Yesterday was my friend Fiona's ( no blog) birthday. We have known each other online for many years ( in fact I'm not entirely sure just how many!) and I wanted to stitch a little something for her. I decided on this little Lizzie*Kate freebie and finished it as a pinkeep type finish. I am very happy to say that Fi likes it :)

Birthday Gift for Fi
Now onto the next member of the stitcherhood:) It was an incredibly difficult choice but the travelling pattern will be on it's way to Lesleyanne:) Congratulations and welcome to the stitcherhood! I will get the chart out to you hopefully tomorrow. Don't forget to follow the travelling pattern to Lesleyanne's blog for your chance to become part of it next time:)
I finally got part 5 of the iStitch Mystery SAL stitched up just in time for part 6 coming out!
Friday evening I made a small start on the bonus chart on my BBD AotH piece and I continued with it last night. Unfortunately I realised that when I'd left the gap for the bonus chart I'd miscounted and hadn't left the gap I should have :( Thankfully it will still fit in but instead of being a three stitch gap at both sides there will be three at one and two at the other. I am so cross with myself especially as I'd stitched a line across the top! Obviously I cannot count:(
That's all from me for now. Not sure what I'm stitching on tonight. Either an SB ornament or Tra La La Duo Noel:) I need to catch on blogs too but think I will do that tomorrow now. It's been one of those weekends as my Dad has been without his phone due to a fault since Friday afternoon and no working phone line has meant no working Lifeline so we've both been very uneasy. After numerous phone calls to the phone company and a final angry one at 6.30 pm yesterday evening he finally got a working phone line at about 10 pm last night night BUT the phone kept ringing through the night keeping him awake so yet another call to them this morning! Keeping my fingers firmly crossed that it's all fixed now and he'll have no more problems. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday.
Take care everyone.
Love & hugs
Sally

What a darling gift for your friend. And a nice start to a new WIP!
Sally, I love the pinkeep, esp. the little flowers around the edge. Congratulations on your part 5 progress and the start of your BBD. Everything looks wonderful!
Great stitching Sally, the pinkeep is adorable. Congratulations to Lesleyanne
What a sweet gift! I'm so sorry about the counting error. Isn't it amazing how easy it is to get off by one?? Uggh! It will be marvelous anyway, I have no doubt!!
Thank you for choosing me Sally. Can't wait to join the sisterhood. Lovely gift for Fiona. Love the edging. Great new start on your BBD piece sorry about the counting error, something I seem to suffer from too. Hope your dad's phone is all okay now.
Lovely pinkeep finish Sally and your SAL looks very pretty, I wish I had signed up for that. AotH is looking good too, i'm sure the miscount won't be noticeable.
Hope your Dad's phone is sorted now.
Great gift from Fiona, your SAL is looking fab too xx
Sally love the pinkeep the edging really sets it off.
I have that cannot count bug too ,Mansfield Park is proving a real trial.
Oh I wish I had done the SAL with Carol now yours is so pretty.
See you tomorrow with the stocking.

very sweet gift for your friend :)
your sal is looking so cute..and i love your new start too..

The trim around 'Friendship Grows' is just adorable!
Oh Sally, that pinkeep is BEAUTIFUL!! I love that pretty flowered trim you used and I'm glad she loves it! What a great friend you are! Congrats to Lesleyanne for winning the pattern!
I didn't trust myself to leave the proper spacing for the bonus pattern, so I just waited until it came out to stitch it and make sure the spacing was correct. I still managed to mess up a border somewhere in mine. Yours is looking fabulous. Your iStitch SAL piece is also looking great.
What a sweet gift for your friend!! And your other stitches are coming along!
I love the gift for your friend! Love all your stitching as usual!
What a nice gift Sally. Sorry to hear about your counting woes. That can happen to me too no matter how many times I check something.
Super gift for Fi, i have stitched that design so many times over the years for friends.
Oh very beautiful !!
have a good time
Congratulations to Lesleyanne. Lovely pinkeep for your friend and as always a lovely update on your stitching.
What an adorable pinkeep! The trim you used is too cute. Good luck dealing with the phone company. That sort of stuff is never fun.
Thank you Sally again for the lovely gift. The picture does not do it justice. It is really beautiful. Love Fi xx
