Congratulations, CarolR  If you don’t know Carol’s awe-inspiring miniatures, please take the time to visit her blog.  Carol, please email me your snail mail addy and this little gift will be on it’s way.

From the bottom of my heart, I would like to say thank you to all who have taken part in the 5 giveaways held over the last 2 months. I have made good friends and discovered great sources of inspiration on your blogs. I have enjoyed this thoroughly and I look forward to continuing the great friendships I have developed.  It was so much fun, I will surely do this again some time. Many thanks to Marie-P, who started it all by inviting me to join her PIF.

Giveaway No. 5

The last, and certainly not the least, giveaway … some of you may recognise as the freebie Quaker Time by Gencat (Lune d’Automne) .  I’ve finished it into an octagonal shaped hanging ornament.  My poor photography may fool you into thinking that it’s been stitched with black thread, but I’ve actually stitched with DMC 930, a very elegant grey/blue and one of my all time favourite colours. Take a peak at what’s looking for a new home…

Unbirthday Gift – Thank You Barbara!

I put in on Barbara’s blog to participate in her unbirthday giveaway and look what the postie brought this afternoon!

Thank you so very much, Barbara. We share a love of tea for sure, and this cushion is especially special because it’s my first tea-themed stitching. I’ve already enjoyed some of the tea included in the back pocket of the cushion.

Happy Dance
