I am pretty upset right now

Why you ask (if you are reading this)?  Because the wonderful Karla from The Patchwork Rabbit sent me these things

1.  A special cut of Zweigart 36count Floba Superfine (Cream) to stitch


Mary Hurst 1661
And the chart as well AND

All Was for an Appil
And
Mary Gail

And some silk threads as well for another project.  It was sent out first class last Wednesday before 2pm and the envelope still hasn't arrived.

Maybe I will have better news on Monday.

So in the meantime

Hugs

I'm Starting To Stitch

I have finally started to stitch again sort of properly.  I am so much slower than I was when I quit it's quite scary.  But started I have.  I have started stitching

 American Quaker Band Sampler 1803

The Scarlet Letter

And so far mine looks like this after a good few hours stitching.  I think I told you that my right arm isn't great and I am trying to stitch two handed with a wonky arm but it's okay because it's resting on a table and my left hand is on top and is working so much faster than my right hand.  But I'll get there.  I also goofed on this and miscounted and stitched the first upward line 14 stitches instead of 15 but I can get this right by adding an extra stitch on the right hand side so it ends up all present and correct.


I also bought the Lizzie Kate kit (apart from the fabric because I have so much) for Things Unseen Mystery Sampler and I have Part 1, the threads and the button pack from The Patchwork Rabbit owned by Karla and her husband.  It's not exactly my style but I shall stitch it for one of my children.



Well that's it from me for now except to say that I love hearing your messages so please leave me one.

Lots of Love
