The
Friendly Stitchers forum recently had a Stitcher's Day Exchange and I received my stitching exchange from
Mouse on Saturday. She sent me this beautiful ornament, fabric, ribbon and scissors. I've attached my latest scissor fob to these pink polka dot scissors as they go so well together.

In return I sent Mouse this hanging ornament which has a pocket on the back to hold needles and/or scissors as well as two skeins of thread and a packet of Bohin needles. I like this
free design from Glory Bee.

I'm expecting slow progress on this next section of Alpine Seasons Garden. It is solid cross stitch with a lot of thread changes. I only managed to stitch most of the bottom right hand corner over the weekend.

The sun is out, so if I go and finish the housework now, I might get some time to sit outside and read this afternoon.
What a lovely idea for an exchange, nice goodies you both made.
