I have no stitching of my own to share today but I just had to do a blog post and show this gorgeous PIF gift I received yesterday:)
I signed up for Monique's PIF not that long ago and yesterday I received the most gorgeous project bag from her. I absolutely LOVE it, will treasure it and use it ever so gently. Monique stitched a Quaker design and stitched the initials of me, my DH and my two daughers on it:) It is so beautifully stitched and finished. Thank you so much Monique.{{{{hugs}}}} It was a pleasure being one of your PIF victims recipients. I hope you received the email I sent yesterday.
I started a breast cancer awareness freebie for the S&S Otober SAL challenge yesterday then found out I have until tomorrow to finish it and make it up! I thought I had another week! Duh! Oh well I might get it finished today then make it up in the morning maybe. I'm not going to tell you what I'm stitching but it's a lovely design:)
I finished up a little The Sampler Girl freebie but I can't show it yet. I need to finish it off and send it to it's new home before then. It was a fun stitch.
My JCS ornament magazine was posted to me yesterday and I'm so miffed to find that postie hasn't brought it today. Some of the ladies have got theirs today so I am saying " Stupid Royal Mail" in my best Homer Simpson sulky voice! I was so looking forward to relaxing with a cuppa and reading it. Something to look forward to in the post maybe on Monday but I won't hold my breath. I guess that's what you get for living in a rural area although sone finishing fabric I bought on Ebay yesterday has arrived!
Thank you for all your good wishes for Abi. She still isn't 100% and looks so washed out and tired. We are hoping she'll be feeling a lot better in a few days as it's half term here next week. We got some work for her from school and she was disgusted to see the amount of Maths she had. She got Maths, Chemistry and English. She did the chemistry and Maths on Thursday morning then at lunchtime Jess came home with more Maths for her as the stuff she'd been sent the day before was the wrong one! As you can imagine she was not very happy!
I am going to go see if I can finish my BCA freebie now! It's cold and miserable here so a good time to stitch!
Take care everyone!
Hugs
