Afternoon all!
How are you on the bright, sunny cold day?!!
I have a few hours before the kiddies are back from their long weekend with their father! There is a big pot of Beef Stew and Dumplings in the slow cooker and my house smells good enough to eat lol
I have not done as much stitching as I thought I would because I decided whilst the kiddies were not here I would get a good spring clean done on the house! I'm pooped now lol! Carpets hovered, cleaned and then hoovered again. All the bedding washed and dried and beds made again. Everywhere scrubbed and tidy now. It made sense since all toys etc were away whilst the kiddies not here so that made everything so much better and easier.
I went shopping yesterday and got the girls some gorgeous clothes and the boys some tops and trousers. The boys are really hard to guess the sizes with clothes so I normally take them with me! The girls are easy ... would think it would be the other way around lol Mind you its much cheaper not taking Katie clothes shopping as she is a real girlie girl and would be coming home with mountains of stuff lol
So when I did manage to sit myself down and stitch rather than clean I did some on my HAED Fireside Fairytales which I have not touched for way too long! I have been doing this one for years and really haven't got anywhere with it. To be honest I'm getting bored with the browns and blacks in it. Its so dark and 'boring' (oooo dare I say that?!!) I'm loving the stitching but just not the shades. I am wondering if I choose something else but then me being me would feel too guilty lol!!

Have a good day all.
Lots of lovely stitching wishes sent your way
