I am currently between projects with my cross stitching. I just can't settle on what to stitch. Saturday afternoon I spent a couple of hours sitting in the garden going through all my cross stitch magazines but nothing shouted 'STITCH ME NOW'. I have one more exchange to work on this week, it's stitched just need to do the finishing, and then we will see what happens.
I recieved the most wonderful scissor keep from Lisa for the scissor keeper exchange run by Becky. Isn't it beautiful!
My scissors are already safely tucked inside :-)
Lisa said that this is her first time making a scissor keep but you can't tell. Her stitching and finishing are perfect as is her attention to detail. The inside is lined with the cutest bee print fabric and the button closure is adorable. Thank you so much Lisa, I love it :-)
Now, just because I haven't been doing much cross stitch this past week, doesn't mean that I have been sitting doing nothing! I stitched up another two tea towels for gifts.
This fabulous little cupcake is one of four designed by Mollie Johanson from Wild Olive exclusively for DMC. The pattern is a freebie and can be found here. One of these is for my mum, it was her birthday last week :-) we had a wonderful mother/daughter day out shopping together. The other is for one of DD's Brownie leaders, Snowy Owl. As DD was the only one going to the Brownie holiday, Snowy said that she would be happy to take DD and bring her home too, saving us a 140 mile round trip. Snowy would not take any money from me to help toward her fuel costs so I hope she will accept this little gift as a mark of our appreciation.
Well, that's all for now. hopefully next time I will be able to tell you all about my new cross stitch start :-)
Have a great week,
Sadie x

Cute cupcakes, I envy who is getting them. The scissor keep you got is really cute as well. Also am glad to hear you DD enjoyed her Brownie "camp" and made some new friends.
Beautiful scissor keeper Sadie and I just love the tea towels.
Look forward to seeing what you stitch next.
Ooh - Love your new scissor keep - so cute! Nice tea towels, too!
Sadie,
It's always a pleasure to read your blog and see what you've been up to each time. It always brightens my day. :-)
Love the little cakes and the scissor keeper....
Cute, cute little cupcake stitchy gifts! I'm certain Snowy will love the one you give to her! :D
It's good to hear that DD had a good time and that you are all enjoying the yard.
I've been in a stitching slump myself, but earlier today I knuckled down (had to) to start stitching a lost-exchange replacement. So far, it's fun, though I feel nervous that my partner won't like the item!
The exchange you received is beautiful! I love the tea towels with the cupcake design as well. so cute! The scissor pocket you made is also very beautiful!
I love your scissor keeper, I definitely need one!

I love cupcakes! I am going to print this one off and stitch it for my mil's birthday next year. This year I made cupcake earrings for her and she really loved them.
