Back again with a big thank you!

I'm back again from my trip to the Borders (the Scottish ones, not the book shop - you made me laugh Cathy!) I had a lovely but mentally tiring time. Lots of talking and travelling and catching up with my mum and dad. Lots of looking at places and houses too, to see where we might want to live if we move up there. All very confusing! Not much stitching got done but I do have a couple of things to post pictures of in the next day or so.

I came back to some lovely post. A combined birthday and welcome home present from dear Sylvie. Isn't this gorgeous? No surprises that there's a cat theme!


I love the wall hanging but there were other goodies too - a lovely cat kitchen glove, some beautiful silks (my favourite Gloriana Cranberry and a Vicki Clayton one), a cat chart I'd admired when Sylvie stitched it (with some leftover thread and beads), and a beautiful hand-made card.


Thank you so much Sylvie! I love it all.

I'm very behind on blog reading etc. now, so I hope everyone's OK. I know I have some emails for people wanting to join the ornament SAL too, so I'll get round to them before the weekend. Please bear with me.

  1. Glad you had a wonderful time - which side of the borders do you think you'll move too? North west or North East I live near to the NW borders.

  2. Sounds like you had a great time. My Aunt lives in Newton St Boswells and has just sold up in order to move back up to near Glasgow. Its lovely around where she lives.

  3. You are welcome, my friend :) I'm glad you like what I sent, Nicki :)
    I didn't know the Gloriana silk was your favourite, I just thought it would be perfect for a red lover ;)

    I'm glad you had a great time with your parents :)

    I'll email you back as soon as possible.

    (((hugs)))
