From Valma to Judith

I was overwhelmed when receiving Valma's mail.She made my day with it. When I received it I was in a very bad mood because of my daughter and with the mail Sun came to my heart. Many many thanks for this, Valma.

Now I found the time to minimize the photos and I can show you what was in the parcel.The mail was these cute Easter serviettes and an Easter box.

The next photo shoes you the box alone.
Inside I found: 2 very nice candles, 3 wonderful ribbons , a lot of nice buttons and charms ( I do like these)

an 2 Easterornaments .

THen to the cutiest Easterbasket I ever had seen . Valma thanks so much for your work and  I do like this kind of basket.I#LL try to do one in the same shape when having a bit more of time.

And what was in this  basket.? Have a look to the last photo. 3 pieces of flower cloth .I have always an idea for which finishing I can use them und 3 sticks with little eastereggs.

As I wrote at the beginning I was overwhelmed of this all. Thanks again for your post,Valerie.I can't tell in word how my feeling is when unpacking all these nice things.

My mail is to its way and I hope that it will reach his aim  just in time. Nia ,I hope that I can send you a photo of this on Monday.
Hoping that all of you have a nice weekend
Love Judith

The bookmark from Heather!

Hello,

Because i wanted to make this bookmark for a while i could not wait any longer when this gift arrived at my home last friday.
I just had to stitch it right away:-)
And because it has been very cold it was good excuse to stay warm inside.
Thanks again Heather for you lovely parcel.

I hope you also will receive something beautiful!

hugs Angele

Good  stitch

Heather to Angele!

Hello everybody,

I am so dancing a happy dance right now!
I received the best easter exchange package from Heather!

Thank you so much Heather for everything...love it ..love it!!

Valerie i think i had a little mouse too in my house to;-)
A really lovely hanger with a easter pattern i had never seen before.
And wonderful gifts.
How did she knew i was looking for the bookmark she send me??
Now i don't have to look any further...truly a miracle.
And i always leave my needles everywhere and now i don't have a excuse to do that anymore(so my husband is also happy;-)

Everything is so perfect thank you Heather!

What a great way to start a weekend!

hugs Angele

Easter exchange - Angele to Valma

Hello girls,

I think I'm the first to post for this exchange =D
I received yesterday Angele's gifts and there's only one sentence to say : Thank you so much =D
Of course I need to add that I really love everything, that it is really cute, and perfect, and beautiful....
Everything was in a yellow bag with this cute chick on it

Inside a hanging with hens and a wonderful handmade card , and the gifts you can see on the picture

Once again thank you very much Angele.
I hope you will receive lot's of joy too. I also hope Judith will receive a lot hehehehe =D
You can go and see the other pictures I made on my blog.
Angele for sure had been a little mouse in my home last weekend when I prepared my Easter tree as everything she sent perfectly suits with it =D
Have a great weekend end my dear friends and happy Easter
Hugs from happy Valma

(PS for Nia, I can't put labels on the pictures for I don't know the names of the designs :-/)

Sal 1

Hello friends :).
There I enrolled at the time of your SAL #1 because I thought it would last a long time, since last year I embroidered this SAL because I was waiting for the time for me to buy the threads and arrive to my mail, you can check on my blog for my ufo already started embroidering 2 years I think.: (

Nia you can check my name in this SAL.:).
Kisses and hugs

Easter exchange * snail mail

Everyone read the title on this post? It's snail mail, takes time.. don't wait to long to post your partners gift, ok? ;)
There are 3 parcels travelling around the globe:

1. Lentochka
2. Joey
3. Cucki
4. Eleana
5. Annette
6. Olli
7. Nia - Posted!
8. Heather - Posted!
9. Angel - Posted!
10. Valma
11. Judith
12. Noni

Should I update this list with more names? Let me know! :)

Special allert to Cucki and Eleana, there's a strike in South Africa's post office so Cucki's gift will probably take longer to arrive and the same thing on the other way around.. her gift will take a bit more to be delivered to Eleana =/ We can't do anything about this, just wait and hope the strike won't get the mail too behind!

PS: Elena, did you receive more pixie parcels??

Cute cat with a lot of flowers!!

Hi,

I started to post her long after the beginning of Sal2 but maybe Nia you also wanna put my name with the rest of the cross stitchers that have finished these two??:-)

I also wanted to share to you my latest ms cat.
Isn't she cute?

It was quite a job and a lot of backstitches but it was worth it!

hugs from the netherlands

Summer is done!

Hello, long time no post here!  I have been stitching away most nights on the Easter Exchange and alternating with Cool Cats Summer.

At long last I have something I can show you all, and by showing you I can put a big green tick against SAL #3.  Happy dance!!

I finished the last of the back stitch on Cool Cat "Summer" the other night!  Wow, that was a tough one (all that white and cream) but he is now all done.  And just in time for us in the Southern Hemisphere to finish Summer and move into Autumn.

Now that I have finally finished all three of the original SAL's I can start SAL #4 with a clear conscience!  Well, almost a clear conscience as I haven't made them all up yet... but that part will happen soon.

MS Cool Cat Summer - SAL #3

And here they all are.... stitched and waiting for some place to go!

Finished SAL #3 Cool Cats

Finished SAL #2 Christmas

Finished SAL # 1 Culinary Cats

I can't wait to finally start the next SAL - "Puppy Love"... this weekend is the beginning of a new stitching adventure.

Well that's it for this update from me.  I will be back with an update on the Easter Exchange and "Puppy Love" soon...


Til next time, happy stitching
