We have company....

I was surprised when Max was dropped this afternoon as i had expected he will be brought tomorrow(friday). Good i didn't left the house as i had intended. The owner will take the first ferry at 6am heading to 'Cyprus' so he decided to bring him earlier and he'll be back on tuesday.
I took Max for a walk at the dyke, luckily the weather clears up as it was very misty this morning.
Now, i miss dh as we ussually take Max for a last round at the dyke around midninght. I am afraid to do that now.

I just read that

This is one of my finishes lately, besides a

few christmas ornaments. Still working on them but it seems i am not really progressing, just luck of inspiration for finishing.

Stella F. if you happen to visit here, i haven't forgotten what i've promised.
Could you send me your address and i will try to send it to you next week. I am nearly done with a couple of ornaments from that book.

Halloween exchange from Karen!

I have received a wonderful package from Karen for the HOE halloween exchange. Karen stitched and finished it into a halloween fob. It is soooo cute and i love it. Karen totally spoiled me with sending this lovely scissor and all these wonderful goodies. Thank you so much, Karen.

Packages arriving here in return!!!

See this gorgeous Needleroll made by Shelley P. for the HOE Needleroll exchange! So perfectly stitched and finished and the design is from Prairie Schooler, one of my favorite designer. I just LOVE it!!






Here's a picture of the whole package. Aren't i the lucky one, to receive such a great great package! There is just so many to name and almost all from my wishlist. You really spoiled me. Thank you so much Shelley for everything!!





Here's what i received from Ulla for the SBEBB Halloween Exchange. What a coincidence also the stitched design from Prairie Schooler. I just LOVE the ornament Ulla, a great addition for my halloween collections.






And such wonderful goodies enclosed too. I love everything!! Thank you so much, Ulla.






Received this cute scissor fob from Henderica for the scissor fob exchange of the Yahoo Borduurpaleis group. Many thanks Henderica!!




You are all probably wondering what i am working on these days but almost all for exchanges so can't show any pictures aside from this, The Sun! I am behind on this one too as i haven't followed the others for 4 weeks lately so i am trying to catch up. I think the others who've been working on this one are nearly to it's completion.

Thank you all for your kind comments with my previous posts about my finishes. Your visits and comments mean so much.

HOE Freebie Exchanges

WHEW! Did anyone miss me????

I have to come out of hiding to present the wonderful package i received from the HOE Freebie Exchange.
Olga
stitched me this wonderful freebie and finished it beautifully! I just LOVE it!!

Eversince i've discovered her blog i really admired her work so i was really pleased when i received one of her works.






She also spoiled me with all the extra's enclosed as you can see on the picture. Thank you so much, Olga!!!




Valerie received the freebie i stitched for the exchange. So glad it has arrived safely and that she likes it. In haste for bringing to the post office haven't taken a picture of the whole pacakge. She has picture on her blog though.

It's been pretty busy here lately so not much time to come online, instead i try to devote whatever spare time i can get to work on a couple of exchanges.
I am really behind with blog readings so please please do understand if i haven't leave any comment.
With summer break approaching, there's so many different activities for the children, in and out of school. So that keeps us busy as well as works and socially too!!

Thank you all so much for stopping by especially to those who take time to leave a comment. I really appreciate them all.

Barbara, thanks for the offer. I received two from exchanges, so there's no reason for me not to try, just don't have the time yet. But, i still have about three weeks...?? Oh, my...why oh why does the time passes by so quickly!!

Pinkeeps exchanges on HOE

Thank you all so much for all your nice comments with my last post. I really appreciate them all.

I've seen that Jen received the package i sent to her for the pinkeep exchange, so i can show a picture of it. What a coincidence that she's my partner for the biscornu and the pinkeep exchange at the same group. I just hope she will not get bored with what i've made and sent.






LHN "Schoolgirl Lessons" on 32ct linnen and used Belle Soie, Rose of Sharon.



Here's some pictures of the pinkeep package i received from Jill. I really love the pinkeep! Jill finished it so neatly and she's very generous with the extra's. I see, there's one missing on the picture for the extra though, the cream ribbon. Thank you so much, Jill!!

Biscornu's at Hooked On Exchanging

Quite good surprise coming home from work to see and read some good news! First, i read Jen received the biscornu i made for the exchange. So glad to hear it has arrived safely. I took your picture for here too as the one i had taken is blurred, which happened very often lately.


The other good news is the package waiting for me from Nicola for the biscornu exchange. The biscornu is sooo lovely, worked with beads on it and the button looks great. Also enclosed were a piece of fabric, beads, ribbon, a couple of different kind of thread and the postcard. I just LOVE them all. Thanks so much, Nicola!!

Thanks so much everyone for all the lovely comments on my last finishing. A pity still no sign of SPRING, instead it's been on and off snowing lately but not enough to see the whiteness around, atleast for here on the island.

Hooked on Exchanging

I am happy to hear it has finally arrived! It nearly took three weeks to Florida from Holland, so i was really worried i thought it was lost. So glad i was able to send it out long before the due date or else my partner wouldn't be happy waiting for it.

Glad to hear Hannah like the scissor fob i made. I've seen most LHN designs on her wishlist so thought she would like this design which is part of the LHN 'Stitchers prayer'.
I only have this picture, i forgot to take more before sending the little package so you can have a look on the blog group Hooked on Exchanging
for a couple more.

Hooked on Exchanging

I received a package all the way from New Zealand today!! Thanks so much Rowijn for this lovely quaker scissor fob. Enclosed are a cute teddy chart and needles too. Thanks for everything Rowijn.


I hope this will get in as i am having trouble uploading the pictures.
