I’m happy to say that I got some stitching done on my Summer Sampler today. Not a lot, mind you, but better than nothing!

I got this from Gina in the mail today – it’s called The Freedom Drummer Boy and it’s by Bent Creek. Isn’t he a cutie?

Tomorrow we are going to Bamberg.  It’s one of our favourite towns in Bavaria and for me it is one of the most beautiful towns in Germany altogether.  I’ll be sure to take some pics to share. 

Speaking of pics – are my pics too big? Do they take long to load? I’m (very) new to blogging and am worried that readers find the page slow. Please let me know what you think.

No stitching on the Summer Sampler today… – again! I am SO definately going to remedy that tomorrow, promise. Got the exchanges wrapped up & mailed them off and I hope the recipients like their goodies. 

For Hilly H. in the Fridge Magnet Exchange – her kitchen theme is lobsters, crabs, prawns, etc:

For Karen W. in the Bookmark Exchange – she didn’t specify what designs she preferred but her favourite colour is pink:

And here they are all dressed up and ready to go:

Now I suppose you ask yourself: what is the point of showing wrapped parcels when you have already shown a pic of what’s inside… Well, I have a confession to make – I love tissue paper and have several colours/designs that I use for wrapping in exchanges so I’m really just showing off!!

Till tomorrow!
