Can I squeeze in a quick one??

Happy New Year everyone! Hope 2008 is a happy and prosperous one for you all. Was not going to post till baby came but a couple of things have happened that I just need to write about. First off I am so pleased to announce that I won the cross stitchers lottery!!! I can't tell you how chuffed I am to be recieving so many lovely stitched pieces. I look forward to recieving some great gifts in the post!

Also, today I recieved this beautiful wall hanging from Judith!
Gift from Judth Jan08

Its so pretty Judith. Thank you.

I have also been adding to my stash! Well, I'm not giving up my favourite hobby just because we are adding to our family lol. Just a short break perhaps. I figured that if I didn't get these charts now then maybe I'd never get them. The only place I cound find these charts was Wyndham Needleworks. Let me know if you know of another supplier of Exampler Dames designs. I only found two other suppliers but their stock of charts was low. So here are what I ordered:

Examplar Dames "Love"
Examplar Dames "Faith"
Examplar Dames "Prosperity"
Indigo Rose "Mary's Pin Pillow"
Indigo Rose "Peek a boo Pin Cushion"
Carriage House Samplings "Folk Art Pincushions"

So just a last splurge with some Christmas money I got this year. It might be a while before I splurge again.

I have also nearly finished Simple Little Quaker. I am into the last page and am pleased with how it is turnign out. If I don't get it finished before I go into the hospital then I shall be taking it in with me!! I don't know what I'll be taking in if I do get it finished - maybe my Patchwork. Or maybe a little biscornu design or something. I will be staying in for a few days to recover from the c section and dh will be at home in the evenings with dd so I may as well take something in to occupy myself with.

Oh also to thank Tracy for her lovely Christmas treats I sent her a parcel and amm pleased to say it arrived safely. Unfortunately I didn't take pics of what I sent but you can find it on her blog.

Until baby arrives then.......
