I'm not fully 100% yet and still having to pop back to see the doctor from time to time, but I am now having more days where I feel so much more like myself. Colin has been back home for his time off and last Monday left to go back to work again for another 6 weeks. I am getting excited about my stitching again which I've not felt much like doing while I've been unwell. Recently I finished 3 ornaments from the chart Peace, Love, Joy by Renato Parolin an Italian designer. They still need making up but you can see a picture of the chart here. I've also noticed since finishing them that Amy (DSL) now stocks them. I have quite a few pieces I finished last year which I never got around to making up, which I'm looking forward to doing and hope to show soon. I have one small finish that I can share for now though, which I made for my Mum. She should have had it along with her present for Mother's Day but I never even managed that in time and only made it up a couple of days ago.
The design is a freebie by Ariane Jean Pierre which I have stitched on 32ct Antique White Belfast Linen with Polstitches Romance Dragon Floss. For the tassels I used DMC 3836.
Thank you for popping by and I hope to be back again soon. :o)

Welcome back Carol - you have been truly missed! I hope you will soon be 100% and will treat us to some of your gorgeous stitching/finishing.
And you have joined the wonderful world of Macs! If you need any help with anything - just shout! You will never go back to a pc - Macs rule!
Cute cherub pillow with beautiful tassels.
Welcome back! Glad to hear you're starting to feel better. Your little freebie cushion is gorgeous - those have to be the most perfect wee tassels I've ever seen! :D
Welcome Back Carol ! You were missed. I hope you're feeling better each day. Your finish is beautiful. As always your eye for colour and finishing is spot on.
I hope you are feeling 100% very soon! Your finish is gorgeous! And we use Macs at our house. I think the OS is fantastic!

Good to see you posting again - hope you start to feel 100% very soon. Beautiful finish - love the colours & finish. :0)
This is beautiful.
Thank you Carol.
Welcome back Carol. I'm so glad to see you posting again. Glad you are better and I know you will really love your Mac. When I got mine my dh said I would hate it as I had always had a PC but I wouldn't have a PC again now if somebody paid me to... well maybe if they paid me enough but I still couldn't give up my Mac. Have you bought any of the programs yet for it? My new Mac came with iLife but I bought iWorks and it is great. Let me know if you need any help with it. Lots of Love Patti xxx
What a shame to read you have been poorly, I am glad to hear things are improving for you now. Long may it continue!

Hi Carol! I am searching for this pattern. I can't find it anywhere. I am on a deadline. I am trying to find it for a quilt we are putting together for a lady on our board that just found out she has cancer. Please help. Thanks! Crystal xaviersmommie00@Gmail.com
Hi Carol,
I love this little pillow, I am trying to find the link to the pattern, please could you let me know where you got it from, I have searched but without success?

Carol, I really like your little pillow with the fairy on it. I have searched for this free chart, but have been unable to find it. Would you please share the site where the chart is located.

Hi Carol. I am just getting back into stitching. What a difference from "then to now". Wow. The internet opens a whole new world.
You have some lovely items. What an inspiration. I am wondering if you can tell me how to go about getting the French Angel pattern. I went to the freebie website but can't find a link. Can you help? Its so beautiful (can't promise mine would be as lovely -- but I'll try!)
Thanks so much. Debbie
Hi Deborah, I hope you get to see this. Would you like to contact me, my email address is in my profile. :o)
