Biscornu Exchange

I received my biscornu from my partner in the S&S Secret Biscornu Exchange and what a beauty it is so huge thanks to my partner ( I know who she is but it has to remain secret until next week. Bit difficult to keep it secret when A; you have to send them recorded delivery and B; you've known the person for years!!) as I love it! She also included some postcards ( I collect them) and some counting pins which she makes herself. I can't show the one I sent until partners have been revealed.

On the stitching front Sunday evening I stitched on Blackbird Designs Rites of Spring which I am really enjoying. It's so easy to stitch and so pretty. I am tempted to follow Mary Kathryn's idea of finishing it as a stitcher's wallet but I shall see when I actually finish it!

Monday night, as always, was A Quaker Christmas night! My little bit of Christmas in the middle of Summer ( well if you can actually call it Summer but at least it's not too hot!)! Still loving this piece and never really want to put it down.

Last night was HAED TT SAL on the HAED forum so my letter J came out. I still can't quite believe just how much I can get done on this in one night as on others I've done I couldn't even get it done in one week! Lol! I do love the way it's stitching up and, hopefully, page one will be completed in a couple of weeks.

That's all the stitching I can show for now. I posted a random PIF today so will show that once it's been received. I can now start on my last round of PIFs:) I should get to know who my partner is for the S&S Redwork Exchange and that will be secret until it has been received which is much better I think.

Abi is still under the weather. We came to the conclusion that not only was her hayfever bad she also has cold which is making her feel really ill. She's also having "problems", really silly things, with a couple of friends. She had to come back this morning because she'd forgotten her PE kit and she'd got herself so worked up. She said she was sick of them being the way they have been with her and she still didn't feel very well. It's a good job it's not long to the Summer holidays. Anyway I made an appointment for her to see the doctor after school today, when I went for my repeat blood test this morning.

Looks like it's going to be a rather wet afternoon here so it may well be a stitching afternoon! Although I'll be making a quiche for tea before I do any stitching:)

Hope you are all having a wonderful week.

Hugs
