Sweet PIF gift from Sally!

Thanks for stopping by my blog even though I haven't been posting anything about cross stitch recently... And I really appreciate for your warm and kind Get Well Wishes, so much.

Yesterday when I was going out, I found a puffy envelope in the mail box, and I guessed if it's from
Sally as she noticed me that she sent the PIF gift to me a while ago!
And Bingo! I saw her name on the envelope, I couldn't resist to open it even though I had to go out!! So just before I go, I opened it at the entrance and Oh... Sally did make my day indeed!!
Just look at this Sweet sweet present that she made for me... I was so touched!

This is my first SB work, I love SB's designs, but I haven't been having no chance to stitch them until now somehow... (I have some kits, though!)
She red my blog and found that I like sheep designs and also SB, so she told me that she thought this is the right design for my PIF gift!!

She added linen laces around the edge and also added white roses on four corners!
Isn't this just so sweet?!

And there is a word about friendship, the design is "Friendship Lamb" by Shephered's Bush.
It touched my heart... Thank you, Sally!
Her stitching and finishing is awesome, just perfect!!

And here is a photo of backing fabric she choose for this design, isn't it perfect match?
I like everything Sally!!
I forgot to take photos, though she also added a postcard of Swan Island and her message card was sheep design! :)

By the way, I have so many photos in my PC, actually in the memory stick (is it said USB memory?).
A few days ago, the alert has appeared on the screen to say it's full, so I bought new one.
This time I bought this lovely pink stick, it looks like lip stick, isn't it?!
So now I can keep my photos (most of them are sweetie's photos!) till they will be 4 GB in the stick.

By the way, thank you so much everyone for purchasing many of charts from my "Sale and Trade" blog!
I really appreciate for you all. I also should downsize so many my craft materials as my husband found them and nagged me when we had argument last night (lol), whew...
So when I settled down at my mum's home, I will open the "Sale and Trade" blog again, and next time I'm thinking to sell some materials, too.
Anyways, your ordered items are already sent yesterday!
Now they are on their way, so please wait for a while...

I'm stitching only few lines each day and little by little when I feel OK.
My this year's resolution is to make and send present for my friends' Birthday in time, so I want to stitch and finish it, if I could.
Resolution is just a resolution and
Carol R. told me that resolutions are made to be broken!
So I shouldn't be so serious, though! :)

Hope I feel better soon and be able to share some stitching post!
Take care and Happy Stitching!

What a beautiful gift, I love the finishing and the back fabric!

This week I heard someone say "instead of resolutions I use the word intentions". Much better word I think!

That sheep from Sally is very lovely!

And you are very welcome for the award! Yes, I have been to Japan and I enjoyed the trip very much. It is still my favorite vacation we have taken (even more than London and Paris, but I was very sick in Paris!) We went on many tours with the JTB, and they were all wonderful; the JTB took such good care of us and made sure someone was always with us. This was very good, because neither I nor my husband speak any Japanese at all! I can say "good morning" and "thank you" and "excuse me" (sumimasen) and a few other things, but that is it!!

It was fun to order food in the restaurants by pointing at the pictures! The best meal was at "Ninja" in Tokyo!! They were so good to us, though we did not speak Japanese, but the servers were very kind and our meal was wonderful!

Hi Yuko ! That's Arcadia ! I've had a bunch of computer troubles, and closed my old blog, but I keep thinking of you. It's the first time I can come back to your blog since I started to have email/web troubles, so I'm really happy to read you again, and very sad you are so ill. I hope you will find out soon what's wrong, and that it's not too serious. Hugs++++
Your mother's knits are wonderful, and I loved looking at all the pics you posted since I last came loooooong time ago
Take care, and have a lot of rest
