Lisa's Birthday Present!

Yesterday was Lisa's birthday ( Happy Birthday Lisa!) so I stitched this little freebie design, which came with the charts DH bought me for Christmas from Violarium) and made it into a floss ring tag. It was my first attempt at using the Crop-o-dile I got for Christmas and, wow, it's so much easier than using a hammer! LOL!

Stitched for Lisa


Last night I finished up some secret stitching so now I can start my biscornu for the Basket of Biscornu SAL then my ornament for the Christmas Ornament SAL and my SB needleroll for my SAL with Chris!

Chris and I met up again yesterday after the failed attempts before Christmas! Chris' car behaved and got her here and back home without a hitch! We had cuppas and a good old natter and we showed each other what we were stitching. Her BRD Sealed With a Kiss is gorgeous as is the SB needleroll she's stitching. I look forward to our next meet up:)

I received a couple of needleroll charts from Barb ( no blog) yesterday so thank you Barb. She is as addicted to them as I am and kindly offered to send me the ones she had stitched that I didn't already have. She also sent a lovely SB kit that I plan to stitch as a gift:)

And I have been naughty today. I am not supposed to be buying charts this year but as I was sorting through my bookmarks and deleting those I don't want anymore I came across Country Cottage where I used to buy from regularly. Shirley is retiring so is in the process of reducing all her stock and I found A Most Noble Persuit reduced and as I've been wanting it and it's a good price on sale I have ordered it! Better behave myself for a long time now and stitch from my stash!

Well I had better dash and get on with my making up as it will be tea time before I know it and the girls' and DH's tummies will be rumbling! Lol!
