Oh no ...

Hello All,

I'm home alone ... with just my stitching to do!!  :-)

Oh my goodness I'm just going to be sooooo bored lol!!

Anyone else stitching today?

What are you stitching?

I'm going to crack on with Cara's Summer Fairy.  I need to order threads for Conors Karate Dog as i need to do him with a Yellow belt before he goes in for his next grading!

I was subbing the anchor threads for DMC but I cant remember what shades I used last time so I'll just order the correct Anchor threads and keep them just for the karate Dog!

I will post a photo of the Summer Fairy progress tomorrow :-)

Have a great day all

xxxxxxx

The winner is ...

The Travelling Pattern will be travelling to you ....

Catch up, new L*K chart and a Weekend SAL

Hello fellow bloggers,

Today we have had Rain rain and more rain which is just typical because James was doing school bus stop pick ups today and he ha to walk to the kiddies school bus stop as he cant drive (not yet ... less than a months time he can start taking lessons eeeek!!!)  

James did the kiddies pick up because I had to take Cara to the Dr's as he is a little under the weather and not eating a thing!!  She is a fussy little girl anyway but when she wont even eat chocolate I know there is a big 'something' bugging her!!

Looks like she has an ear and throat infection plus her tummy is a little hard as she is all 'bunged up' inside (I'm sure you know what I mean) So the DR has given her something to de-bung her (lol and eee yack when the time comes!!) plus an antibiotic.  She should be as right as rain in a few days time.

The kids are at their fathers this weekend so I will be stitching away a usual from the minute they leave until the minute they come home... sooooo Does anyone fancy stitching along with me?  It would be lovely to have your company :-)

I plan on getting a good chunk of Cara's Summer Fairy done.

At the moment I am stitching another Lizzie*Kate design called 'Wear a Smile'  I will post a photo in the morning.  Nice and quick to do during the day whilst chatting and seeing to Cara :-)

I bought 2 new charts the other day. 

This one is fab!

I am thinking of getting a frame that holds 4 photos
then I can have the stitching in one photo space and
a picture each of the girls in the other spaces.

OR ... have one photo taken of the 3 girls together!!  

Anyone Know if Lizzie*Kate does a 'sons' chart? ... don't want the boys feeling left out :-0

The needle he holds is an actual
cross stitch needle.  Brilliant! 

Once I have stitched them I might pass them on as Travelling patterns.  The Wizard one is an A4 size chart so it might be a little big and end up battered after a few times in the post but he is adorable!!

Well that's all for now.  I had better get to bed!

Bye for now

Love me

P.S Don't forget about the Travelling pattern as I will be choosing a name on Friday

Are you interested? ... Travelling Pattern

Hi All,

As promised here is the posting for the 'Stitching Forever' Chart being offered as a Travelling pattern.

Chart needing a journey to another stitchers home!!

What this means is:-

You must be serious about stitching this design and then passing the chart on to the next interested stitcher... YOU have to pass the chart on, you cannot keep the chart but you do keep your own stitching.  

You must be prepared to post the chart anywhere in the world.  If you are not prepared to post on then please do not show your interest.

You must be able to stitch this chart within a reasonable period of time... say no longer than 2 weeks.

There is no point asking to be nominated to have the chart posted to you if you have no time to stitch it up.

You will need a blog to be able to show off your finished stitching and then do a post (similar to this one) to offer the chart on.  

I would like each stitcher who receives the chart to let me know where it is just so I can keep track of the chart.  i have paid for this chart so I would like it to go on its travels around the world for as long and as far as possible.  

If you are interested in stitching this pattern and have a blog please leave a comment on this post.

If you are NOT interested then please do not comment.  

I am new to this so please let me know if I have missed anything off.  I want us all to enjoy this chart.

If people who are interested prefer I do a list as to who gets the chart then I will.  I don't mind.

Or we can see how far the chart travels!!

I'm excited I can say that much!!

Please leave a comment if you are interest and a person will be chosen at random on Friday 8th March and I will post the chart asap :-)

Finished!!!!

Hello All!

I finished Stitching Forever By Lizzie*Kate this evening.  The chart took me 2 stitching sessions over last Sunday and tonight :-)

I also finished my Easter Exchange for the Margaret Sherry SAL Blog so that's 2 finishes this week.  I am delighted!!

Stitching Forever by Lizzie*Kate

I carried on with a Tatty Teddy design I started ages ago.  Its for Laura and Johnny as an Engagement present .... many months after the fact ... oops!!!

Bye for now and be good!!

Love me
