Just for a change I've been sick ...

... and I haven't put needle and thread to cloth in over a week.  Now I had a flu shot this year supposedly to stop it but it didn't work and wasn't worth the sore arm that's for sure.  Plus I haven't been to Weight-watchers for the past 2 Wednesday but hopefully being ill will have a plus side and I'll have lost HUGE amounts of weight.  Okay anything over 2lbs will be a HUGE bonus.  AND to make matters worse as well as the flu I have had tonsillitis even though I had them out on my sixth birthday.  Well guess that didn't work too well either as one of them has grown fully back!!!


On the upside I sent two exchanges out on time and both have been received so I can share them with you and tomorrow I will, hopefully, be stitching again if I can stay awake.


TADA for the exchanges:


This is the front of the Christmas Ornament
I made and sent to Pilar in Spain
And this is the back of it 
(once again all photos are clickable)

This is the Quaker XXI Exchange
via the Legacy Board that I sent
to Mayte

I really enjoyed stitching both of them and hope they are enjoyed as much as I enjoyed stitching them. 


So until next time ... 
Lots of Love Patti xxx

Hope you're feeling much better. My sister had her tonsils removed at a young age too. When she was in college she was told they had grown back.
