But firstly, I just noticed this as part of the design on my new Doona cover - it says "Loving Birthday Greetings" - how appropriate is that?

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

Lots to report and a Happy Dance (Take 2)

Hello lovely bloggers,

Well, I have lots to report this post.

My Happy Dance (Take 2) is because I picked up Baboushka from the framers the other day.  Here she is, I am really pleased with her (please ignore the shadow on the right hand side.  I have decided to give her to my Dear Sister for Christmas.  The green matt is sueded - it looks really great in the flesh, so to speak.

I also have a couple of progress pics:

Some progress on Isabella's Garden

September TUSAL - the purple on the top is from Isabella's garden

 A new start:  Mirabilia's Christmas Courier by Nora Corbett,  now I did not buy the pattern all chewed up like this - that was my naughty cats - Milo and Furio.  I cam home from work one day and found the outer envelope and one page of the chart (luckily it was a photocopy) all shredded up!

And here are the two of them - looking like butter wouldn't melt in their mouths!

First progress on Christmas Couriers - the greens look really vibrant in real life.

 Lastly, I wanted to show off my new doona cover set - pretty isn't it?

Well, that's all for me now - off to do some stitching.

Bye for now,

Love, Kaye xoxox

P.S. I also meant to tell you about the storm that we had in Melbourne yesterday - a month's rain in one day!  The most rain in September since 1955.  All of the planes were grounded because of the thunder, lightning, rain and hail.  It is now really cold - only 9 degrees celsius - Brrrrr!!!!
