x-mas in july

Hello lovelies!

Sorry this comes bit late. I've been so busy with school hardly had no time taking photos.

Here are beautiful gifts I received from Viv last week. All the way from Canada. I know there was a postal strike and I moved last month to another town so it took some time to travel. I was very happy to receive it. I just love everything you've put together Viv! Ornie, lace and the thimble:)

All the best

Christmas in July- ornie received

Thank you very much from the ornament Viv!
It arrived yesterday after travelling a month!

I'll add pictures in the weekend since I don't have my camera with me now.
I got some really beautiful lace and a gorgeus ornament and even a canadian thimble!
I'm so very thrilled. Thank you Viv:)
Niina

Ornie and more

Here is a pic of the lovely ornament received from Lynn yesterday
for the Christmas in July Exchange .
It is so cute and she sent a few goodies along with it which will
certainly come in handy with the xmas season and all the projects I want to do.
Thank you so much...vivian

Hello Ladies

Hi all,

I've only just figured out how to post on here lol

My name is Jaclyn and i live in Greater Manchester. I've been stitching for 13 years and love it.

Is there any plans for any more exchanges in the next few months? Looking forward to taking part.

Ornie received...

My "Christmas in July" Ornament was received from Niina a couple of weeks ago and I have been way behind on posting things to my blog and groups. SO sorry!
She also sent along 3 straw ornies from Finland as well. They are all SO gosh darned CUTE! I love them all!
Thank you so much Niina!

(Sorry it won't let me comment lol)

Xmas in July mailed

just a quick note to let you know that I have posted my package.
with the postal strike just getting over, hope my package doesn't end up in a basket somewhere as they are not working overtime to clear up the backlog. So it may take a little longer to get to its destination.

X-Mas in July exchange updates!

Hi all exchangers please post here an update as to if you shipped your package out yet. Also then post when you have received your package.

Thank you,

Kyla

I'm sorry too - update...

Unfortunately I am in the same dilemma as Lorna, I have it stitched but not made up. Needed to wait for threads and now I'm stuck as to how to make it up, I should be able to get it in the post by the weekend.

Edited to say:
Posted my exchange Thursday! Hope my partner likes it!

sorry

my exchange is going to be ever so slightly late, i have finished stitching but not finishing, should be out by the weekend, dont know where the time goes, and i thought it was the middle of the month until i came to check just in case lol

sorry again

Strange...

For some reason I have been unable to comment on posts despite being a member of the blog so thought I would make a post instead.

I'm a little worried about my Valentine's Exchange piece as it has now been 2 weeks since I mailed it.

Also I would like to join in the Buttons & Thimbles exchange, although don't have a chart as yet, I love the theme though!

Think that's it, also looking forward to seeing what everyone has stitched for the Valentines Exchange.

SIGN UPS ARE NOW OPEN…

The theme for this exchange is buttons n thimble. You must have a thimble and buttons somewhere in the exchange, on your design or included in the package. No extras unless it is buttons or thimbles. The usual rules apply for the exchange, an item must be stitched and finished (I thought a pocket or pouch would be a great finish but I leave that up to everyone’s creativity, as long as it is finished).

For the Buttons n Thimble Pocket exch...sign up by 31^st January, 2011. Partners will be emailed to you by Feb 2^nd, 2011 and stitched piece to be mailed out by 1^st March 2011.

Leave a comment on this post if you wish to join this exchange and then email me with your full name, mailing address, email. My email is on the sidebar.

Have fun with this one, I am sure everyone has lots of buttons laying around.

Vivian

(hope I didn't forget anything, this is my first time doing this)

Valentines Exchange mailed

Took it to the post office this afternoon, not sure how long it will get take to get to it's destination, my last one took longer than expected.

Thank you Elisa

You beat me to it as I was just about to put a photo up. I've had a bug for the last half of the week and vistors at the weekend so this is the first opportunity to get on the computer.

It is a gorgeous pillow and I am so lucky to have received it. Mine will be on its way this week as soon as I can get out to the post office.

Love and hugs,

Sue xx
