WARNING - lots of pictures in this post!!
Michelle messaged me this evening to let me know that the PIF piece I stitched for her had arrived. The design appeared in June 2007 edition of GOSM and is the first ever Assisi cross-stitch I have done, I stitched it on 32 white Murano with Carries thread in “Happy”. I backed it with the fabric shown in the picture and finished with tassels made in the same thread.
Since receiving my redundancy pay I have been so good and not bought any stash with it, mainly house stuff and saving the rest for a “rainy day”. But I did treat myself to a couple of small packages firstly from Sew and So some Crescent Colour threads for my new project (which I will reveal at a later date), and a few DMC replacements
Secondly Michelle was having a stash sale and I purchased all her LHN charts and a CCN chart. Michelle very kindly also included a bonus chart of Milady’s Quaker Pinkeeps…which is fantastic…thank you so much Michelle x
Will be back later in the week with some stitchy updates….
Have a good week
Hugs & Stitches

Oh Elisa - I am so lucky - your PIF to me was lovely as are the photos you have shown us. The family look gorgeous - bless them and I love your flowers.
I am envious of your Cath Kidston workbox - I keep forwarding the the e-mails I receive about her sale to Andy's e-mail address but he hasn't take any hints!
Much love to you Michelle x
Dear Elisa!
Your PIF (and once I will know what this letters mean ;-) ) looks quite beautiful!
But the best fotos in this post are the ones of your children - sooo gorgeous!

Beautiful stitching.
The flowers look lovely and it sounds like your very busy getting the house sorted out.
Martha is growing up quickly make the most of it they will both be gone before you know it.
Lovely PIF Elisa, and great stash too.
I always seem to end up with random bits left over when I put together furniture so well done!
Love stitching. Like the stash - I wondered who beat me to the LHN charts on Michell's blog lol. The children are gorgeous and growng sooo fast. Well done on the DIY.
All kinds of good stuff Elisa! Love that pincushion and am drooling over your new stash ;)
Your kiddos are so cute and growing so fast!
Lovely PIF and lots of nice stash, looking forward to seeing WIP's in future posts.
