Wonderful Surprise and some progress...

I got a wonderful surprise in the mail today!! Karen had told me yesterday that the Tartan Plaid thread for our Quaker Meetinghouse SAL was on the way, but she didn't tell me that she was also sending her pattern for "This Too Shall Pass" Scissor Keep! I was admiring her beautiful finish a few weeks ago, and was kicking myself for not buying it when I had the chance.

(sorry I should have taken it out of the plastic before taking the photo)

Thank you so much, Karen. That was the sweetest and kindest thing and has made my day. :-)


I've had a few relaxing days off this week. I haven't managed to get much stitching done though, as I've been doing other things. This is how far I got on Heart's Secret before putting it away:


It looks WEIRD (and not necessarily a good weird) - I mean blending overdyed silks?! especially those colours! Well, it was annoying me, so I decided to put it away for a bit... I'll probably get over the weirdness the next time I get it out!

I started a new Mirabilia instead!! It wasn't Stargazer, though. I'll take a progress pic over the weekend and let you see. ;-)

I think (hope!) the blog has gone back to normal, as I haven't had any more problems loading the page, and as nobody has said otherwise...
