Hi all, I am a new member and ahould tell you a little about myself.

I will have a noughty birthday this year, and have a son who had a noughty birthday on the 21st May and my daugher who is 6 years old.

Hi Everyone!

I've just joined this Blog, so thought I'd tell you something about myself:
My name is Lynn, and I'm a 40-something Primary School Teacher and Guide Guider.  I am married with 3 'grown up' children of 21, 20 and 17.  I have been stitching for more than 24 years, and I have a blog here, where I show my progress on my WIPs and UFOs and chat about life in general.

Looking forward to exchanging with you soon!

My Buttons n Thimble exchange. What a beautiful pouch lined with felt. The colors are fabulous and the buttons way too cute, I just love them. I love the design from San Man Originals "Funky Flowers", a fabulous finish with a ribbon sewed on the back that says "Stitched by Elisa".

Thank you so much Elisa,
I will find a special place for this...

Rec'd my Valentines Exchange from Vivian the other day. Sorry as am a bit late posting. I LOVE what she made for me and have it hanging up in a special wall area of my sewing room. She also added in a small wooden needle holder as well as her post card from sunny Florida!
Thank you again Vivian for such a cute little exchange.

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.
