Congratulations, and thank you to everyone of you who entered. I wish I could have a gift for everyone. I got my daughter to draw a name out, and she closed her eyes to do it. LOL

Another Souvenir

I decided to stitch another souvenir, this one is for me, but I've made a mistake. What do you think? Shall I leave it? I'm tempted to leave it? This one was stitched on 45 count linen, so is smaller than the previous one, and therefore not as easy to frog. I'm not going to tell you what the mistake is but I'm sure you can spot it if you look hard enough.

Royal Wedding Giveaway


A Royal Wedding Souvenir
by The Sampler Girl

I have decided to have a giveaway. The gift being this pin pillow which I have stitched and finished, together with a Union Jack Keyring, and a commemorative box of Clotted Cream Fudge.

To enter - all you need to do is a leave a comment on this post.

If you want an extra entry then you should advertise this giveaway on your blog or website and leave another comment with the link to the post.

This giveaway is open to anyone in the world, but if it is doubtful that your country will let the confectionery through, then I can just send you the commemorative card off the front of the box with the other items.

I need to give you a closing date/time, so this will be 8am (UK time) on Friday 6th May.

A special day


Morning all, well it's morning in the UK. I don't think there can be many people in the world who have escaped knowing about the Royal Wedding. So I have decide to have a giveaway. Come back later to see my Royal Wedding Giveaway and join in the fun.

Thank you

I just want to say a Big Thank You to everyone who took the time to leave me a comment. I have received lots of lovely comments from lots of people I have never 'met in blogland' before, and it's nice to visit blogs I've never seen before. If you left me a comment and it includes your email address, then I am getting around to thanking you personally, and if you don't receive an email from me, then I have deleted yours by mistake, but there are quite a few that I have no way of contacting, and I am truly grateful. I also wanted to say that I am still stitching, it's blogging I am having the problem with. However, something has happened this week to give me a little bit of a cheer up, I won't go into detail but this could finally be the end of something which started a long time ago.

And now I'm sure everyone here is thinking about Japan, it is on the news all of the time. My heart goes out to everyone there, I cannot comprehend what they are going through. Their emotions must be all over the place with what is going on. I only know of two stitching sisters from there - I know there will be lots more. It's nice to know that Yuko is safe, and today I have heard from Satomi (who was one of my first exchange partners), but how will their country recover from this.

This is THE END

I've been wanting to post this for the last two weeks. So here it is

THIS IS THE END.



I don't want it to be the end, but that's how I feel. I'm in a real slump at the moment, please send me some encouragement, and some PMA, I really need it.

What do you want to see here?

What do you want me to post about?

What do you like to see best on a blog post?

PS - PMA = Positive Mental Attitude

Happy Valentines Day



Just popped in to say hope you all have a nice Valentines Day. I have lots of stitching to share, but I need to get it on the camera and then uploaded. My mother in law was rushed into hospital late Wednesday night, and with work and hospital visiting on an evening, and a couple of other things I had to do at the weekend I am way behind on HW and subsequently blog reading. I've just had a quick look at what photo's are uploaded and decided to let you seem some random ones.





The birds, there were 8 when I went for the camera,
but by the time I had the camera and got to take a pic,
most had flown away. LOL





The view from the front of my house, looking to the left.
Thankfully the snow has gone, and we don't want it back!





The view to the right from my front garden fence.



The fountain in the city centre is flood lit,
and looked very nice when it was frozen in the bad weather.
