Hello Carra - and now we are 193!

So sorry I haven't been around, friends!  I did have bronchitis after Peter's birthday party, then Kylie and the two boys came and stayed for a week.  I was behind in preparing my competition entry for Miniature Haven because of the bronchitis and having been away so I've been frantically trying to finish that off.  Closing date is tonight at midnight UK time, and it is past midnight here in Aus so it is Sunday in UK but not yet closing time.  I've just sent off the photos, even though some of the items I wanted to include aren't quite finished and I didn't include them.  I had to improvise a bit but I'm happy to have been able to put in an entry anyway.

I thought I'd just check the blog since I was on the net and what a pleasant surprise to see that Carra has joined us!  Welcome Carra, I apologize for being so tardy in thanking you for becoming a Follower.  I do hope you will enjoy your visits here and leave lots of feedback.  It is just lovely to hear from others and to receive comments.  My husband gets that glazed look or gives a 'hmm that's nice'.  We share most things and I would love to be able to share my interest with him, but at least I have my miniaturist friends all over the world.

I couldn't find a link for you Carra, if you have a blog please let me know - I'd really like to visit you too.

And Carra makes 193 - only 7 more to go for the 200 Followers giveaway!  Things have really slowed down, but I started to stitch a petitpoint carpet in 1:12th scale (for the giveaway) while I was unwell.  Didn't get very far with it but now will concentrate on it and post a photo soon.  Now just have to decide on the 1:48th scale item/s.  I know some people wanted flowers, so it might be those again unless there are other suggestions.

And now it is 1am here in Aus, and time for one weary possum to toddle off to bed!  Hoo-roo, will talk to you soon.  And yes, when the competition is over I will share photos with you too.
