First, this one from Suzanne all the way from Canada. Can you see the 2 lovely flower pins on the rose purse-sort off purse as i don't know how you call this. Thank you very much, Suzanne.
Next came the package from Anita, with a couple of designs from my wishlist and lovely handdyed threads...plus a couple of her crocheted dishclothes, aren't they lovely. Many, many thanks Anita.
And last came Julie's giveaway. I also expected the beautiful pinkeep but this.....
adorable bunny was a total surprise! I've admired her bunnies ever since she started doing them and i am really thrilled to actually own one. Thank you so much, Julie.I do hope you all got my e-mails.
The girls came this afternoon after school except one as she has the flu. Suppose to be only thursday but it's their last week now to complete the design they started as they have to deliver it on monday to one of the parent who will fix it to the quilt they are making.
Took these pictures of the girls during our first session. And one of the piece they were working on was left here as i promised to finish the backstitching for her-she find that very difficult. They will be here on thursday for the last session.
Here's a picture of the sampler i am working, sorry as it looks crumpled- i've shown it this afternoon and was in a hurry to set it aside....The girls were very chatty while i did most of the frogging they did at home and the hours pass by.....Next time i know, it was 5pm and had to hurry up for Chris football match at 6pm. They had missed lots of the games last winter because of the weather so they are now catching up twice a week!
Another surprise i got today...hubby called i am going to pick him up tomorrow. The ship is back from Scotland yesterday and there were some rearrangement made for the crew. So after two weeks away he's coming home for 3 weeks and then he'll be joining another ship probably one outside the country. Actually, he's finally got back his old position, as Captain. More than 15 years ago, he had to stopped working in the dredging business due to health reasons and never expected to return again so he didn't bother to renew his papers. A couple of years ago he re-studied with the help of the company he is now working and got back his papers or certificates.
I might be slow visiting everyone's blog as it's been pretty busy here this week and need to work on the sampler when i get the chance but will do catch up...
Thank you all so much for your continued visits on my blog and for taking the time to leave me a comment. They mean so much to me! I hope you are all having a wonderful week.
