I Have Been RAK'd

Post by Squirrel »

The day I got home from hospital there was a package for me and I did look at it and wondered what on earth else I had bought from 123stitch.
However I put it aside whilst I 'caught my breath and tried to reorganise my mind to being home'.

Later on when I opened it out flowed these lovely cards each with a different motif, each nice and small plus a gorgeous bright little card.
It was from Dear Mabel, she had seen these cards at a recent sales table and thought I would enjoy having something small to work on. Little did she know at the time that something small is about my limit at present and that I had been wondering where I had stowed my "smalls".

Bless you dear Mabel for obeying the prompting to get these for me, they are just right to get me back into stitching - hopefully later this week.

This is Mabel's lovely card, beautifully stitched and bright and cheerful.

Here is the pack of wonderful designs. One side shows the finished design the other side the charts with the DMC numbers around the edges.

Now it is a case of which one will I do first, I already have about 4 in mind for future birthdays.
You are such a blessing Mabel and thank you so much. I appreciate this gift more than I can say and it will be so useful in the months ahead. :whoop: :whoop: :whoop:
