Happy New Year!

A Very Happy New Year to All My Followers.

I thought I would share with you the Christmas gifts I sent to my friend Mary Grace in Malta.  I sent her some Hobbycraft kits to stitch and she has already stitched them!   She has also reminded me that I did not share with you the Christmas Card I stitched for her in 2010.  So here they are:

What's new in 2012?  

• Well, I have got a new picture on the top of my blog, called "Kiss Me" which is designed by Margaret Sherry. 
• I have also joined a new blog group called "UFO/WIP Stitch-a-Long for MSCSG Group".  So I will be stitching lots of my "Un-Finished Objects" and  showing you my "Work In Progress". 
• I've also decided to start stitching for Christmas.  I was rather late starting last year and did not stitch as much as I wanted to.  

Until Next Time, Happy Stitching Everyone

SURPRISE!

I had a wonderful surprise phone call the other week, from my daughter saying that she had just got engaged.  So I have been busy stitching an engagement card especially for them.  All in her favourite colours, and here it is.

A surprise also awaited me this morning.  The doorbell rang and the postman had a small package for me.  I wondered what could be inside!  I soon opened it and found I had won a Giveaway from "Cross Stitcher Magazine".  Inside was 8 Christmas Cross Stitch kits and 2 packs of 10 cards to put my stitching in.
