A wonderful surprise came from across the pond :)

Hi all :) I have been doing a small happy dance all day and drooling rather lady like over a parcel that came to me from over the pond and arrived safely today at the mouse house :)


What can I say but a HUGEEEEEEEEE thank you to DJ for sending me this birthday parcel ..... we were chatting weeks ago about how we can't get the same kind of fabric over here for the LHN  charts and I had struggled to get some that was near to what was recommended for the charts I was doing for the 15 day challenge ... and knowing how much I like the charts she said would I like to borrow a few and send back once I had  stitched said charts ...... well of course I couldn't refuse and offer like that .... and any she wants to do the same from me, she only has to yell loudly ... well she does live an awful long way from me hehehehe


so with out further ado here is the said parcel goodies ..... 

Goodies from DJ

There was a letter enclosed (reply will be done soon . once mopped up ..lol) saying which fabric was used for which charts and that she had sent the Christmas ornaments 2010 magazine "just because" she said .....


I can't tell you how blessed I am with my friends and how spoilt I have been for my birthday and there is still something else to come too :)


I've even managed to squeak some more stitching in ... I've managed to put the door almost in the "home of a needleworker" one of my UFO's after the frog came to visit twice ... I managed to stitch a whole row one thread out !!!!!  not done a photo update as its really not worth showing just yet ..lol 


But I have worked on Natures Beauty LHN one of the 15 challenges and I am really loath to put this one down now as I have really enjoyed stitching it .... I took a progress picture but please note the fabric is really antique white linen not creamy yellow tungsten colour ..lol.....


The only change to this one is the fence colour is supposed to be white but I have changed it to a creamy yellow colour so that it shows up as white doesn't seem to want to ..lol..... It is stitched on a darker colour on the original but I didn't have any that would do it ......soooo here it is for you :)

Natures beauty LHN

so there you are for tonight ... I will try and get a better picture for you of the Natures Beauty ... tomorrow hopefully :)


Thanks again DJ (HUGS)  


happy stitching every one and I shall catch up with you all again soon .... 
love mouse xxxxxx
