I have also been working on Celtic Autumn and The Romantique SAL as well this weekend as I have been on my own as DD's 1 & 2 are in london for the weekend and DH is out and about doing his fire training stuff so there has just been me and the small furbabies and the birds twittering in the garden for company so got quite a bit done on the SAL after sticking the parts together then realising bits had been missed of when printed out eeeekkkk !!! and I had to wing it .. quite well I think really....lol ..... so here are the updates

So that is it for now I think ..... thanks for all who took part in my giveaway and my PIF .... if any one knows how to get in touch with Patti and Peggy can you tell them to contact me re the pin cushions .. I have sent them emails but not heard anything back and I would hate for them to miss out ...... If they haven't got in touch with me by next weekend then I will do a redraw .
Thanks every one ... off to go and put the kettle on and make another cuppa as its thirsty work typing heheheh ...

I think your competition piece is beautiful. Hope you win. Celtic Autumn is looking good also. I have the series also but they are languishing somewhere in my stash.
Your VS competition piece is fabulous. Celtic Autumn is coming on a treat now, I'll have to pop over and see it in the flesh ;-)
Fabulous finish on the Heart Tuffett and lovely WIP's progress too.
Wow...your competition piece is beautiful!
Oh Mouse, you've outdone yourself! Your competition piece is absolutely lovely!! And you must give Stew a peck on the cheek for me for choosing my name!! I'll have to give it some thought and e-mail you soon...and update my blog...again!! This will be too much fun!
Congrats to the PIF winners. Lovely progress on your wips. Gorgeous competition pieces.
Gorgeous, Mouse! I am just floored by your VS competition piece...and I can't stop staring at Celtic Autumn, she is amazing, I pulled Pa over to look at her too. I am loving your SAL, the fabric is beautiful and the colors are awesome.
Oh Mouse, you are so talented, and such a sweet friend....I really treasure you and your friendship, not to mention your comments...you keep me bright.

These little pillows are gorgeous!
Thankyou for the comment on my stitching tea party, however I did laugh when you said it would be a long way to visit across the pond, it would not take long at all because I live in England! Tee hee!!!!
