news update #15

Summer Exchange
So long has passed since our Summer Exchange deadline... and there are still friends waiting to receive their parcel =/ It's hard to understand because our exchanges are so small, this shouldn't happen!

Cris will stay on the same list as Lorraine » those who failed their exchange and we still hope to hear from them someday!
But Lu and Eleana are not totally clear, ladies, you could have done better...

I promise I will try to make things work better next time!
I'll be more careful with everyone who wants to sign up for the next exchange and I won't leave so much time or room for waiting.

We want our exchanges to be fun!! I don't want our friends sad while waiting for something to arrive on their mailbox! If you assume a commitment, make an effort.

It's so easy to make something pretty, add a couple of treats and post :)

Autumn Exchange
We were supposed to make an exchange each season, just like we are making our SAL, one cat for each season :)

But our last exchange is taking so long to close, I'm not sure if we should start another for Autumn... What do you think?

Should we plan another exchange for September/October?

Autumn Cat

My Autumn cat SAL#3 in progress

Hello, my first post here, but not the complete SAL, it is still in progress...^^

Thanks Nia let me join in this SAL, my speed bit slow to make this... But I always use 20min of my office lunch time to stitch it a bit and a bit... Not sure when can I complete it? ^.^

Summer exchange:: checking again

Once again, let's check our Summer exchange!

Before the end of July, Eleana and Lu posted their parcels so we still have one missing... no word from Cris yet. What really upsets me is not getting any message, no email or comment on the blog saying anything... Everyone has work, life, problems! But we can manage everything if we just send a little message to our friends.
Also, I don't understand how someone receives a gift and doesn't say anything about it, not even a thank you?! My parents have taught me better than that.

So, waiting to receive: Eleana, Marcinha, Francesca, Simone and Dinny. Is that correct? Please, ladies, let me know as soon as you receive your partner's parcel, ok? I will be waiting to update our status list ;)

Francesca, I can only apologize for what's happenning, I feel responsible because I'm the one taking care of our exchanges and letting people in but.. for sure you understand that it's a risk, we have to give a chance to everyone until they give us a reason not to! But you also know that I will do my best to make you smile again :D Don't worry sweetie!! ;)

Hello, my first post

Hello,
I am Maria Elena and I live in Italy and this is the first time I write in this blog even if I joined you more than an year ago...
I love Margaret Sherry, off course, or I wouldn't be here LOL. I have many work in progress and have done several patterns in the past.
Yesterday I found 2 small penguins I stitched in 2006 for a Christmas project. On that year I stitched almost 20 of them, but these 2 remained in a box until yesterday when I decided to make two Christmas decorations of them:

What do you think about them?
My work in progress (ok, my UFO's, let's be honest! LOL) Are the 2006 Calendar Cats and the 3 stitching mice (I don't remember the name of the pattern right now).

Summer exchange

Hi girls!
I came to show the goodies I received from Dinny, Indonesia.
Everything is beautiful!!
Take this opportunity to tell you that I contacted the Eleana, my partner in this exchange to apologize for the delay in shipments of pampering. I sent on Friday and I believe that in ten days she receives.
Kisses and up!

Summer cat

Sophie is the daughter of a good friend who lives in Costa Rica, taking advantage of the outstanding work organized by MSLovers always SAL, I sent my Summer Cat and this completed the 2nd phase of the project.

The idea is to hang on the wall, the frame is under the little picture, taking the concept I've seen a lot of vintage stores virtual Pinterest and of course the bloggers to whom I am fond.
And you, a cute kitten with melon ice cream.

My summer cool cat - SAL#3

I did it! With a one-month delay I finally did it:)
Here is my lovely cool cat!

I am not sure if it is ok to post lots of details her, so you are welcome to my blog.

By the way, ladies, are you going to make a bag with your cool cats stitchings or you have other brilliant ideas?
Please share with your SAL-mates:)

Wish you all a great day!
