A great day and another inspired stitching friend

Pirjo at the blog Pike stitching again! had a giveaway for having 5000 readers at her blog and I was the closest to the 5000 so I got a surprise. It arrived today and boy it is great! There was some chocolates, Janlynn's Celestial Santa ornament kit with frame and all, two great charts with sheep (I think she has been spying at my blog ;)), the cutest little knitted sock and lovely stitched pillow. I forgot to take a picture of the backing fabric, it has sheep too! :) You can see it at her blog here. This was a great surprise. I had a nice day at work and after coming home this was waiting for me so a perfect day don't you think? :)


My advent calendar has also inspired Elli to stitch this lovely design. Click the picture to see it better at her blog Sisiliskokset. I like the fabric she used, it brings out the colours very well.
