Owls, Christmas Cards and Friends.

Tonia Pappan has been having a Christmas Party at OakHaven Designs Group.  She has been giving away Christmas designs to member, but for one day only.  I could not resist stitching the 3rd gift, which was given out on my birthday.  And you can see now why I loved it so much - Owls!

This design was the 3rd Gift at the Christmas Party. It's not available now.

-ooOoo-

I have received another Birthday gift from my dear friend Jan, who also knows that I love owls.

"Bags of Character" for the National Trust.
Inside this little owl storage pouch is a handy lightweight tote bag, which you can clip onto your handbag or keys.  Such a handy gift to have around.  Thank you so much Jan.  

-ooOoo-

I have received a lovely cross stitch Christmas Card from my dear friend Mary Grace in Malta.  In fact I also have last years on display as well.  Thank you so much Mary Grace.

"Santa" 2010

It was only last month Mary Grace had her birthday and I sent her a little gift, which she stitched up in no time for her Christmas tree.  It's so cute!

A Joan Elliot design.

I have another friend Jayne who love Meerkats.  So I stitched her a Hobbycraft kit by Mouseloft of two Meerkats, waiting for Santa.  I'm sure she will love it.


Here's a close up of the meerkats.


Well, I hope you are now ready for Christmas, it's not long now.  It's only a week to go!!

Have a lovely week-end.



Happy Stitching Everyone

Birthday!!

It's a special day for me today!  You've guessed it, its my birthday!
I've received some lovely presents and cards, that I must share some of them with you.

But first I must say thank you to all my dear friends who sent me birthday greetings.

The first card is from my good friend Mary Grace in Malta.  Stitched in my favourite colours.

And from my friend Janet a decoupage card.
My daughter bought me a lovely gift to hang up at Christmas.

She knows I love owls.  And also something to eat.

I finally got the present I asked for last year - a lamp to stitch by at night.  So now I have no excuses not to stitch in the evenings!





Until next time, Happy Stitching.
