Hi every one :) I was a very happy little mouse when the post man called today as I received a lovely RAK from  Karen in my favourite colours :0 beautifully wrapped .. I didn't want to undo it  but I was very brave ..lol and here it is :)..... it really is sooo cute and I adore it ..... thank you very much Karen ......

RAK from karen :)

ok while I remember JO .. the fabric is a solitaire from http://www.sparklies.co.uk and the colours are my choice .. I did a floss toss on the fabric and these are the ones that looked best (Anchor threads) the colours have changed since I bought these over 8 years ago and luckily I managed to get some to match in with mine PHEW as I was going to run out.


I have been busy catching up with my SALs and have done the stitches on my Stitcher's  book from Val's sal on http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/Friendly_Stitchers  today while the rain was really bucketing down on the conservatory roof .. it was soooo loud I missed the kettle boiling DOH !!!! heheheh

any way here it is ..... this is done on another of the Sparklies fabric in my collection ... can you tell I like it ..lol .... she is going to be at Harrogate this year too HURRRAHHHHH I can stock up on some more hopefully, if no on else on my group gets there before me on the day heheeheh;)


I have worked on the Natures Beauty today as well as I had some free time and here is the progress I have made .. I really do like the conversion colours I've done with this one .. from DMC to Anchor it looks more muted and sampler like :)

so with out further ado here it is :)........
I have changed the colour of the fence completely as the white charted doesn't show up to well on the white fabric .. it was the only 32 count I had in when starting the challenge ...... DH has just made me a cuppa :) bliss 


right what's next ??? ohh yes I have been doing a wee bit of de weeding in the mouse house garden ... when the birds drop the seeds on my gravel patch I end up with all sorts of weird and wonderful things sprouting , beans, corn and a few I don't recognise so I donned on my gloves , got the trowel and got rid yippee ... I tend not to put much food out in the summer as I prefer to put it out when times are hard .. I do how ever always have water out for them to drink and they can get a bath in the waterfall in the pond if need be :)
well I think this all the news for now but I can't leave without a photo of a flower now can I ..lol ..... the million bells between our gardens has flowered again only two at the moment but I managed to get one in the sunshine soooo here it is :)

looking into next door 

so there you are till next time :) take care one and all and happy stitching love mouse xxxxxxx
