HOE freebie exchange from Edgar



Oh see the beautiful piece I received from Edgar today... I am so fond of it! It is finished so beautifully, it feels so soft, I adore the colours... and Edgar, I hope you won't mind me saying this, this is the first piece I ever received stitched by a man... such a precious gift, thank you! I am just delighted with it... :)

Edgar also sent me two pieces of fabric, some DMC skeins, an adorable metal box with chocolate mints.... they disappeared FAST! :)

Time for a major update...

Watch this space over the next days... :)


Yup, I'm in Norway since 3 weeks and nope, life hasn't slowed down :)

How do you busy mothers manage to squeeze some stitching and blogging in? In between work during daytime, cooking, cleaning, gardening, walks with doggie and renewing the house gradually, I don't find time for blogging at all! But I've finally managed to stitch a bit yesterday and today.... a bit :)


Now that my HOE exchange piece is winging its way to my partner, not without hiccups, because not only I sent it late... which I never do! - but I also received it back today... from a country which name sounds very similar... and it's resent, of course... and now that another package is on its way to Nath in France, I signed up for the HOE needleroll exchange, that will be fun!! It's so long since I did the last needleroll. Or was it the first and the last till now? :)
