Dawn used some adorable buttons from Theodora Cleave on her block. I've ordered mine and will add them when they arrive. The mug will go under where the steam is rising, with the teapot next to it sitting on the tablecloth.
I didn't do much stitching yesterday as I spent most of the day with two little mini pigs. This book made me laugh out loud. Charming, funny and heart-warming. I really recommend it.
I received presents today...
From lovely Lindi, who is my partner in a Squilters Christmas Stocking swap. They look very interesting indeed. I've given them a bit of a squeeze but can't guess what is inside. I must not open them until Christmas. Thank you so much Lindi, I'll try to be good and put them away.
I also received these adorable fabric packs from wonderful Jane at Want It, Need It, Quilt, my very favourite internet shop. Bargain prices, fabulous fabrics and the very best service imaginable. Thank you so much to my kind and generous friend Jane.

Lovely stitching Melody, and you will have to be disciplined to wait until Christmas!

Who would ever think a book about living with minipigs would be worth reading?! I'll have to check it out. Love your stitchery.
ReplyDeleteUpon reading your post, you make me remember my younger years. When I was in high school, we had a stitching project in our Home Economics subject. Since then, I began to love stitching.
ReplyDeleteYou're very creative.
