Part 5 And A Smile Maker

I was not feeling too good yesterday, I think this dreadful weather is getting too me and I have been really headachey over the last few days. I did my ivy leaf first thing and then went into town but by the time I got back I really did not feel up to stitching so QM stayed in the box.

Feeling a little better last night I decided I would just have a go at Gigi (I had already made a start and done half of it a wee while ag0). The result was a finish for part 5 so that was pleasing.


There were a couple of nice things on the doormat when I got back from town however. First a little pink package - I was not expecting anything - and it was my June DD silks arriving early so that was nice and made me smile.

The biggest smile however came when I opened a small envelope from Sally to find she had RAK me with the beautiful Christmas Candle Chart from The Cat's Whiskers. I had admired this when I saw it on her blog and bless her she just knew it was my sort of thing. So BIG BIG thank you Sally, I am still smiling from ear to ear.
