My eyes are so tired tonight, so I quit early. I did spend a bit of time today starting a gift, and did manage to do most of the stitching on it. But once I started 18th Century Band Sampler, my eyes were giving me troubles. I managed to still get a bit done on it.I heard that Veronica received her birthday gift from me today - she received it early. Her birthday is the 1st of February, but I posted it to her last weekend. I didn't know how long it would take to get to the UK - as luck would have it, it didn't take long at all. I used a freebie from Passione Ricamo for her fob, and am showing you the back of the fob too... I added a "V" for Veronica on the back using the beautiful alphabet that came with the freebie...
And, here is the back - I added a fancy heart charm at the base of the ribbon to compliment the hearts on the front of the fob:
Stitched on today: Started a gift, and 18th Century Band Sampler by Long Dog Samplers

OMG, Veronica's birthday is the first??!! Oh nuts! I totally blanked on this - I feel awful!
The gift you made her is beautiful. LOVE that red!
What a pretty fob! I love the colour you chose too!
Yet another beautiful fob - you're a stitching machine! :) Your latest WIP is looking good :D
Your fob to Veronica (Mum) is so GORGEOUS IRL so neat it looks printed and the colour is mouth watering and I can tell you she absolutely LOVES it and walked straight to mine to show me it :-)) You made her day!!
Great progress on your WIP as well, I am still amazed how you do all these big projects :-)
Enjoy your weekend and I hope Angus is doing OK for you and him!
Another lovely gift, Carol. Veronica must be thrilled!
Love the LDS, it's really gorgeous. The fob is really sweet too.
You definitely take the crown for Fob Queen, Carol! This one is just as stunning. Long Dog Sampler is looking so nice too.
The LDS looks amazing! the colors are so pretty.
WOW, I think you've outdone yourself on this latest fob, Carol. It is the cat's meow! :)
The Sampler is looking so pretty. I normally do not get into samplers, but this one is so pretty that it is tempting me. The fob is lovely too, I'm sure she'll enjoy using it.

Very pretty. I love your fobs ideas a lot. Your forest big piece is coming along very nice, the colors are just great.
I love the band sampler and the fob - it's gorgeous!
What a lovely fob! Thanks for the reminder about Veronica's bd too.
BEEutiful fob, Carol :)
Gorgeous fob Carol!
What a lovely little fob, congrats on the finish. Make sure you have good light and magnification when things start getting to small. Your eyes are worth it.
Another gorgeous fob, Carol!!! I love the heart pattern; is that freebie still available?
Everytime I see progress on your Long Dog mystery sampler, I think I need to kit that project up and start immediately. Those colors are so lovely!
The fob you made mum for her birthday is gorgeous, she rang me up from Helens when she had received it - its lovely.
Congratulations, it's very beautiful! Ann.
