Well I have finally found the new way that the latest updates have made for me to download photos from the camera Grrrrrrrr !!!!!!!!!

Hopefully here is the finally finished Kiwi Bookmark

.Image


I have looked briefly at the next bookmark but have been rather unwell, firstly with a serious sinus bungup then a bad cold/flu or something so bent over a little bit of fabric is OUT. Busy knitting beanies for prem babies, quick easy and not much thinking. :) Thankfully feeling better after a few doses of antibiotics.

Thanks for looking.

Thank you for sharing, Sally. I absolutely love them. It is that case when a little project is more expressive than some large ones. Your work as always is perfect and neat. I cant help smiling when I look at them.
Happy stitching!

First time I've seen Kiwi birds stitched. They make a wonderful parade across that bookmark. :applesauce: :applesauce: :applesauce: :applesauce: :wub:

:applesauce: :applesauce: They are adorable and beautifully stitched! Make me smile too! Hope you are feeling better soon. Sinus issues are a constant here. I don't think I know anyone who doesn't have any sinus problems. Good time to work on those little beanies for the preemies.

Thank You all for your kind remarks. I am slowly improving although our fluctuating temperatures and weather are making it hard.

I hope to start the other bookmakr - an outline map of NZ to go with the Kiwi one.

"Poppy" aka Helene told me in an email yesterday that she thinks No 1 Kiwi is hungry and eating, not sure of # 2 and # 3 looks pretty determined. :D :D I think #2 is saying " move over I want some"

Now onto the other owl one and hopefully it will be quick to do as it is blocks of colour and very little confedtti. :whoop:

Thanks for looking.

Lovely bookmark, well done Sally, beautifully stitched as always.

I know the recipients are going to be delighted with them.

I'm so glad your eye has been behaving itself enough for you to stitch these.

Will you back these with felt or linen?

They're fabulous Sally. Well done indeed

What great souvenirs of NZ for your friends, Sally. You stitched them beautifully. :applesauce: :applesauce: :applesauce:
I assume the kiwi one will be for your friend and the map one for her husband.
Great to have you stitching again :whoop:
