The Angels that I was stitching on the last couple of weeks have now taken flight and left for their new home. These were such fun to stitch up and very quick. I wanted something that would stitch up quickly as I didn't want it to turn into another ufo, also I wanted it to get to it's destination quickly. As the last lot of photo's I showed of these were just terrible, I thought I'd take some close ups, also my completed photo isn't the best. Oh dear, what it would be, to be a good photographer.
I seem to have been bitten by the swap bug. I decided to join in on the 4 seasons swap and also the Christmas swap that's being hosted by Chookyblue. I've chosen my design for the 4 seasons swap and just need to work out fabrics and re size it so that it fits into the measurement requirements.
I've also started on my Pay It Forward items, these will probably take the rest of the week to complete as there's ........... in them. Sorry can't reveal what the ......... is, just in case the recipients read this post.
I managed to get another Australiana Red work block finished on Saturday, but stitching has been slow this weekend as my "sweetie" has pneumonia and isn't the best patient, in fact I'm surprised that he's still breathing at all....lol... Don't get me wrong, I love him dearly, but there just seems to be something about a sick male that's enough to make you.......... scream.... get well, and quickly.
Happy Stitching and thanks so much for stopping by and taking the time to comment.

Someone is going to be so lucky to be wrapped in angel hugs.
