As promised I'm back with pictures of the gorgeous Autumn colours biscornu exchange I received from Amanda. This was Amanda's first exchange and it was all so beautifully presented and the biscornu so beautifully stitched with a beaded edge. I will treasure this piece. The colours depict Autumn perfectly and it certainly brightened my day. So without further ado here are the piccies.
I just love everything in here and I have been truly spoilt. Thank you so much Amanda and thank you Hazel for organising this mini exchange.
We are all rather tired today so will make this post short. Next door had a party last night ( our new neighbours) and the music was loud and the kids were loud ( in the garden). Abi sleeps in the front bedroom so she got a good night's sleep, Jess said she still slept but DH and I had ear plugs in which made it more bearable so we did get some sleep. We both woke up several times as we could still hear the beat of the music. I think it stopped at about 4am so we were not too happy and I doubt a lot of people round here would be. Finger's crossed it was just a one off.
It's freezing up here today. We've been to the open day at Hull University with Jess and what a cold campus it is! Lol! The wind really blows around it! We listened to a talk about chemistry courses etc and had a tour of the chemistry department and were quite impressed with it. Jess wants to do a 4 year MChem course in Chemistry with Nanotechnology.
Well I'm going to try and get warm and maybe play on my DS for a bit before tea.
Hugs
