on emailing and blogging. I decided last week-end to clear out my stash cupboard which is part of the built-in-wardrobe in my bed-room. Good idea at the time but hubby then decided we should just go ahead and clear out the whole cupboard. A job that I was expecting to take a few days is now going into its second week. No time to stitch or read , I just don't know how I am going to survive..lol. Hope everyone elses needles are busy , busy , busy and I look forward to catching up on my blogging once again and seeing all those new finishes. Hugs!
