I have some exciting news, I have been published in The World Of Cross Stitching Magazine for the first time, I was so excited when my monthly magazine dropped through the letterbox! I have known for quite a few months but I wanted to keep it secret until I was published. I am quite shy at showing my photograph but the magazine preferred me to publish a photo of me, so for the first time you all get to know what I look like, lol!!!!!
They have shown photos of some of my recent creations and they very kindly published my blog addresses.
Here is the front cover
and here is the article I contributed to:
The Do's and Dont's of cross stitch.
That's me on the right!
My sister nearly fainted when she saw a photo of me in the magazine, she thought I would not be able to keep it to myself, but this proved I could! lol I did not tell my Mother or my sister as I wanted to surprise them!
Another exciting gift arrived in the post, it was Lee's giveaway, and oh my did this take my breath away, Lee is one very talented lady, thankyou Lee I love it, and I am sure everyone who see's the photo's will too!
These will be treasured always.

A cute pin cushion
I attached a swarovski crystal bead
and a sweet 'made with love' tag on the reverse
I am also planning another giveaway which will be posted within a few days of announcing the winner of this one, so there is still another chance to be a winner soon!
Thankyou for your comments and happy stitching!
