WOW - I was speechless when this arrived through my letterbox from Cathy, not only did I receive my first ever piece of hardanger from Cathy she sent me 2 pieces and they are so delicate and pretty, I also received my first ever pair of gingher scissors too, it was a wonderful exchange parcel to receive and I am so delighted with it, Cathy's hardanger is a real treat I am in awe of hardanger creators and Cathy yours is beautiful and I love the colours that you picked for me. - thankyou so much.
Now I promised you a picture too of the wonderful gift I received from Paula, and I really apologise for being late in showing you any pictures, but this is what I wanted to show you. I felt so amazingly spoiled by Paula when this wonderful package arrived and I love every single one of them and will use them all. I just so love Paulas MoP designs and needle holders they are so lovely. When I first started blogging, Paula, Romy and myself did an ornament SAL together for a few months, and we are hoping that maybe again the 3 of us will pick back up again where we left off.
Thankyou to you all for good wishes about my health - no its not too great lately at all, but this time both Mark and I have gone under together and we have gastric flu, there's been talk of samples and tests and hospitals which is a sure way to get us both back on our feet ASAP lol!!, THough joking aside its been pretty rough few days and I am feeling slighlty better than I was, hence I'm actually up and sitting at the computer typing, and maybe just maybe I might get a few stitches done later today - I have not picked up my stitching now in over a week, I stitching something for mum for her birthday last Friday and so still haven't got it finished, I will endeavour to get it done and then I can start on my tea exchange piece and Katrinas PIF, which I am now so embarrasingly late with. I'm feeling a little weary now and my head is thumping so I'll go off and go have a lie down. Til tomorrow perhaps

I hope you're feeling better soon, flu is the worst. I'm sure the beautiful hardanger made you feel a little better. What a wonderful surprise it must have been to receive it.
