First PIF arrives at its destination :o)

I was so pleased to hear that Joke has received her part of the PIF that I took part in! I chose things that had a nice Spring feel - it won't be long before the flowers grow again, and it gets warmer! How much I HATE HATE HATE having to scrape the ice off the car in the mornings!

Both are Mill Hill finishes - the fringes on the cushion were a first for me, but were actually really easy.

Christmas ornie!

At last something that I've stitched that I can put on my blog! Thank you all for the lovely comments about Bridie - poor thing is lying on a bean bag right now, under her duvet, as she has 'flu - and missing her nativity play today too.

Here's my December ornie for the ILCS Ornie SAL - I can't believe that I've actually managed to keep up with something!

Bridie's first Irish Dancing event

Oh dear, no post for so long - I have been stitching (in between working for my exams), but most of my finishes have been for other people, so I can't post details just yet - probably they will all arrive together lol, and there will be several posts on one day!!

However, I thought I'd post some pictures and a couple of video clips of Bridie's first Irish Dancing event - it was just a small show, mostly for parents, and although it had a competitive element, every child came away with medals, so it was lovely for her. She was the youngest there, and got the most 'aaah's on the whole. Some of the older children were fantastic - and a couple of the seniors are actually going to the World Championships in the US next year! Here she is - looking rather nervous!
