Glad she loved everything!

Easter pixie for Annette

Hello girls =)
I hope everybody is fine...
Here is a close up on the needle book I made for Annette as a pixie parcel for the Easter exchange.

Annette is nicknamed 'Petite Anne' in French (when we add -ette to a word it means small / little)
It's a mouse I picked up form the Xmas scene All that glitters
I found it in the MS best of magazine, she is the mouse on the top of the sewing machine =)
A delight to stitch
Big hugs from France

SAL № 4 begin

My first puppy is ready, decided to embroider everything but while business goes not too quickly. And how at you?

Washing line

Hi girls =)

I hope everybody is fine and is enjoying sun & Spring as we're enjoying here
Last year I received Washing line as a birthday present from Hubby =)
Some weeks ago I decided to start it and it's now finished...
Over cute little mice don't you find ?

They are really tiny, I think they are the smallest one ever stitched !
I made or more precisely customized my basket for clothes pegs with it  =D
I'm in love...
If you want to see more pictures don't hesitate to have a look at my blog =D
Have a great day my friends from all over the world

SAL#3 Spring Cool Cat

I completed my SAL#3!!!

Here is my Spring Cool Cat:

I decided to finish all four cats into pillow cases.

Here goes the first one:

Honestly, I like how the fabrics match the stitching;)

Pixies to the rescue!!

Hello ladies!! Thank you for all the pixies who sent me emails already :)

I waited a couple of days to gather friends and split them between both our friends. Those who can send to both girls it's great!! But if sending 2 packages is too much for you, it's ok too :) Don't want to overload you!!

There's no need to make it a big parcel, send as you can, if you send a few supplies in a small package (threads, ribbons, buttons, threads or a bit of fabric for example) I'm sure it will make our friends smile :)
Those who have the chance to make a handmade, it will be lovely!!
All together will make a big gift!! :D

Thank you for your friendship and kindness ♥
Hugs&smiles

#1 April update

Hello ladies! It's about time for an update, right? ;)

Easter Exchange
I've been waiting for news on our Easter exchange but.. there are none! Nothing as changed =(
Please, check the status list on our exchange page and let me know if there's something missing. Any other parcel as arrived to destination??

Still no word back from Eleana... by now I think there was enough time for Eleana to take a minute and write to someone. Write here on the group, send me an email, send an email to Annette, send something to someone!! I think I've waited enough and I don't want this to continue for longer than it should! So, 2 weeks past Easter, I would say Annette needs some Pixie magic ;)

Christmas Exchange
I also need to go a little back to the Christmas exchange... Gislene didn't receive anything either, Tracey is MIA. It was Christmas so I waited, mail to Brazil takes too long so I waited, Easter has passed and I've learned my lesson. 2 weeks is how long I will wait for our friends to receive their parcels! Doing that for Annette and now catching up with Gislene too.

Let me also say, I won't accept Eleana for any other exchange. I've warned here on the blog, our exchanges are made for fun, I did not apply for a police job :p Writing an email is the only thing I ask, if people can't find the time to do it.. I'm sorry, I can't let this happen again, I owe it to all of you.

Pixies
Summing up, we need to send some pixie parcels to our friends, Annette (Netherlands) and Gislene (Brazil). To everyone who would like to apply to the Pixie job, please, send me an email ;) heheheh Let's keep something a surprise, we won't publish here who will send, let me know by email ok? ;)

You don't need to send a big parcel, if you have the chance to send an handmade item, that's great! If not, you can still send some treats that will make our friends smile :) All parcels together will make a big parcel to make up for the missing exchange! :D
So, if you have the chance to send a gift, there's no rule, no number of items, just send something from your heart =)
Any other questions about the pixie parcels, write on the email, I will reply to all :)

Thank you ladies!!

MS Alphabet Baby Quilt

Hi ladies!

My MS Baby Quilt is finally done! I would share with you the result because I'm completely in love. This was a gift to a baby boy, Victor, son of a sweetie friend, Joelise.

It's a soft quilt to play and rest. The colours, the fabrics and, of course, the wonderful MS Alphabet have turned this quilt in an unique piece.

'To Victor / From Aunt Simone': I think this idea is so cute!

I hope Joelise and her little angel have great and funny moments using it!

What do you think about this project? (See more details here.)

I would love to know your opinion. Have a sweet week, everybody!

Knock, Knock …A newcomer!!! :)

Hello dear MSlovers ! :)

Newcomer? No, it is not about a new Margaret Sherry chart. A new MS lover, of course!!!:)

I just popped in to introduce myself.

Known as ‘Preeti’, I have pretty much improved on my needlework after I left my full time job to enjoy my hobbies. I started my creative pursuits seven months back on my blog 'Creat-E-Witty Unleashed'. I came to know about the cute Margaret Sherry creations through a lovely friend from blogland, Nia, who then introduced and invited me to join this group. I haven't stitched any Margaret Sherry creation so far, but I plan to do so very soon. After all, the inspiration here cannot stop me from trying out those cool charts. I am glad and love to be here. Thank you for creating this beautiful group and making me a part of this! :)

Do visit me. I look forward to meet you all :)

Love,
Preeti

Rec'd Puppy Love

So happy that today I received the pattern I ordered on ebay from UK.  It's Puppy Love!  So adorable, expensive, but worth it.  I will start on this asap, after I complete a few stitchings that I have to have done soon.  :)

SAL#4 Puppy Lovers

Hello girls, plus a puppy ready, are getting too cute, just look at all three together.

How's yours puppys?

Friendship & Easter Exchange

Hello!  It is time to reveal what the postie delivered this week... Two adorable packages from the other side of the world.

The first package to arrive came from Rita in Portugal.

Gift from Rita

Rita sent me a lovely handmade card, some postcards with pictures of Portugal and some lovely embellishments   Rita sent me the card and pretties as a thank you for the exchange package I sent her as part of our MS Lovers Blog Winter Exchange.  Such a lovely surprise - Thank you Rita, I adore everything that you sent :o)

The second package was my Easter Exchange gift which came all the way from Judith in Germany.

Easter Exchange from Judith

Close up of the gorgeous bunny pillow

The pillow is delightful.  I love the design - in fact I nearly stitched it myself for the Exchange but changed my mind at the last minute.  Also in the package is a book of cute Easter German cross stitch designs, a thread holder, a cute little bunny bag with some lovely embellishments and some choccies.  Aren't they all so lovely?  Thank you Judith, this is a lovely exchange gift.

As yet I still can't show you what I sent to Lentochka as part of the exchange as I haven't heard yet if it has arrived safely in Russia.  Hopefully we will hear soon of it's arrival and all will be revealed.

So now that makes two packages that I have sent that I am still waiting to show off to you - a pixie parcel to Eleana and my Easter Exchange to Lentochka.  Fingers crossed we will hear any day now that they have arrived and all will be revealed :o)

Thank you again Judith and Rita for my gorgeous packages - they really made my day :o), and thank you Nia for organising our Exchanges.  I love being a part of these exchanges - all the love and friendship that goes into the stitching and packages is wonderful.  I hope that the last couple of packages arrive soon and that everyone will be smiling.

Til next time, happy stitching

Hugs

Last week I received Olli's exchange parcel, sorry for not posting earlier but I got it just when I was about to leave for Lisbon. There wasn't enough time to take photos and post. But I did update the list on our blog and also wrote a thank you comment for Olli on her blog =)
