Hello lovely friends :)
I hope you are all well.... stitching or making things?
I have been really busy..
Firstly, Thank You to all of you that reassured me about the CBT and counselling, I feel so much better. And you all be pleased to know I think my sleeping pattern is improving :) Went to bed last night around 12 due to getting back home after collecting Han from a concert. And my mum phoned me at 9 am this morning to get me up so that I can hopefully go to bed at a 'normal' hour this evening. Its looking hopeful...
Ok stitching wise.. I have just literally finished my wonderful sheep design. Its a Little House Needleworks design called "Warm Winter Woolens" and I really enjoyed stitching it.
I wanted to put it on my wall... the first of many sheep designs I hope! A kind of 'sheep' wall! ha ha or baa baa!
Here it is.. start to finish :)
Hope you like my sheep?
Oooh I must tell you all some wonderful...
A little while ago I made a small donation to Stitchers Anon for Gaynor's charity event to raise money for breast cancer. I was delighted to find my raffle ticket was chosen :) How wonderful!! I was able to choose from the wonderful prizes and kind donations made by people for this event. I am happy to say I chose a wonderful chart donated very kindly by Ingrid of Mii Stitch .. such a pretty chart..
And one to stitch for Easter...
Thank You very much Gaynor and Ingrid :)
I had more Happy post today... yes I did!!
I could not believe it a little while ago when Frances from A Symphony Of Stitches had a giveaway of several books and charts. I was a little shocked as she very kindly chose me for one of her beautiful books. Thank You very very much Frances :)
I have something in mind from the book already to stitch...
How lovely is this book!!
Ooooh yes...
One last thing to tell you all about..
