Evening All, a flying visit as about to disappear into the garden with a nice glass of something. I saw this subscription offer and thought of you.

I am nothing to do with this company at all and am not advertising on their behalf. I have ordered a few subscriptions from them before for Xstitch magazines and they have been really good. I have been looking at this magazine for some time but was way to expensive.

Hope it helps.

These are not on the 13 things list but I made these this week.

The ballet shoes on the ribbon bracelet are made using Free Standing Lace method using my embroidery machine. i thought these would nmake a nice present for a young girl. I add things like to my stash in case a present in needed unexpectedly.

Hello there,

Finished my final stitch for Sandy Hook.

Now what next in stitching - two birth samplers - going to use the teddy I used for Sandy Hook as it was a good quick stitch.

Combination of two of my favourite stitching ways - samplers and blackwork and even got in my favourite stitch - algerian eye.



Keep well everyone - catch you later -off to update my list and my signature strip.
