I got a very nice gift in the mail today ~ a very sweet biscornu from Cindy (Random Stitching Ramblings) as a PIF gift. Cindy was so sweet to note my love of purples and stitched this in a lovely variegated purple floss! I love it and it is taking a place of honour as my very first biscornu. She noted that it was the first one she had made and I was in awe of her amazing work. I have been too chicken to attempt such a thing myself! I only wish my photography skills were better!!
I have been enjoying my very quiet house, but I can admit that its actually a little too quiet for me? The first 2-3 days were great but now its eerie and even the dogs have become too quiet for me! I keep thinking I must remember this when the kids have me ready to pull my hair out and when they come home bringing in 3-4 friends a piece, expecting all to eat. Hubby and I were so bored with each other last night that when our brother-in-law dropped by with a friend, we almost jumped all over them.
So I will be very much looking forwards to Ann's (Knowledge and Needles) annual retreat this Saturday. She is expecting 30 stitchers to be there. I missed the last 2 retreats because of illness so I am very anxious to get to this one! There are going to be several other bloggers there so look for lots of pictures after this weekend!
Sadly to say though I am officially on a Stash Diet, so other than perhaps a little fabric, I don't expect to be bringing home any new stash...... :-(

Lovely PIF for dear Cindy :)
Oh darn a stash diet...those are as bad as food diets. I DETEST them both! LOL!
Pretty biscornu, I love the purple thread ;)
Love the pretty biscournu, very thoughtful PIF gift. I'm putting myself on a stash diet as well. :(
I love your biscornu, Cindy did a great job. After all my recent purchases I think I should be on a Stash diet too! Oh well, I never was good at diets, lol! Have fun at the retreat. I'll watch for pics.
A quiet house.... sigh. What a dream!
I hope you have a wonderful time at the retreat, Wendy! It's so much fun to meet fellow stitchers (and Bloggers!)
Have a wonderful time on your stitching retreat! Stash Diet - LOL - I think every one of us stitchers feels they need to be on one of those - hope yours doesn't last too long :)
Beautiful biscornu, I've yet to try one of those as well. Whenever I say 'stash diet', it inevitably leads to 'binging'!
That's a lovely biscornu
love the PIF! nice work Cindy :)
Have a great time at the retreat! can't wait to see pictures and hear stories!
Stash diets are a pain, aren't they .. enjoy rediscovering your stash :)
A "stash diet" oh no! I have now accepted the fact I will never stitch it all so I have reinvented myself as a "stash collector" Your biscornu is lovely. I have never tackled one - maybe someday
A lovely biscornu :) Lucky You!
I hope you have fun at the retreat :) I can't wait to hear your report afterwards :)
I've been suffering quiet house syndrome too....but I am beginning to enjoy it more :)
The biscornu is lovely, and how perfect that it is in your favorite color. Have fun on your retreat, I'll look forward to seeing your pictures.

That really is a pretty biscornu! I am with you, as I am on/have been on a stash diet too. {{hugs}}, we will get through it :-)
Great PIF!
What a wonderful PIF so glad you had a nice one coming to you as the one you did my sis Su was gorgeous :))
