I like my postie and other tales :)

Helloooo every one ... hope you have all had a fabulous week ..... mine started well with some fabulous postie days and then it has gone a wee bit down hill as I have now got a cold ATCHOOOOOOOO .....*wipes screen clean ...lol ....
any hooo if you are brave enough to sneak in the kitchen ....there is plenty of goodies to go with your cuppas .... help yourselves :)
thank you every one for your lovely comments on my room ... you are all welcome to come for a visit and bring your stitching ... and your finishing too if you want to peruse my stash for inspiration etc etc etc ....
Master Bentley is still being a diva after his photo shoot ...lol and demands his ears brushed , a cuppa on a Sunday morning and extra meaty chunks in his food hahahhahh
I have been busy stitching more this week ... the added advantage of having a cold I got banished to my craft room today so got one RR finished and another started (in between  was a mouse nap ...lol) and I have also done more on my Jingle all the way ... but forgot to take an up to date photo ... will remedy that for next visit :) also my exchange piece for Ann arrived safely and I can now show you what I stitched for her and what she did with it too :)
sooo are you excited to hear what the postie brought me?????.......................................................................................................................
my first two squares for my stitcher's memory quilt for my big 50 birthday end of January next year .....
The first one arrived Tuesday from Annette California Stitcher with some goodies in the package too ... some lovely tea to try .... some seeds to plant for next year and some threads to kit up my latest charts she had seen I had bought as well as a wee needle holder ....and she stitched me the mouse from the Tailor of Gloucester.... she wrote a lovely wee note about how the book had been put in a safe place and she knew she had to find it as it would be perfect for the quilt  and she was right :) Thank you sooo much again  Annette :)
The next wee package was from Sally  she stitched me a spot of tea by Teresa Wentzler .whoops sorry Dragon Dreams ........ wonder where she got that I love tea from hahahahaha .... and she stitched me a wee mouse on a sledge for me to hang up for Christmas ... think it will be hung up all year as it is adorable :) I can't wait to get started on the quilt now .... have a few ideas running through my head as to how it will look ... always subject to change until I really start on it :)
We have had some lovely autumnal days round here atm but I can feel the air changing and the geese have started to form again ... signs that winter will be soon upon us .....that and the clocks went back an hour last night .... loved the extra sleep I got ... can we try again tonight too ...lol 
ok doke I had better get some photos up before I have another sneezing attack ....
