I saw the other day

on the Tiny Treasures Exchange Blog that Sabine from Belgium received the biscornu I stitched for her. I enjoyed stitching it very much.....just the writing over 1 on 40ct linen was a little bit of a pain.... Sewing my first biscornu together and adding the beads around the corners was a lot of fun, too. It was the first biscornu I stitched:

YAY!!!

I got my biscornu from the Tiny Treasures exchange. It came all the way from Pokua in autumnly Australia. And autumn is also the theme of this gorgeous biscornu. I love it so much. It is beautifully finished with beads around the corners that are the same colour as the stitching....my first own biscornu. Thank you so much Pokua!!!!

And look at the goodies that came with it beads in the same colour of the stitching, a wonderful big heart bead and a calendar with pictures from Australia...

Peppermint Twist SAL night

Last night was Pepperment Twist SAL night again. I managed to stitch quite a bit last night. I just can't decide to fill in the year in the top box....I never know if I will stick with this till it is finished or if it will go in the box to wait a few years.... :) But I am so looking forward to next monday's SAL night as I will stitch the candycane border on top of this part....just love the yummie red.


I decided on a biscornue design for the Tiny Treasures Exchange Group and hope to find some nice silks in my stash. Now that I have finished Deb's Hello Neighbor RR I can concentrate on that. The mailing deadline is March 31, 2009.

This scissorskeeper was my first finish of the year. Just a small one but still a finish. I stitched it as an exchange piece for Michelle with the Tiny Treasures Exchange Group.

incl. finishing as scissorskeeper

Yesterday I stitched for a little bit on Take Time To Quilt Spring. But I was so tired I didn't do too much.



Tonight I won't have a lot time to stitch as well. While my husband waited in the parking lot at my workplace to pick me up the plant manager left heading home. They both met a year ago on a trip to Germany and so he stopped at our car for a bit of talking and gave Derek some Eishockey tickets for tonight. Our plant is a big sponsor of the local team so there are always free tickets available and he had some left over.... :) Time to leave now. See you later :)

I received my Tiny Treasures Exchange from Gaby today!

When I came home from work a brown envelope from Germany was waiting in the mailbox for me. Gaby knows how to make a monday a nice day.... This is the beautiful scissorsfob she made for me. Isn't it just adorable? And I love how she finished it with these cute little beads matching the colors of the design.

And all the goodies together:



She even managed to pick my favourite German Chocolate.

Gaby, thank you so much!!! I JUST LOVE IT!!!!

Now I have to decide if I will attach it to a pair of scissors or If I am going to start a little basket to display some wonderful needleworks....
