A surprise in the post

Welcome my friends.

Stop for a short visit with me.

Today is Waitangi Day or New Zealand day.

For most of us it is a holiday.

On Monday I found lovely mail in my mail box.

Illene from retdairyqueen.blogspot had a giveaway. I wrote my comment .

I won one of the two giveaways.

`Too Pooped`.

Thankyou Illene for your giveaway I will be stitching this soon.

This little kit came with 14ct Aida.

 I love stitching on 28ct  so cut a piece for me to stitch `Too Pooped` 

 from my linen in the cupboard.

I will give my YD the Adia for her stitching.

I had another project to stitch this month

 for my ` Birthday Month`but since the threads have not come yet 

 I think `Too Pooped` is taking it`s place.

Above is my progress on `Mystery Sampler`.

For some reason photos not true to colours.

Hopefully next time they will be.

I`m using `Silk n Colors` Dickens Christmas`

Needle Necessities 142 (green)

DMCs 936,834,3828,3834 and Perle12 #712.

This Sampler is designed by `Elizabeth Darrah 

donated to the `Northern North Island Region as 

a progressive sampler from 1st Nov 2012-1st April 2013.

Thankyou for visiting and I love the comment I get from my blog.

Happy Stitching,

Clare
