never expected but always appreciated…. they say everything you do will one day come back to you… and that’s not the reason we do nice things but it is nice when something comes back.

So a huge thankyou to Marina who won the LIB competition on the blog last year. She was so sincerely excited I was pleased she won and more than happy to inspire her with her free pattern. And she is stitching happily away – as shown on her blog. She has sent me some lovely jam/milk covers – did you make them Marina? she must have seen our Plum dilemma, okay, so we shall have to try jam.

also a belated thankyou to Tomi who is  long time blog friend (although blogless herself!) and stitcher’s Angel for sending me this handy chatelaine – note there are still chocolates left (only because I forgot they were in there – they wont last long now!)
