Stitchery Finished

Just trying to get a head start on  my Christmas gift making this year.  Just finished this stitchery from The Birdhouse called "Christmas Angels" by Natalie Bird. 

THANKS AND BACK ON TRACK

Thank you everyone for your kind messages of condolence - much appreciated.  In my absence from the blogging world, I have received some lovely packages - an amazing blingy pincushion I received in the pincushion pass swap from Ciara in the USA - gorgeous colours, a sad faced puppy from ScottishNanna and a lovely bag and fabric I won from Kris' blog over at Life at Rosemary Hill.  There were also some yummy lollies and chocs included but can't show you those because they are long gone!  Thank you all - really made me happy to receive all these goodies - such clever crafty and generous friends.

Have been busy doing a bit of cross-stitch and smocking lately.  No articles finished but lots of UFO's.  Still going through my stuff I just had to get at the Sydney Quilt Show - lots more projects to get excited about - as if I needed any more...
