Today is Chris' birthday and she has been very naughty and opened her present from me last night! LOL! I will let her off though as I know she goes to work quite early in a morning and wouldn't have had time this morning! Happy Birthday my dear friend!
Anyway I chose to stitch LHN Holly and Berries for her as I saw it on her wish list so decided to make it into a pinkeep type finish with a pocket on the back. I added some scissors to match the red and took the bird motif to make a little scissor fob. I am so pleased that she likes it:) I had to hide this when she visited last Friday as I was still stitching it!

I will save my other stitching bits ( WIPs) for another day. I have started my biscornu for the Basket of Biscornu blog and just have some beads to stitch on then I can sew it up:)
Take care everyone.
