#14 My First RAK!

Well, as predicted very little stitching got done this weekend. The In-laws were down visiting from Scotland so spent most of the weekend out and about with them.

But on Friday I had a lovely surprise - sat on the bus on my way to work checking my emails only to find a new HAED chart sat waiting for me from a lady who I have never even spoken to before. This is the lovely thing about the RAK (random act of kindness, in case you are wondering) program, you sign up not really expecting anything and then you are totally taken by surprise!

Tamara, the lovely lady, purchased me the chart Dragonflies Whisper, which was on my Wish List on the site. I just love the colours, I want to buy the materials NOW but I must control myself.

So in the past week I have gone from zero charts to four. Oops.

Here is a picture of the very little stitching I did get done. Mr Pinchy will get done this week, he will he will he will...

Hope your stitching has been more successful than mine!


Happy Stitching! xo

#13 - HAED Sales are Evil

First, I just want to say thank you for all your lovely comments - I may not always reply to each and every one but I always read them and they always make me smile :)

Well, Bobs Birthday Sale is on at Heaven and Earth and since it is pay day tomorrow I indulged a little...
Bought myself three charts and also got a RAK as a thank you for the kind lady who got me in to making my wish list - I just hope I did it right as I haven't seen her online yet to check.

The first two I got where Faces of Feary 185 and 187 - well I couldn't get one without the other could I?!












These aren't usually the type I would go for but when I saw them I just fell in love.

My third chart was Anna of The Celts a HUGE chart at 98 pages - I think that one might take me a while!

I also won a gift from another blogger! Lovely Minnie at All XX's sent me a message informing me I had won a mystery prize for becoming her 100th follower! Yay!

Speaking of followers mine is saying 11 on my blog yet on the edit page tells me I have 20...odd.

Well Happy Stitching Everyone!
