Its amazing how many wonderful friends I have made through my blog. One lady in particular lives in Canada, even though she doesn't have her own blog she took the time to e-mail me one day and tell me how much she enjoyed reading my blog and looking at the projects I make. Well since then, we have become really good friends.

It was Joni's birthday just recently and I wanted to make her something really special so I came up with this cushion, the stitchery is a
Leanne Beasley design and I decided to make it into the cushion, it was so much fun to do as you all know how much I LoVE doing stitchery.

We decided to make each other an ornament for christmas and this is the one I made. Its a Marg Lowe pattern. I love making these.
I'm so pleased Joni liked the gifts I made her. I think I left her feeling slightly gob smacked didn't I Joni.
Enjoy.
Today I plan on doing a bit more christmas stitching, its raining so I have the perfect excuse. Thats what I'm telling myself anyway.
I hope you all have a great weekend and gets lots of sewing done.
