Such joy when I arrived home....

Imagine my joy when I arrived home to find a parcel of goodies which I had ordered from the lovely Isabella from  The Primitive Hare waiting for me:

I had bought this e-pattern from her the other week - just feeding some more of two of my addictions - cross stitch and The Tudors!


Isn't it gorgeous? Here is a link to Isabella's etsy shop if you are interested in purchasing the pattern. But, of course, I had to order a piece of Isabella's special hand-dyed fabbie to stitch it on - 30 ct hand-dyed Old Salem linen and then how could I resist a pair of Anne Boleyn's own scissors????  lol!







Oh, such a joyful sense of pleasure when I arrive home!

Isabella has just posted a sweet freebie pattern for Thanksgiving, which you can check out here.



NOW, I feel that I owe a bit of an apology to my 11 Days of Kaisievic's Birthday Giveaway winners - I have not forgotten you but I have just been really busy at work and with my family and the only time I get to blog or cross stitch or organise my giveaways is when the Post Office is shut.  But I will get your gifts to you soon, I promise.  I hope that you all understand.

On that note, I must also say, that I am really behind in both my blog reading and my email replies to comments.  Please know that I try to visit as many blogs as I can regularly but it is just an impossible task to keep up with really (a bit like the tasks of Hercules) and I do read all of your comments and appreciate them greatly.  Love you all!

Just to finish off my post and to prove that we do, in fact have two furbabies, here is a pic of our lovely Milo:


Do you think that he is comfortable sleeping like that?

Have a great day, everyone - must get ready for work!

hugs,

Now THAT'S a wonderful parcel to come home to. Love it all - the pattern, the fabric and the scissors.

Cats sleep in the weirdest positions, don't they? And then wake up without being stiff and sore. It's not fair! LOL

Isn't Isabella's linen the best? I love using it! Great additions to your stash! I hope things get a little less hectic for you soon. Cat's are a hoot, aren't they? Sophie sleeps in such weird positions sometimes! I wish I was half that bendy : )
