and one of the other monkey....pucker up!!
and a few of a full tummy little girl....
Here is my exchange package I received from Athalie in Australia, this is for the Crafty Natter Christmas Ornament Exchange, it is an exquisite Just Nan design ornament called "A Little Joy", it is perfect and in all my favourite colours....Athalie also included a lovely Christmas card and a Heart In Hand chart "Little Angel in The Clouds". Thanks you so much Athalie...I love it!!
Lastly, I finished up my LHN "Schoolgirl Lessons", into a wall hanging yesterday, to hand above my desk in my bedroom. I used some lovely stitchy themed fabric to back it, which was one of the gifts from my friend Michelle, which she got me from the Harrogate Show, the weekend I was in hospital, it is a perfect match. I trimed the hanging with a navy braid, pale blue ribbon and pearl pins. It looks magic....
Well I am feeling much better now, all my wounds are healed and infections are cleared up and apart from surviving on 4 hours of sleep, I am rather chipper!! Isaac is spending his first overnight stay with Daddy and his girlfriend tonight, which means that tomorrow morning, I can go back to sleep after Martha's 5am feed rather than having to get up with a lively boy....I may try to get the sewing achine out and make a start on Martha's wall hanging, I have stacks for letters to write too, I may do some of those today, if I try to do a few each day, hopefully I may catch up.
I am also still deciding on the floss toss for my Beatrix Potter Sampler SAL, I had ordered some heather colours in DMC, but I feel now I would like to do something in a more varigated colour pallette...a visit to Sew and So is required I think.
Wishing everyone a good weekend.....and I bit thank you for all your messages, emails, comments etc over the past few weeks, I really appreciate them all.
Hugs and Happy Stitching

Beautiful children! And your stitching isn't too bad, either. Martha is adorable. Issac is Issac, I see.
Glad you're doing better.

She is beautiful. How on earth are you finding time for all that stitching, you can't be sleeping much.
I can't believe Martha is 3 weeks old already! Where did those weeks go? She is adorable. Lovely pics of you and Isaac too. He looks very proud of his baby sister.
Love the way you've finished Schoolgirl Lessons and the ornament from Athalie is beautiful.
