Oh, how do I love having a good stash pile. I am doing some finishing on my Christmas in July swap pieces. Yes, I know, taking it to the line but I will get there! I had hoped to get more done on Wednesday when I was recuperating after my dental surgery but I just didn't feel up to it, not surprisingly! However, I am picking up the pace on my finishing now.
So, I was looking for some Christmas fabbie in my stash boxes.
.... and oh, ever so quickly, I put my hand into the second one I looked in and found these two great pieces of Christmas fabric.
The top one is a lovely flannel piece and the other is cotton. Both are perfect for my plans.
Then, on the stitching front last night, I finished all of the cross stitching on my fruit wreath and started on the back stitching. Doesn't it make the bow pop? I am very pleased with how this is turning out.
Well, have a fabulous day everyone, another busy day for me - writing contracts for authors for a new project, meetings, checking one of my eBooks for errors, and a morning tea (someone going on maternity leave), lunch with my Dad and sister (she is kindly bringing Dad into see my awesome office and then I am taking them out to lunch at the new restaurant in my building) and then two afternoon teas - maternity leave one again (someone else) and a Smith family fundraiser!
Hmm, doesn't sound like I am doing much work but I can assure you I work very hard!
hugs,
P.S. Thank you so much to everyone for your good wishes re my recovery after my dental surgery - my mouth still feels rather bruised but it has stopped throbbing so much. I just have to be very careful about what I eat and how I eat it.
