I am so pleased with my progress on Cinderella, here is my photo from Saturday morning (after FNSI progress)
and here she is after IHSW:
I also mentioned in my last post that I had been lucky enough to win a giveaway but I have more good fortune to share with you. First, here is the lovely surprise which I received tonight when I got home from work. It is from my Love and Friendship Exchange partner, now she is a secret partner. So, thank you, whoever you are. See all my wonderful goodies. My favourite is the beautiful little pink and green cushion - two of my favourite colours. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Oh, secret friend.
Then I have won these wonderful patterns from Joyce of Random Ramblings. Now, I thought that I had only won Blueberries but no, generous Joyce sent me four lovely Amish quilting patterns - I just love them.
Blueberry Homecoming, Raspberry Homecoming, Blackberry Jam, and I am not sure what the last pattern is called (as I am sitting typing this with Furio on my knee and I don't want to disturb him). Thank you so much, Joyce, you are so lovely and generous.
Then Nicola of Stitching by a Cornish Seashore was kind enough to gift me the pattern of And they sinned (Sorry, I couldn't get a big photo but if you click on the link you can see a bigger image)
She was also generous enough to send me some lovely Gentle Arts threads to start me off. Now, as Nicola stitched on this I had been lusting after it, so I am so excited to have the pattern. But I am going to have to wait until I get back from my U.S. trip before I start it. But I think that it will be a lovely piece to look forward to starting when I have those post holiday blues. Thank you so much, Nicola, I am so excited to have this pattern to stitch in my future.
Nicola, is also having a fun competition about the weird positions pets and family sleep in. Now, here are my two entries. The first one is Milo who loves to sleep in my large white china bowl (which I can now never use again). For some reason he finds this comfortable - go figure!
The other photo is Furio the other day, as you can see, he is sleeping twisted right around - how funny is that?Wish me luck for Nicola's competition - isn't it fun?
love to you all,

Wow! You have gotten so much done on Cinderella already. Amazing! And congratulations on your recent wins. :)
Cinderella is looking good and you have some great goodies that you received.
Wonderful stitching! and what lovely giveaways, congratulations! :)
Ooh Kaye! Your kitties are so cute! I love how Furio sleeps all twisted up like that!! I've yet to catch Titus sleeping to post a pic for Nicola's competition. I think Furio has it hands down though!! Wonderful exchanges you received! And that massive pattern! Wowza! That will take awhile, but it will be amazing to see you stitch it! Great progress on Cinderella and lovely charts from Joyce!!
You've been a lucky gal :D
Hugs!!
Nice progress! Thanks for sharing.
great progress on your stitching!! :D
Cindy looks great, Kaye!!!! Awesome gifts all of them, and I don't know the name of that last chart either. HAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!
beautiful stitching :D and lovely gifts to get in the mail.
Cinderella is looking better and better! And nice stash additions :) Pumbaa used to sleep in the sink. It startled any guests I had forgotten to mention - especially if they had done using the bathroom and would turn around to find that a cat had been staring at them the whole time.
