Yesterday was supposed to be a stitching day spent with the other members of GWE but unfortunately I have come down with a case of tonsillitis. While I generally feel ok in myself I didn't really want to go and spread my germs around and my voice is pretty much lost. I did spend some time working on my Steam sketchbook and have an idea that I am happy with for my exhibition piece now I just have to get on and do it.
As my sketchbook is currently for my eyes only today I thought I'd share a picture of one of the sets of postcards that I stitched while on holiday.
X is for X-Ray. I have been looking forward to the letter X almost since the beginning of this alphabet swap as I knew I had the perfect fabric to use. The wonderful yellow fabric in the background is from the parcel that I recently received from Vicki. I decided to add lots of little hand stitched X's to the background, the idea was to try and symbolise all of the X-rays flying at the kitties.

Back to work today which I'm not looking forward too, fun things like stitching will take a backseat again, but thankfully I have a few more finishes from my hols to share yet so hopefully enough to keep me going for a few more posts.

So sorry you are ill - please rest aplenty and take care of yourself so you get well soon. I missed GWE, too, due to horrible traffic between London and there, so I didn't reach the area till everyone would have been going home. Oh well - roll on next month!
well I'm sorry to hear that you're not feeling well :( But I love the xray piece!
I'm sorry to hear that you are under the weather. I hope you are feeling better real soon. The X-ray kitty is so cute and I'm looking forward to seeing some of the others in this series.
x-ray kitty is so cute! I sure hope you are feeling better soon.
I hope you feel better really soon. I love this kitty x-ray. How fun!
I also had to laugh when I clicked to come here and comment. It looks like there's a pattern going on with the names of those who comment.
Sorry to hear about the tonsilitis - my youngest son suffers badly too so I know how bad it can be. Had mine removed in the 1960s as was the 'fashion' then. The X-Ray Kitty postcard is really great - in fact I love all your postcards!
Love this postcard, as did my son who was having a nose! Hope you feel better soon
I hope you feel better soon. that xray fabric (and postcard) is the best - i didnt see the mouse first time around.
I hope you are soon back to your bouncy self-tonsillistis is a wretched thing. The X Ray is very funny and original.
