Andrea's pay it forward has arrived and I have a blog award!

I had a very exciting day yesterday, my pay it forward arrived from Andrea and I was given my first blog award from Nancy! 

Andrea from The Craft Room made me the most gorgeous pinkeep in one of my favourite colours with a matching card printed with butterflies - I absolutely love anything that has a butterfly theme! I now know how excited Cindy F felt when she received the pinkeep I made for her.

I was sooooo excited to receive something made by Andrea as she truly is an expert needlewoman, her stitching is absolutely perfect. Thankyou so much Andrea I shall treasure this pinkeep always.

Prairie Schooler pin keep received.

Here is the Prairie Schooler pinkeep that I made for Cindy F in the February Prairie Schooler exchange. I did keep it a closely guarded secret even though Cindy and I had exchanged emails on the day I posted it. I actually mentioned that I was posting my Prairie Schooler exchange but

she had no idea she was the recipient, I cannot believe I managed to keep that secret!

I made the mistake of putting HOE for Hooked on Exchanging and realised I should have put

PS for Prairie Schooler but it was way too late to change it all, I just did not have the heart

to pull it all apart!

Tiny Cross Stitched Biscornu Finished small enough to fit onto a dmc thread holder.

Do you want to see a Tiny Cross Stitched Biscornu finished small enough to fit on the top of a DMC stranded cotton  thread holder? Well this one will, as it only measures 1.7cm in length.

I started thinking about the size of these cute little pincushions and how small I could actually make a biscornu and decided to set myself a challenge - here is the result! 

It measures 1.7cms excluding the tassels!

Mini Biscornu and Prairie Schooler ornament finish

I have just finished my first mini biscornu together with a Prairie Schooler Christmas Ornament for the Christmas Challenge blog. The pattern leaflet for the Prairie Schooler is Christmas Day leaflet number 134.

Finishing instructions can be found on my tutorials blog here

The biscornu is a freebie pattern that can be found on The Floss Box.
