I'm so glad Blossom is feeling better. How scary. The pillow cases are beautiful, but the stitching you did on your market bag so intrigues me. Can we see a picture of the whole bag? Do I vaguely remember seeing it once before? ~karenKaHollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02528677007819875856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-24433271261880228242010-08-21T11:30:37.236+10:002010-08-21T11:30:37.236+10:00Oh Poor Blossom!

Drink plenty of orange juice and every few hours have a hot lemsip drink with honey!<br />Your hand looks sore, poor Jenny! The bracelet is lovely, it suits you!!<br />I LOVE crocheted edge pillow cases! I have actually collected some vintage pillow cases and bought crochet yarn to suit and given them to my Mum to crochet (I can't either) when she has time.<br />I bought gold DMc and it really is terrible stuff huh? Thanks for the clue as to Butterfly thread!<br />You know the only thing better than winning the book myself is seeing it go to a lovely friend!!!! Peg is going to just LOVE it and I can't wait to see all the wondeful things she will make from it!!<br />Thanks Jenny!mandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18333704467312126616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-34080888187079602122010-08-19T12:13:59.800+10:002010-08-19T12:13:59.800+10:00sorry fogot to add the link. www.vicstitch.com.ausorry fogot to add the link. www.vicstitch.com.auJeanettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17132436602889338592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-82746597330751269532010-08-19T12:11:59.649+10:002010-08-19T12:11:59.649+10:00The threads caught my eye so i investigated.

I cross stitched a Scottish tartarn (worked it out myself) when I was first married and used a metallic red through it, DMC. It was HORRIBLE to work with and put me off using metallic thread until now. Now that I know about the metallic thread you use, I may use it again!Bechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17946899924830065258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-10936939257054429882010-08-19T07:20:29.705+10:002010-08-19T07:20:29.705+10:00That's good news about Blossom, chest problems...That's good news about Blossom, chest problems and asthma don't usually mix well together.

I have been laid up with a bad foot for 10 days now, only just hobbling about now and have stopped using the crutches; and I have missed the sewing machine, though I have been able to work on Gardeners Journal stitches so that is a little I have done.<br />Congratulations to Peg, what a beautiful looking book!Bechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17946899924830065258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-49167447377888274712010-08-18T22:22:31.029+10:002010-08-18T22:22:31.029+10:00Well done peg, hope you enjoy the book.

Thanks for sharing the link to the shop. I've been using the gold DMC thread for A Christmas Story. It's a pill to work with but the effect is lovely.<br /><br />Kathleen has a lovely blog. My mother is 73 and uses her computer but I can't imagine she would ever have a blog. I think that's amazing!<br /><br />LOVE your pretty silver bracelet and look forward to seeing DH's new toy.
