Very Kind Elves

I have had two very kind Elves pop some lovely gifts in my Christmas stocking.The first little Elf, our own very lovely "Swap Mama" Cheryll from Gone Stitchin' thought of me when she was on her holiday to China and knowing how much I love Bookmarks had one made with my name on it and translated according to Chinese and it turns out "I live my life to make a lot of good memories". How cool is that. There is also a gorgeous mother of pearl Korean Book mark....so pretty. Definitely two for my collection. Cheryll also made me 6 lovely Christmas coasters with a personal bloggy message from her blog to mine. Thank you so much Cheryll.

The other lovely little Elf is Joy from Joyful Stitching who has been an avid stitcher of my designs for a very long time now. Joy is also the most kind and generous lady. Joy has made the sweetest mug rug. She has cross-stitched the cutest reindeer with gorgeous little robins on his antlers and also a beautiful cross-stitched card with a mail box and matching little robin....just beautiful. Thank you Joy.

Both you ladies made my day with your generosity and kindness....big hugs to you both (((((0)))))

A very warm day here today in the Sunshine State. So lots of cool drinks and maybe even a dip with my lizardy dragony friend. Although he seems to have vanished as quickly as he arrived.
I also have all these bits and pieces to trace out....
and get prepared to stitch. Looks like ready or not you are all going to get another healthy dose of projects from the old "Rag-tag Stitchin'" in 2014. Ohhh! I love new designs and the excitement of getting them on to the fabric to see them come to life in thread! I thought if I prepare it all now I can quietly do a little stitching over the holiday season when I feel like it. I think perhaps I am a little bit obsessed. Thank Goodness!!!
Enjoy your day.
Blessings Michelle xxx
