Thankfully my DH knew how to blur out my maiden name on my finish of I Sew'd My Heart and how to is now firmly lodged in my brain for the next time I need to do something like that! I had a little "Duh!" moment when I realised where I was going wrong:) Anyway I personalised it with my maiden name and added the year 1970 but I'm now thinking I should have stitched a later year. Did schoolgirls of old stitch samplers are the age of 7????

I have to say that I just love this piece and it is definitely my favourite finish this year so far. If you're interested in finding out about this design and how to obtain the chart please read here:) I don't know how I'm going to this yet. Any suggestions?
The two RAK's I entrusted to Royal Mail yesterday have safely reached their destinations. First off this little pin cushion arrived at the Mouse house.

RAK/ Thank You for Mouse.
Mouse kindly sent me some pretty pins so I stitched this up as a thank you for her:)
The second RAK went to Jane as she's been very much under the weather with a nasty chest infection. As soon as I saw this design I just knew I had to stitch it for her. Those of you who know Jane will know she has two of the cutest little bunnies called Tilly and Oscar so I thought this would be nice for her :)

RAK for Jane.
Mouse and Jane love their little gifts and that makes my day :)
I've got another piece all finished up from my finishing pile. My Feb ornament The Cat's Whiskers Joyeux Noel. Please excuse the dull photo.
I have been stitching on my WIPS SB The Journey and L*K 6 Fat Men but forgot to take photos of them so will save those for my next blog post.
Still catching up on blogs too so if I haven't got around to you just yet I will do soon.
I was intent on maybe doing a little stitching this afternoon but I guess I'd better do some housework instead!
Thank you to those of you who take time to read and comment on my ramblings :) It means a lot to me.
Until next time:)
With much love
Sally
