Another gorgeous pattern by Rosalie Quinlan. Pop over to visit Narelle to see what the other Elves have made this month.

Happy Stitching,

FNSI

I joined Heidi for this months

but the plans i had went awry. :( I did get to sew the beads on this

& some more stitching on this

& that is the sum total of my FNSI.

Happy Stitching,

Not much going on in the way of crafting....

 ...... so i'll leave you with flowers that are blooming in my garden.

Love the viola's. Such cute little faces.

We planted several types of bulbs but only 3 grew. Not impressed. This one flowered 1st. Beside it are some snapgradons.

Geraniums,

Princess De Monaco rose & geranium,

more geraniums,

I took all these geraniums as cutting from my Mum & fortunately for me the mostly all grew. :)

Bilbergia in flower -queens tears i think it's called.

Happy Stitching,

Gifts

My online swap group recently swapped again. This time our swap was for Spring. My parcel arrived today from Joy. So exciting to get a parcel from the mailman. It's usually bills. :( I opened the bag to find these:

This is what i found:

a beautiful table topper, cupcake potholder - so cute, wrap for my coffee mug, a fat 1/4, notepad with pencil, sachets of hot chocolate & yummy choccies. Thanks Joy for the lovely gifts. oooo can't wait to the next swap. It's for Christmas. :)
