DAY 3 GIFT of 11 Days of Kaisievic's Birthday

 Hi everyone, I have decided that it might have been a bit confusing for people if I kept updating the same post - so I have decided to go with a new post for each new day's gift from now on.

If you want to check out Day 1 and Day 2 GIFTS and want to read the rules, then please visit this previous post.  If you would like to win either Day 1 or Day 2 Gifts - please comment on this first post.

Now, here is my DAY 3 GIFT to you all:


Isn't this a cute little gift?  It is a little hand warmer.  It has a liquid insert which can be reheated as many times as you like and it can warm your hands. I thought that maybe those of you who are moving into Winter might like this as a present.

So, if you would like to win Day 3's Gift, comment on this post and let me know.



I thought that I would show off my new Doona cover set which DS1, DD and DS2 bought me for my birthday:




Of course, it was bought under my instructions - to make sure it was the one I liked.  I think it is very pretty and makes a real change from the other designs which I have on my doona covers.


Some stitching progress:

First, the Summer Garden Travelling Pattern is coming along well. I work on this every morning on the train on my way to work.  What a lovely way to start the day!


Mouse, the pink thread in the body of the birdhouse is the Secondhand Rose which you so kindly sent to me.
When I am finished - the TP will be moving on - so if you think that you might be interested - watch this space!

I am also doing the VANITY SAL of The Dressmaker's Daughter (Mirabilia) being run by Fiori Crocette.



Here is my floss toss and my start:




Planning to do some more stitching now as TraderVic and I are planning to watch Warhorse tonight.  We have been out all day at a 21st birthday party - it was lots of fun but feeling a bit weary now


.... and don't forget to check out Day 1 and Day 2 GIFT of 11 Days of Kaisievic's Birthday and if you would like to play, please comment on this previous post.

hugs,

Your TP is looking good and I like the pattern for your new SAL. It should be a fun stitch.

Hand warmer sounds like a great idea.
