They are here

Todays post revealed the 2 books that I have been eagerly awaiting.
Lynda and Carol's Stitching the Textured Surface and Maggies Greys Stitches,Straps and Layers.
As usual Maggies book is great but I am truly amazed at what Lynda and Carol have achieved in their first book.
The quality of the samples in the book and the photos are outstanding and they are both to be congratulated on a top effort.
Now if anything is going to get my creativeness back this book sure is the answer.





On another note I would like to thank everyone for their comments and e-mails regarding my sleep problems.
I am pleased to say that I am improving in leaps and bounds.
Last night I slept for 9 hours except for a small break when the smoke alarm outside our bedroom door started beeping intermittently because the battery was going flat.
I climbed out of bed- got the step ladder and removed the offender and then went back to bed again and back to sleep.
Oh joyous sleep.

So glad you are sleeping better - it makes such a difference to daily life doesn't it? Aren't those books fantastic? I love them both and keep going through them unable to decide what to try first!

Snap with the smoke alarm battery, 5 am on Sunday morning ours started to beep. Why does it always do it in the middle of the night????

Sounds to me like you could do with a holiday, in Perth!!
Seriously, it is important to try to get back to regular sleep patterns, I'm glad you're feeling better.
I read your post this morning about getting the books and thought mine should arrive today, and they did. I also ordered Julie Caprara's book and Maggie's embellish and stitch so it was a super duper parcel.
Will blog it all on the weekend, I'm trying to tame our 1 acre jungle this week.
Cheers
Jo
