Look what came through the post for me the other day!
Joanne (Aussie Stitcher) had emailed me and said she would like to gift me with this chart off my wishlist as she had it and was finished with it. Of course I said I'd love to have it. I am finding these LHN "scripture" based charts really hard to get hold of. I was so surprised to find that Joanne had sent me a few extras too! So sweet and kind and she must know me really well as Lindt is my absolute favourite chocolate.
I have finished my secret new start but I am undecided now as to whether to use it in an exchange with someone I am in or just to keep it to myself. Hmmmm..... So no pics yet till I've made my mind up.
Here is a picture of my Dad's progress on I am Half Sick of Shadows:
It was taken on my dh's mobile phone so not a great pic but just look at that detail! It is looking amazing. I don't know how much of it he will continue to do or whether he will soon pass it back to me but he is doing a wonderful job don't you think?
Oh and I nearly forgot, this is what I made Elisa for the Stitch it and Pass it on blog. Cindy stitched and sent the chart to me then I stitched and sent it with the chart to Elisa and now Elisa will stitch it and send it witht the chart back to Tracy. I stitched it over 1 on 25 count using one strand of Crescent colours of my choice. I used double ribbon for the bow and outside edge and Moda sampler fabric for the back.

Thank you for all the lovely get well wishes. I am nearly there. Just another day of antibiotics left. Still very tired but feeling a lot better. xx
