With DMC Variations 4210!! I wanted to stitch something for the tin topper challenge on the Monthly Finishing Challenge blog and stitched this motif from an AMAP chart I have on 36 count Edinburgh Antique white linen (which I have also come to adore) but found that the design is too big for the little Altoids tin I have :(
I guess I will save it for another finishing challenge.
So then I set about stitching another motif - same colours, same fabric, again from AMAP and I think this will fit :)
Cathy B wrote me to say she got the ABC exchange I sent her so I can now show pics. This is La D Das A-Z and between I made into a pinkeep for her:
and I also wanted to get her a chart off her wishlist but when it came I was just too tempted so made it her as well as giving her the chart. This is Notforgotton farm's Alphabet pinpoke and I stuffed it with lavender and backed it with the same fabric as the pinkeep. I sent her some extras too but don't have pics of those.
Did I mention that Sally sent me the Brightneedle chart? Here it is, I so love this.
Also got the Thank You Sarah Tobias chart from Down Sunshine Lane this week fromthe GC that Jenn sent me. It is fab and can't wait to stitch something from this book.

I have been extremely tired this week and have had very little sleep for the last three nights. I sometimes get these attacks of insomnia!! Don't know how much stitching I'll get done this week and I have also got our weekenders trip away with the Jayne's Attic forum on Friday too. I am looking forward to it but just hope I can stay awake the whole weekend.
Thanks for all your comments, they mean so much. Happy stitching. xx

What a great exchagne!
Hope the insomnia passes soon. Love the exchange you made, everything is so pretty.
The exchange you made is really beautiful, congratulations!! I love DMC 4210 too, it's such a lovely colour, you've stitched lovely pieces with it. Oh I hope you'll be able to sleep well soon!
Love seeing the DMC all stitched up - I stocked up on it to do a large monochromatic design and now I can see that I made a good color choice. :)
WONDERFUL pinkeep!!!
What a pretty pinkeep. I love the fabric you used on the back of it.
Hope your insomnia goes away soon.
Sarah Tobias is a great book - enjoy!
Love the exchange you sent - very pretty.
And your Tin topper pieces look beautiful!
I love the pin keep, gorgeous.
Hazel - Just want to thank you again for the lovely ABC exchange that you sent to me. La D Da designs are my favorites. The pinpoke is really cute too! They are very special and I will treasure them!
The pinkeep and pinpoke (what a funny word...) are beautiful!!!
Hey hunny, I will 'pinpoke' you if you fall asleep on me over the weekend LOL. I love your stuff but then you already knew that.
