Patra's Other Place

I started out with Patra's Place, primarily dedicated to my linen collection and stitching projects. But I kept getting side-tracked, so I decided to create Patra's Other Place for anything not related to embroidery topics. So you now have a choice. If you are interested in me, read this. If you only want to see my linen and stitching, visit Patra's (original) Place! (Please note that by clicking on any of the photos, they will be enlarged to fill your computer screen.)

I was married to Ken for 43 years, but he died in October 2022. So I am now alone with two cats, eight hens, and a few finches and parrots in one aviary.

Last week I attended the monthly meeting of the Swap Card collectors club I belong to. As well as displaying my card table cloths, I decided to go and hunt for some more peacock cards. (They are on Patra's Embroidered Peacocks Blog). As well as those, I found six with a stitching theme which are posted on Patra's Place. But I am including these two here, as they don't relate to either of those Blogs, and they are sure to strike a chord for some of the readers here who share my love of all things relating to 'afternoon tea'!

Goodness, that eye procedure doesn't sound like a lot of fun. I think flinching would have been the least of what I'd have been doing. Heading out of the door, more like. Still, I'm glad it's all over, and was successful.

One lump or two?

When I was just a wee young thing... I collected swap cards with puppy dogs and horseys on them. They were all the rage at school. I would dearly love to see some more please. Much love, Nicole xox.
