Here I am unexpectedly on this day which I believe is thursday! Shouldn't have been here, should have been on the M6 (motorway that is) Ha!! don't bank on it. Due to a sudden and catastrophic failure with my car the disruptive circumstances of this week have themselves been disrupted. There has been no collecting of Swedish nieces and no delivering of said Swedish nieces to Grandmas house. Instead there has been embroidery, good yes but not really ideal when you let your family down and even if it's unavoidable and no ones fault it still leaves a little nagging of the beating yourself up kind. So cushion number three found itself in receipt of unexpected attention and is now finished, only two left to go.
Then number four became the focus and here is progress so far, yes, white again. You sick of it yet??? I'm not, sick of it that is. This house will never tire of white, never...
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you who live across that great big piece of water too!!

Thank you for the Thanksgiving greetings. We have turkey in the oven, cranberry sauce and all the other trimmings ready. Now all we need is the influx of numerous family members in a few hours. ;)
I always enjoy seeing your beautiful embroidery.
Hugs,
Lois
Despite all the turmoil you made us some very, I mean VERY beautiful cushions. I hereby make you the queen of White!!!!
Have a lovely day despite everything.
I don't think we'll ever tire of white either. Too bad about the car and picking up the niece. If it had been me, I think I would be a worry wort and fret the whole time. I don't think I'd be stitching - I'd probably be cleaning. Something physical.
At least the embroidery has benefited from the disruption!
Love, love, love the cushion!
Hope you get the car sorted soon, they can be a right pain!

I think number four is my favorite so far. I'm not sure why... I just said "Ah" when I saw it.
I hope you have a wonderful day! I have one eye out the window gauging the weather and wondering if the drive will be okay today. We got a bit of snow and may get a bit more this morning, but the problem is the solid sheets of ice underneath. It'll be a slippery slope to drive on!
Big HuGGs!

How annoying, but you made the most of a bad situation. I'm hoping for lots of snow tonight so I don't have to take the boys out tomorrow, lol.
There is never enough white, each one is different and these cushions give so much to enjoy
I like cushion nr 3! My kind of thing.

At least you can console yourself with the fact that your day wasn't a total loss. Sorry about your sick car though.
Your pillows are so beautiful! I never never get too much of your white stitching! I love it!
Isn't it funny, though, that out of chaos and disruption came such beautiful white work!
delightful, delicious and yam! Sorry to hear about your car.
Been catching up.
