Yesterday I received this wonderful package from her and I was completely Wowed!!! Angela stitched a design for me from "Song Of the Season" by Prairie Schooler on 32ct Mushroom lugana with the DMC floss called for. Believe me when I say that the picture doesn't show how truly gorgeous this piece is!!! She also included a piece of the most beautiful Christmas fabric, a butterfly calendar and a couple of Christmasy nail files. She even wrapped it so beautifully ! There was a butterfly attached to the paper and I am going to glue a clip onto him and stick him on my tree.
Thank You so very much for this wonderful exchange Angela! It will be treasured for years to come!
Last Thursday I woke up feeling terrible! Every single muscle in my body hurt (more than usual) and I was pushing myself to get ready to take my DS to school. By the time I got home from dropping him off I started getting the chills. Next thing I knew I had 102F! All I kept thinking of was I didn't have time for this! DH happened to be home that day so he sent me to bed and that was pretty much where I stayed for 2 days. I didn't feel like eating or anything and although my temperature has been back to normal I still don't feel 100%. Not sure what that was all about as I had no other symptoms (ok slight nausea) but I am glad it is gone.
While I was sick I did receive my LK exchange from Line. Unfortunately the first exchange piece she sent me got lost in the mail so this was a replacement piece.
Line stitched "Cozy Christmas Wishes" for me and made it into this wonderful ornament! She used 32ct natural linen and both DMC and Nina's threads. She said this was only the 2nd time she had finished her stitching this way but you'd never know it!
Thank You so very much Line for this wonderful exchange! I can't wait to see it on my tree!
I did manage to start and finish an ornament for an exchange in 1 day while I wasn't feeling good. All of my exchange stitching is now done for the year! I just have to put a couple of things together then mail them off. I say this every year but it never works out but I am going to TRY yet again to cut down on exchange stitching so I have more time to stitch some things for myself LOL What can I say? I just love doing exchanges!
Well that's all from here today! I made a Cranberry Fruit Salad today and tomorrow I will be baking Blueberry Crumb Pie, Pumpkin Pie and Pumpkin Bars to bring to MIL's for Thanksgiving. Well actually DS is the only one who likes Pumpkin Pie so I may just leave that one here for him :)
Welcome to my new followers and Thank You all for stopping by!!

Oh no Lisa, I'm sorry to hear that you have been sick to. Must be the time of the year for us hey!!
Glad that you are feeling better though.
Lovely exchange piece received from Angela, her flatfolds are lovely, I'm lucky to have a few of them myself.
Hugs
I hope you are feeling much better now Lisa.
Both exchanges are gorgeous. I love that PS piece that Angela stitched for you.
I popped a little gift in the post to you last week as a thank you for the fabric. Hope it reaches you soon.
Glad you're feeling better Lisa.
Wow, so much work has gone into that PS Santa flat fold - it's beautiful. It's a design I haven't seen before.
Your LK exchange is really pretty too. A nice finish.
I've only tasted Pumpkin Pie once and I loved it. It's not something that you see very often on a menu over here in the UK. Perhaps I should have a go at baking one myself?!
Glad you're feeling better, and got those commitments completed. Now it's stitching for fun! Enjoy!
Sorry to hear you were ill, hope you're back to normal soon!
What beautiful exchange pieces you've received!
Such lovely exchange pieces you've received.
Hope you are feeling much much better by now.
I'm glad you are feeling better now. I love the finishes. Simply lovely dear friend! Hugs.
