Just Nan Biscornu

Marie sent me this stunning
Just Nan Exchange

Just Nan biscornu, and a really cool beaded scissor fob and some Australian threads which I forgot to put in the photo. I love it Marie, thank you so much. And I'll appreciate it all the more knowing you worked on it while you couldn't do much of anything else! Hugs. Oh, by the way, it really was worth the wait.

My lovely exchange from YoYo

Here's my beautiful Just Nan tape cover and goodies from YoYo with apologies for not putting up a picture before. Thank you again, YoYo!

Just Nan Pic

Here is the pic of my Just Nan from Gillie, as promised. Don't tell anyone I've snuck onto the computer while DH is getting dinner lol. I think this design is called Sparkling Iris?? Is that right Gillie?

Just Nan Exchange

I have received my Just Nan from Gillie - thank you so much Gillie - I feel so totally spoiled!!! Will try and get a pic done tonight.

I have returned to work (but no the belly is still not right) so am up at 5.30 and in bed before 9 atm :-( Hopefully things will settle when I get to know the run better. All I can say is thank goodness for Yoyo!!!

A quick welcome to new members as well

From The Home of the Totally Useless Stitcher....

Hi everybody,

.....To paraphrase YoYo and her Totally Useless SAL! I finally finished my Just Nan piece and it's on its way with a few tiny treats by way of apology. I knew I was going to be late and had permission but not this late! I do have exciting news from here, though - my husband has a job after six months of being without one. The only thing is that it's in Michigan and his company want us to move NOW! We have spent the whole of July sorting and cleaning, working some of the time, arranging for a realtor, a painter, landscapers to tidy our somewhat overgrown garden, all with the help of my sister and husband who, most unwisely, arrived for a holiday with us! We couldn't have done it without them! Anyway, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it! Apologies to my dear exchange partner! Onto the LHN piece now!

Just Nan Seems to be Lost

Edit's Just Nan that I mailed on June 29th seems to be lost out there somewhere.
I keep hoping it will arrive but as each day goes by it seems doubtful.

Exchange from YoYo

YoYo, thank you so much for my parcel - see the lovely things I got, including my first tape measure cover done in lovely purples and pinks along with some lilac fabric and some gorgeous threads.

I am stitching away like mad but have been thrown by migraines recently and I was late starting. I have a new physical therapist who is working me to death but it seems to be working, no headaches since Monday, fingers crossed!

Exchange Received

I got this really nice package from EDIT. She used the Butterfly Heart and made it into a needlebook. She also sent floss, the colors are in the stitching, magnet from Budapest, her home town. and a nice post card. A very nice exchange. Thank you

What mail?

I went out to the ballpark with DH for the first time in months this evening...and good thing I did too!
AAARRRGGGHHH !!

I had given him my package to mail on Monday and guess who forgot the post office in his list of errands and left my package sitting on the backseat of his car. I am terribly sorry partner, but I will personally take it to the post office first thing in the morning. Mine is not going too far so it won't be too awful late, but I do apologize anyway. Here is an actual picture of it just so you won't get too over anxious. Of course, I do have some really nice 'photo manipulation' software (LOL).

Just Nan Sent

Just Nan is on it's way to it's new home. I hope it arrives safely and soon.

I hope that my partner will like it. It was such a fun stitch.

My first Just Nan.

Exchange Sent

I mailed my exchange today. Almost didn't make it as had some family things come up. But, it is on the way. Where is it going you ask? That is a secret. Shhhhhhh.

This morning I have sent my Just Nan exchange. Hope it will arrive soon, although it has a long way to go. Until then, keep watching your mailbox :)

Stitching Exchanging - Just Nan exchange

Just Nan Partners

I just e-mailed out the Just Nan Partners list, let me know if you did not receive your e-mail. Two people are known to be sending a little late, if you are one there is a note in your e-mail and your partner already knows about it. If anyone else thinks they will be late in mailing please contact me.

Edit, yours should be mailed on time, but I forgot completely about mailing time for overseas, so please allow a little extra time for it to arrive. I'm so sorry, that just completely slipped my mind.

Please keep your partner and your piece a secret. It's up to recipient's to reveal their exchange when received.

Somebody asked me about "extras". As far as I know, we haven't discussed extras much. My personal feeling is they are "extra". It is totally up to you whether you include anything other than the stitched exchange item. Some people will and some people won't. Please do not "expect" others to have your financial advantages.

My last message from Marie was good, yipee. She said she was feeling better. I hope she is improving every day. Big hugs to you Marie. Come back soon, but there is absolutely no hurry, your health is the most important thing.


Don't forget to sign up for the "In the Style of Littlehouse Needleworks" Exchange. Send an e-mail to me (yoyo_9203 at yahoo dot com), please put LHN Exchange in the subject line. Sign up ends July 10th.
