In Japan we clean the whole house at the end of the year, but this year I didn't do anything...
I was just mentally and physically tired (is this just excuse?? lol), I haven't been able to stitch much nowadays.
By the way, I heard that the Elisa has received the PIF gift safely, so I can share some photos what I made for her.
I was quite not sure what her tastes are, but light blue flashed into my mind when I thought about Elisa, so I bought a bit antique blue basket and stitched an angel in blue.
And I trimmed the basket lid and the stitched piece with shinny light blue gathered lace.
The back of the lid is also covered the same fabric that I used for the front.
I red that Elisa liked this and some goodies that I sent her, so I now feel relieved!!3 PIFs done and 3 more PIFs to go!
I should tidy up my stitching stuffs soon, and have to try to concentrate on making 3 more PIF gifts!!
I decided to visit my PIL on the new years day with my husband and son, but I asked my husband not to stay there long time... otherwise I will get sick, mentally!!I should visit shrine near by to buy a talisman before I visit them!!
Please fingers crossed for me!
And have a Happy new year, everyone!!
Thanks for visiting, and let's talk soon in 2009!

Yuko, that PIF is absolutely beautiful! I agree that you should get a Talisman of some sort. Maybe must having something will make you smile on the inside and hopefully you won't have to stay long! Chin up! :)

You've created a really lovely PIF for Elisa. The little angel in blue is very pretty. I love these baskets and have my little pink one out where i can see it all the time :>)
