Mid-month Milestone!

Has been a very good period lilies-stitching-wise:) There has been loads of same color stitching, that i was cruising through my way, very much at peace with the silent night!

Not much of Freddie done, probably a stitch or two. So no piccies of Freddie or his shelf. There was a lot of Mary popping here and there... Love the simple stitches in this piece. I am kind of liking the combination i chose finally!! There has been a additional 'star' done so my Mary is going to be taller than she was charted to be, LOL. 4 squares taller, ahem. So i am also thinking - i will not stitch the bottom border. I might add a 'star' row at the bottom if i feel like it once the whole sampler is done.

Book-wise i had a nightmare reading The Gathering by Anne Enright. I stopped reading mid-way. I am currently reading September the book i had originally planned as my first 2011 book. I am LOVING this book, and I am ENJOYING being with the characters. And, i am LIKING the fact that i am still NOT halfway through the book, so i know i can relish the book longer. Crazy, eh?

And finally, here is what i sent to Laurence in Belgium.... I am sharing this pic as i heard from her (and she has also blogged about it!) it has reached her last week! In addition to what i had mentioned in my giveaway, i had sent her a pair of ear-hangings, which were closest to the color i stitched the L in. And i am so very happy she loved them every one of the simple things i sent her. Hurrah indeed:)

Here is the letter L shot! I LOVED stitching this, and plan to stitch some more this year for my blogging  stitcher friends:)

Now the only other thing that i am waiting to hear is if this lady from UK has received what was shipped the same day as Laurence's. We will know soon!

I leave you with this photo of my son taken last Friday when we went shopping. There was this huge sale going on in the malls, and we bagged quite a LOT for our darling son. Today he has a Class Photograph being taken, that will be so precious to have.

Hope you have a great week ahead! full of stitching time and time well spent with family and those you love. Do leave me some comments, they make me so happy:)
