I had all intentions of stitching up a storm last night over at
Cheryll's with the rest of my blogging friends. However I had such a full on day of running around getting all the "domestic duties" that besiege us all that by the time I got home I was had it......so much so I actually forgot I had a coffee date with my old work colleagues (feeling very bad and sucking up the teasing like a big girl at the moment) that afternoon....so not like me!
When I eventually got over my disappointment about my senior moment and not seeing the girls I did achieve one of my goals I had set myself for the evening which was...because I can't count, to make an extra gingie person!
So! Ta Da!.....my whole nights effort....
I also christened my new Santa mug rug.....very festive having a cuppa out of my fav Frosty mug! Thanks again Teresa...love it!
Thank you so much to the very lovely Cheryll for encouraging us to stitch madly once a month with all our blogging friends. It is always good fun.
It is the time of year when poor old postie has a very full satchel but I so appreciated some lovely mail she bought yesterday. It came all the way from the UK. If you are a long time follower of my blog you will know I love the art and works of Beatrix Potter. So does a lovely lady who follows my blog, Sue who lives in the UK. Sue has spoilt me in the past with special Beatrix Potter cards and yesterday I was spoilt again....
A beautiful Christmas card...isn't it adorable! I never tire of looking at her beautiful illustrations.
Thank you so much Sue xxx
Sue also popped inside a postcard featuring another favourite...hexies!
It is from the American Museum in Britain in Bath which has a collection of antique quilts. Sue recently made a visit there. The quilt on the postcard is a friendship quilt dating from 1848. Each of the 90 flowers has a signature on it. What a very fortunate person was the lady who received this quilt from her friends. Thank you so much Sue for thinking of me on your trip and ...yes! I do love my hexies!
I am off to write some Christmas cards...
I wish you all a wonderful weekend,
Namaste and Blessings,
Michelle xxx

Your mind slip is very common at this time of year I think. At the very least it's acceptable on a Friday xox

It's hard to remember everything for everyone at this time of year, so maybe it wasn't a senior moment after all! Lovely christmas touches at your place, very cute mug rug.

ReplyDeleteLovely little gingie and the BP card is gorgeous.
Love seeing all the Jim Shore goodies and pleased the little table topper was useful.
