THE TRAVELLING PATTERN IS ON ITS WAY TO . . .


Thank you to everyone who left their name to become the next stitcher of the Travelling Pattern  ~ Lizzie*Kate's 'Life's A Stitch'.  
The next stitcher is . . .

KATE

Welcome to The Stitcherhood Kate, if you can send me your address details I'll pop it in the post to you!
As soon as Kate has stitched it, it will need another home to travel to so keep an eye on her blog and she can keep you up-to-date.

Tuesday, 20th September was a day of memories for DH and I as we celebrated


We received some lovely cards, bouquets of flowers, bottles of wine and some very calorific chocolates.
Our plan was to have a celebratory day out and both being void of present ideas would choose something together BUT unfortunately Twin II fell ill the day before and was really quite poorly, so much so that our planned day out together was put on hold and we played at being nursemaids instead!
Our celebratory meal that evening was a take-away and a bottle of bubbly ~ now how's that for a bit of romance???  It didn't matter to me though ~ DH and my 3 lovely children around me, I don't need anymore ~ it's been a great 25 years so far and I look forward to the next 25.

Oh yes, I hadn't forgotten you two!

Stitching news ~ well, a bit frustrating really!  I was a naughty girl a little while back and gave in to some on-line Sales but, due to so many other people doing the same thing, shipping orders has been dreadfully slow and communications with up-dates even more so!
I finally blew a fuse yesterday and had a rant at the culprits and Hey Presto! emails appeared immediately and orders are now being processed and some of them actually shipped!

In the meantime while I impatiently patiently wait I have started this one . . .



This is 'Gather a Harvest' by Lizzie*Kate which I'm stitching on linen with Gentle Art Sampler threads.  I don't have the exact listed thread colours but as Autumn colours are my favourites I think I can do it justice with what I have in my box already.

Take care everyone!
Thanks for stopping by
HAPPY STITCHING

Congratulations on 25 years together, Jane!! In this day and age that is really something to be proud of :)

I've had the same problem with a recent online order--finally emailed them yesterday. Still haven't heard back--it's been three weeks or more since I placed the order. I'm glad you've found a project to fill in in the mean time...The colors you've selected look perfect!

Happy anniversary! In this day of broken marriages, 25 years is really something.
I just received an order yesterday that took 4 weeks for me to received. It was actually shipped within 5 days of ordering. I don't know what took it so long to get here!

Happy 25th Anniversary and congratulations too! Oh that pic of the bunnies is just too cute. I am really impatient when it comes to online orders - some of the faster shippers really have me spoiled.
