The Suddenly Kate Show

Morning,

On my last post we danced the night away because I had received a beautiful tree pillow in the Santa exchange that I done with Tiki.

Well, today she has posted that she has received my exchange! I am pleased as I was starting to worry that it wouldn't arrive.

The design i used was taken from a cross stitch cards magazine but I changed the colours (used the ones I had) and made it more sparkly.  I didn't opt for Christmas fabric as I have none in my stash (its shameful, I know) but I fond some that I thought was a rich enough colour.  I am happy with how it came out but obviously wish it was a lot better but all things I have learnt for next time! providing I do another one - it was hard to get an exchange partner this time. So if anyone would be interested in doing one in the new year then drop me a line :)

So, without further ado I will show you some photos I took before sending and if you like you can pop over to Tiki Stitches and see her photos.






On a not so happy note..…

After finishing the horse on Tuesday night, I decided to dedicate Wednesday to other things.  Of which I was unable to do any of them!

I couldn't find my advent calendar :(
I didn't fix my printer :(
I never sorted out quiz questions :(

I did spend a day with my sister and nieces :)

When they went home in the evening I read some blogs and signed up to theme-a-licious! After that, I was sort of bored...started twiddling my thumbs...and decided that I could probably stitch something, and picked up a magazine freebie to stitch. I did this whilst watching Christmas movie channel! I love Christmas :) I haven't quite finished but here is a progress pic. I hope to finish it today after I have been to a couple of nearby stitch shops :)  Then I will finish off my Santa exchange so that it can be posted off tomorrow! I know some people don't like these but  these kits are pretty good - as they come with all the felt, ribbon, buttons,aida and thread etc. that you need to make the orna…
