My DH and I are going to Europe next month, Germany and Ireland. I will get to visit with my DF, Karin, and her family. I can't wait, that will be the highlight of our trip :-). When we get home it will be time to get ready for the holidays, my parents are coming here for Christmas. We usually to go there, so I am looking forward to pampering them.
I got the prettiest exchanges in the mail. For the SBEBB Autumn House exchange I received this pinkeep from Nicki. I love it, it's so tiny and delicate. Thank you so much Nicki. Funnily enough I sent to her :-). There is a picture of the piece I made on her blog. I took a picture before I mailed it but I had a little camera snafu and accidently deleted it.
I also received a gorgeous needleroll from Judith as a part of the SBEBB Grateful Heart exchange. Its so pretty and finished beautifully. Thank you again Judith! I sent to Tuula, there a picture of the cube-it on her blog, same camera issue.
My current WIP is BBD Their Song. I just love their designs. I think I would like to stitch Willow House next. I don't think the pictures do it justice. Carol posted a picture of her framed piece it's stunning. I can't stop thinking about it :-).
I hope everyone has a nice weekend planned. Tomorrow we are going out with a group of friends to Vines Wine Bar for dinner, music and a nice glass of wine ;-). Sunday we will probably just go to church and then watch football all afternoon. For us a perfect weekend! Thank you so much for taking the time to read my blog!

Lovely stitching and exchange pieces. Enjoy your European trip, going to Ireland is so close to my side of the UK, we could wave almost to each other!

Hi Katrina, what lovely exchange pieces!! Now after reading your post, it's making me want to pull out some prairie schooler and BBD charts. (I have the Willow House chart waiting in the 'soon' folder too lol) Hope you and DH have a wonderful trip next month. Take Care
Glad to see you posting again Katrina. What a cute exchange for autumn - love that PS pattern. I have a wonderful piece of fabric for Their Song but no time yet to start it. Will be watching yours!
You've received lovely exchanges! The cube for Tuula is so beautiful too, I think I'll see it IRL in November when we (stitchers from this area) visit Tuula :) Have a wonderful trip to Europe!!
