Hi everyone, we returned from the Paris stitching show, L’aiguille en fete, on Saturday evening, it was -8 in Paris and I was very relieved to get home to my nice warm house, we had a lovely time!
In this post I will show my recent cross stitch work in progress, my cross stitch stash from Paris and show you my latest giveaway for Valentines day and give details of how to enter.
I started to stitch this Home Sweet Home cross stitch of mine whilst I was on the train to Paris, I just love the colours in this and it is a very easy pattern too! I am stitching the cross stitch design on 18 count aida fabric with DMC stranded cotton threads.
Here is a close up of the design.
Next up is the stash I bought at the show, 2 patterns, a bobbin, handmade pins and little wooden extras, I am looking forward to playing around with these.
I love these pins – yummy!!!!!
It was quite busy but we got there just half an hour after the doors opened, we got around pretty quickly before the crowds appeared!

I appreciate all of your comments and welcome to all of my new followers……
Happy stitching!
Best Wishes and Happy Stitching.

Hi Lynn, I just started following your blog and find it wonderful. I'm a 26 yr old stay at home mom of two great little boys and LOVE cross stitching. I'm currently working on Stockings for all my familiy members. Your pillow is adorable but mostly I just love that I've found a community of other cross stitchers. Thanks for sharing!
Love this!

What gorgeous stash you came home with. I love the two patterns you bought and all the other little bits and bobs.
Your latest WIP is very pretty.
Would love to enter the draw please. The wrapping is almost as gorgeous as the gift itself.

Lucky you going to the show in Paris! I can't believe that you only bought those few buts, going on, 'fess up, you bought more and are just hiding it, right?
Absolutely love the litte pillow.

Lynn, I am a follower, adorable pillow.
Oh wow I have been lusting after that pillow since you showed it too us!
I was thinking of making my own, but as I have never cross stitched I had resigned myself to not owning one!
So I would LOVE to be entered into the giveaway for it!
And your stash of goodies is amazing! I love the wooden after tea – what do you use it for?
Oh and I would love to be able to make a 'Home Sweet Home' picture – it would be very nostalgic for me! May I ask where you found the pattern?

Happy Valentine's day…and you also went to Paris, city of love, so lovely. And thanks for the giveaway and a chance to win. Am a follower.
I love the giveaway. I love Paris but you must be with the right person, and then well the sy's the limit… you know what I mean!!!
I love your cross stitch and have been reading your blog for a bit now–and thought I had joined the following list–but didn't find me==so did it just now!!
I love the little pillow, but I also love the peacock abc's great piece-
Hugs, and smiles, DI
très belles photos ! beaux achats !

Love the colour combo on your WIP. It's very pretty!
You've made some great additions to your stash. The pins are so cute!
Please enter my name into the giveaway. Your pillow is just soooo sweet!
I wanted to say grats on the new stash and other things. The pins are really cute, and I love the colors in your WIP, the green and pink especially. Please don't enter me in your giveaway though. Not that I wouldn't love to have it, but there's no place to display it that Yes Dear wouldn't think it's a toy and she would shred it with efficiency. Happy belated Valentine's Day to you though!!
You do beautiful needlework! You are so lucky to have been to Paris … and buy needlework supplies there, too. I think they have the most wonderful kits there. Thank you for the giveaway.
Always love to read your blog, do not always comment though. Love the Paris Market and when you go and you share. The patterns you purchased are wonderful – love them.
Love the little pillow and the how it is wrapped – very nice.
Love all your shopping. I'm sure you had a fabulous time.
Would love to win the little pillow. lyn.robyn.smith@gmail.com
So adorable, really want to take up cross stitching! Nothing better than a handmade gift x
I'm jealous! The cross stitch show looks fabulous and so does your lovely new stash.
I do like your pins and it made my day looking at your blogg. Thanks for your giveaway and please count me in.
Love to you

I'd love to be in with a chance of winning your giveaway, you work always looks so good. I ahve just finsihed my first ever crossstitch piece well not including the small packets you can buy.

I love the 2 patterns you bought, they are gorgeous. Please include me in your giveaway.

I love this little pillow. I have just stitched the design for the Needlecraft Haven monthly freebie so would love to have a matching pillow!
The Paris show looks great.
