But first, the most exciting news about my Perth trip! I met up with a fellow stitching blogger, Noni of Fireflies and Cats in the Garden. I emailed her a couple of weeks ago when I knew that I was going to be going to Perth to see if she would be able to catch up with me. Luckily, she was having some time off and was free to meet me for lunch in the window of opportunity I had before my colleagues arrived from Adelaide and we had to go conduct our Workshops. Here we are at the cafe.
We chatted and laughed and learnt that we have lots and lots in common - we are stitching sisters from the two coasts of Australia - lovely!
Of course, being Cross Stitch bloggers we exchanged gifts:
Coincidentally, we both used orange in our wrapping!
Look what Noni gave me:
Beautiful stitched cards and notebook, a scissor fob and a dreamcatcher fob.
.... and this is what I gave Noni:
A framed bunny, some Collection Tra La La patterns and a pair of scissors and a homemade pompom fob.
Thank you, Noni, I will always treasure the time we spent together and the lovely gifts you made for me - I can't wait until we catch up again.
Here is my TUSAL report for this month (a bit late, I am sorry).
Home ORTS on the left and car/plane ORTS on the right
The tea set at the back is my DM's Royal Winton tea set, isn't it gorgeous?
I also got some stitching done this weekend:
Progress on The Faerie Queene (this is all one over one stitching on 35 ct so I need VERY good light to be able to do it)
... and a Happy Dance - Day 3 of Santa's 12 Days of Christmas - yay!
hugs,
P.S. I was fiddling with my blog layout and now it is a bit mucked up. Forgive me as it will be a while before I can get it right again - so sorry.
