Saturday was a really bad day illness wise I stayed in bed for the most part and that is very unlike me ..... the good bit though was my lovely postie brought me two parcels :)
one from Elisa which was our private spring exchange , and I can now show you mine to her ... was a lovely pin keep with Bent Creeks Spring house on it, stitched beautifully in the recommended threads ..... the funny thing was I almost did the same for her too heheheh ..... I stitched Elisa Spring by Lizzie *kate with gast threads and anchor threads that I thought looked pretty with each other :)
the other was a RAK from Becky SC which is a beautiful scissor/ needle tin stitched with a lovely blue bird on it .... hang on while I go and find her details of it ....... zooommmm ho hum just scrolled through a load of posts to find she says blue bird magnetic needle and scissor holder heheheh just what I said ...lol

sooo when you are ill, what do you do ????
I curled up under my noo noo blankie as we call them and got out some stitching and finished my second crazy Winter Band Sampler by LHN wooo hoooo and I also worked on there is a garden by homespun elegance and am about 3/4 of the way done on that tooo :) and just because I was ill I treated myself to a new start .... well you just have to don't you ??? my birthday present of DJ .... Needle and thread by LHN :)
On Thursday before I became ill I went to stitching group at Bev's house and worked on Pumpkin cottage and got some more done on that and took a photo of the buns she made before they got eaten too heehhehh ....

Hope you are feeling better soon. Lots of lovliness there to help you on the road to recovery xx
Good for you, Mouse, to start something new. It is definitely a step on the road to recovery from the "creeping crud". I love the parcels you received. How amazing to receive something from Becky SC. It's beautiful!! And your pinkeep from Elisa is sweet as can be, too! Enjoy your pretty spring flowers. I'm sure we'll have some here in the next month or so! : )
Hope you feel better soon. Lovely gifts sent and received. Great stitching.
Do hope you're feeling more mouse-ish and less frog-ish, mouse :) Love your daffodils and that pretty crocus! Oh...and while you were under your noo-noo, who was playing with young Master Bentley? oooo and yummy looking buns there!
Love all the stitchy bits - your little tin is just lovely! When I grow up I'm going to learn how to do that:)
Sorry to her you have been under the weather recently. Hope you are better soon. The wonderful stitches you received should help you on the mend.
What lovely gifties! I am sure that really brightened your sick days. Hope you are better now.

sorry you're not feeling well I hope you feel better soon. I like all the stitching you got done.
I'm laughing that you call those buns. I would have expected rolls if you had said that, those are cupcakes. ;)
Glad that you are feeling better. You did get a lot done. Beautiful finish. Love all the gifties.
Sorry to hear you've been ill Mouse, glad you are feeling better now. Some great stitching there, Winter Band sampler is particularly gorgeous, and some lovely gifts recieved.

Hope you feel better soon *passes the lemsip, I ate the last bourbon biccies to btw lol
Love the exchange pieces and how funny if you'd both done the same piece for each other. I think when your ill a new start is mandatory, it cheers you right up lol.
Well done on getting the band sampler finished I do love it on that fabric.
Aww...there's nothing so sad as an ailing mouse! Get better soon!
WOW...a post FULL of lovely stiching.
Oh and those buns are making me want a snack!
I hope you feel better very soon.

I saw a ladybird last week in our garden and was thinking it was very early.
19C one day last week and then this morning we had a frost. Crazy weather no wonder there are so many colds around.
Hope you feel better very soon.
Love all of your stitchings...
Take care my Dear Mouse

Aww, sorry to hear you've been unwell, hope you're feeling better. Love all the stitchy gifts, they must have cheered you up. Your spring flowers are very cheerful, we have the first signs of the daffodils just beginning to pop through the earth which is very early for us. Big cuddles to Bentley!
I love the stitching you have done !

So many lovely pictures in this post...I just adore spring flowers, mine are flowering too. I enjoyed our exchange, your tin from Becky is divine xx
Hope you have a speedy recovery Mouse, how awful but know what you mean a lot of stitching time lol.
That's what I did in Feb. Your little pinkeep present is adorable, and Becky's present too!!
The daffs and crocus are lovely.
In fact the whole post is great!!
Keep well!
I'm glad to hear you are feeling better...and I know it's about time I stopped by and got an eye full from your blog!! Love the spring exchange pieces...you do such a nice job finishing!! Love the RAK you received too! I'm glad you were spoiled while you weren't feeling well, that's the best time to pamper yourself! Enjoy stitching your present! *Hugs*
I sure hope that while I'm writing this you are feeling better! It seems a couple of stitchers are sick this week :( I bet you've been drinking tea with honey and lemon like mad!!
Aw ladybugs! Funny I saw one yesterday on the road! I helped her over to the grass! Gorgeous crocuses...love spring!!
Beautiful exchanges you received and your WIPs are lovely. I'm really loving that pin you used for Elisa's pillow. Where does one get fancy pins? Or do you make them? How does one go about that?
HUGS!!
Great, the Winter Band sampler. Enjoy all your lovely goodies that you received. And I hope that you already feel much better by now.
Lovely pics of everything! Great progress on your stitching, nice exchanges and sweet flowers! What a lovely post!
