Holiday, New Baby and Sewing

Hello everyone!

I really need to get into the swing of blogging more often again!

My mum came over for a short break, so we went to Portrush for a few days.  We visited Giants Causeway on the north Coast.  Also had a wonder around a few towns.  it was a lovely relaxing few days.  Mum enjoyed herself, so that's the main thing really! It rained most days, nearly all day too!!









I have a new Grandaughter πŸ˜€πŸΌπŸ‘ΆπŸΌ.  Her name is Lexi.  She is totally gorgeous πŸ’˜πŸ’–πŸ’˜

Baby Lexi & Big sis Abby

Over the past few weeks, I have been busy sewing for a Beatrix Potter exchange over on Instagram. 
My page is heathermakes_sewing If you use Instagram, it would be lovely to 'see' you on there






I cannot give too much away!!  

Other than kiddies being off (chaos!!) and mum being over and a baby being born, life has been dull and boring hahaha!!  

So much going on, that its been brilliant!!

have fun, be good and safe.  until next time ...
Hugs Heather

Cross Stitch and a Craft Fare

Good evening to you all!

I hope everyone is well.  Last weekend I did a stall at a craft fare.  

Part of the 'deal' of getting a table at the fare was that I had to do a sewing demonstration.  

Well how could I resist sitting outside in the sunshine sewing 😁  It was a brilliant experience ever!!

I have spent this week organising the house ready for a busy summer and then spending time cross stitching on a Round robin!  brilliant to be cross stitching again!



I must make a habit of getting back to the good ol' cross stitch! I have missed it πŸ˜‡

Take care!  I'll be back soon!

Cross stitching ~ My Round Robin

Hello there!

After completing the 20 gowns, I am now Cross Stitching again ... yay!!

I have a bit more to stitch plus tack the boxes on so others know where to stitch their part then its ready to post! I will put name etc on when it returns to me!

I haven't taken part in a Round Robin in years!! Really looking forward to it 😊

Life's a Stitch
Yes it certainly is!!

I will post a photo when it's done ❤

My plan is to do alot more cross stitching as I think I've worn myself out with all the machine sewing!!

Bye for now
Heather
