Oh so wonderful...
...to be home and blogging again. Enormous thanks to everyone for your sweet and caring messages and prayers for my DIL. Things are still very sad and very hard and I'm moving back and forward between Sam's and our home with sickies at both places but that was never what I meant this blog to be about so I plan to get back to the positive and keep this blog about my passion for stitching and about all the wonderful happenings in blogworld.
I was incredibly lucky to have my darling friend Shez as my partner in a Dresden Plate theme swap and I received the most awesome gifts. There was also a truly beautiful book, which I've lent to a friend but will photograph later.
Thanks so much Shez. I adore my gifts - so very me.
I plan to join in the Friday Night with Friends sewing evening. Hope you can too. Pop over to Gone Stitchin' and sign up.
Next time I see Shez it will be at the Mill Rosie gathering where the swap is a sewing set. This pincushion could become the theme for something brilliant.
I found it and it's fabulous instructions at Crafts Beautiful. Just follow this LINK to find the pattern.
Happy stitching
Love
