Stitching Forever

Once I've made my Easter Exchange into something I will finish this.

Really looking forward to finishing this chart and then waving it off on its travels.

Later on the kids are getting their hair cut as they have their school photo on Thursday :-)  Cool!
Another brilliant photo for my wall ... I am running out of walls haha

Have a great day

Love me xxxxx

Hows the stitching going?

Hello all,

How is everyone doing?  Lots of stitching happening I hope :-)

Nothing like a good ol' stitch on a cold dark evening!  It is trying to snow here :-O

The kids went to their fathers a few hours ago and I plonked my bum on the sofa and stitched away on my Easter Exchange for Margaret Sherry Blog.  Nearly done.  Just to make into something and I'm ready to post it off asap!!

I've made a coffee and now I'm about to have a good stitch on my Travelling pattern until bedtime.  In the morning I will do some on Cara's Summer Fairy ...well that's the plan anyway lol

Have a wonderful evening

lots of love

xxxxxxxx

What a load of Pooh!!

Good Evening all xxx

lol ... My pooh Bear Bookmark that is!!  He is a cutie :-)

What a cutie to

Keep my page safe :-)

I am really looking forward to having a SAL with all that wishes and can stitch along with us at the weekend.

I have made fab progress on my Easter Exchange for the Margaret Sherry SAL Blog and will be ready to post after the weekend.  I am a little behind on this with kids being ill then giving me their germs ... nice children lol

As for the Travelling Pattern .... well I really could not help but have a little stitch on it this afternoon!!  I had to laugh though because I didn't have my stitching lamp on because I don't need it on during the day but Cara told me off for not using it lol!!  Just hope she doesn't start trying to organise my stash hahahaha!  

I hope you can stitch along for a little while somewhere between Friday and Sunday evening.

have fun and keep safe

Love me xxx

Weekend SAL anyone plus travelling pattern

Good Evening all!

Hope you are all well!  Its the last day of mid-term tomorrow and I spent today very unwell!!
Think the kids have given me their germs as a thank you for looking after them lol

Laura, James, Ryan and Conor are out at Youth Club at the moment so I pinched the laptop hahaha!

The little kiddies are with their father this weekend so...

does anyone fancy having a stitch along with me over the weekend?

I will be doing

1) Finishing off MS Easter Exchange Piece if I haven't already manged to do it by Saturday
2) Start on my Travelling pattern
3) Summer Fairy

I will start off my Travelling pattern in the next week or so .... really exciting!
Will post when I'm finished and we will see who gets it next :-)

I finished my Pooh Bear Bookmark so will post a photo asap :-)

Have a great evening

Love me xxxxx

Travelling Chart Advice

Hello all

How are you all?  Not a lot of news from here!  The kiddies are on mid term break until Thursday.  Tthis evening I submitted my essay to the Open University for my Psychology course! Phew glad that's out of the way so I can do something serious like stitching lol!

Anyway the main reason for my post is  see what the rules are for starting off a Travelling pattern.

Plus rules for sending it around.

l know each person stitches and passes the chart onto next chosen stitcher.

I would love to start one off but not sure if I'd be stepping on anyone's toes so to speak!!

Grateful for advice

Love me

This is the chart I was thinking of

using for travelling pattern

With Love and Kisses xxxxx

Happy Valentines Day

I hope you all have a brilliant days with lots of love and kisses from your loved one, family, kiddies or your friends .... or maybe all of them!!

Having a brilliant day here! :-)


With lots of love to my on line lovely friends on such a special day :-)

XXXXXXXX

Look what I'm doing plus ... exciting post today!!

Evening all!

First of all thank you all so very much for your get well wishes for the kiddies and myself.  Fingers crossed we are germ free BUT Mark fell yesterday in school and hurt his foot lol  

It never rains but it pours!!  He seems OK today.  Its not swollen or in pain.  I think he is just scared of walking to far or much in case he falls over again!  he crashed into someone else in the playground at lunch time!!  

Well I think what i am doing is a great idea lol

You know I love to read and stitch well I am a reader that has no stitched bookmark!!

Now that should be a criminal offence lol!!  

I have used a scrappy piece of paper and have done for a while so I thought ...

"Stitch yourself a bookmark woman"

I started the other evening but didn't get much done with Cara not being well.  I sat for a short while this evening and did some more.

A bookmark for me!

I hope to finish it tomorrow and then Mr Pooh Bear can sit in my new book and guard the pages lol

New book with half a stitched bookmark

They look well together!!

Mind you Katie spotted me stitching Pooh Bear and guess what she said?  Oh I bet you cant guess lol

"Mummy can I have a Pooh Bear Bookmark for my school reading books please"  Now how could I refuse such a lovely request!!

Today in the post I got all the details on Josephine, the little girl we are sponsoring   Now have an address to send her some letters and small gifts if we which too.  The kiddies are going to draw her some pictures.  I'll stitch her a little something for a keepsake.  The kiddies suggested a rag doll or teddy for her which I think is a great idea.

It is also her Birthday in May and she will be 5 years old so we are thinking of a little something that we can send.  Large gifts aren't allowed to be sent but trying to think of something small that will get all the way over to Zambia in one piece is tricky!  The things we take for granted really do make the simple everyday objects hard to think of!!  

I also received my Winter Exchange in the post today and i am over the moon with it and thats all Im allowed to say .... for now!!

Well Im off to refesh myself with a chapter of my OU course book then get my essay finished off :-)

Nighty Night all

Take care and keep safe

Love me

xxxxx
