PIF

I'm sorry its taken so long to let you know who has won the PIF but its just been mad, mad, mad...!

Congratulations to Joy, MaryT and ccfl02.. (sorry don't know your name)...

If you would send me your addresses please, I will send you a small cross stitched gift sometime in the next 12 months.

This now entitles you to place the PIF logo onto your own blogs and start a new one.
(just copy and paste it from mine)

Good luck

At last, the Winnie the Pooh Sampler for Ellie May is finished... I put in the last stitch about half an hour ago.. .I just need to wash, press and frame it before handing over to her Dad! Now to finish my Granddaughter, Grace's sampler! Sorry the pic is upside down, I've tried everything to rotate it but it just isn't happening.

I started this a loooonnnng time ago, but because its 18 count and my eyesight isn't as good as it used to be, I think its going to take a long time to finish! I will, eventually!

Scissor Fob

I got fed up of losing my scissors down between the cushions, and with a little inspiration from a Yahoo cross stitching group, I spent a couple of hours doing this last night... no more lost scissors!!

I needed a bit of a diversion from the block colours in Ellie's sampler, so I did this bookmark.... I think you will agree its lovely and bright.... it took about 8 hours in total over 4 nights, I just have to finish it off with backing it with a nice lilac/violet ribbon.
