AND ....

Bees and Butterflies Scented Ornament Kit

Both of these beautiful pieces I intend to make up for the Omagh Shoe which is in July.  Last year I won first prize in the cross stitch section so I think I have to have a good go at protecting my winners title lol!!

I think I will make a few other things and enter them in the 'other crafts' section and see how I go :-)

And next week I am going to get this for James as he is about to do his A-Level in ICT
Shhhhh don't tell him as its a surprise :-)   xxxx

Well its bedtime for me as I have a crazy day tomorrow.  Ryan starts his guitar lesson but at the same time Conor is at a Karate 'convention' so he is going in one direction with his big sis whilst I take Ryan the other direction with Ryan and James minds the other ones!!  

It is all go go go here at the moment with all kinds of yummy stuff but we are very use to it as this is what life has been like of a weekend for about 18 months with just Laura, James and myself entertaining the 5 little ones and taking them here there and everywhere!! They have just as much of a full social diary as myself, Laura and James :-)  Its so good having a nice social life and having friends dropping in or me going out and being with people I adore :-)

Ok enough of me going on lol

Have fun and I will show off my new kits when I get them ... better get them made up quick as July is only around the corner ... Oh heck that means I'm only a few months off being another year older!!  Oh ok I hope July takes years to arrive lol 

Lots of love
Me xxxx

Another one bites the dust :-)

Hello all!!

How is everyone doing today?  Today it is pouring with rain but yesterday it was lovely and sunny ... so sunny in fact that Laura got most of the grass cut.  Well it seems that we have had our summer, one day better than none I suppose lol!!

I got another teacher gift finished on Monday!  5 down ... one to go!!  That's providing some of the kiddies don't decide they want some done for the teaching assistants!

I am making good progress with the Travelling pattern and hope to be ready to post off the end of next week.  I have an Open University Essay to have sent off by Tuesday so once that's done I will have many months free for stitching as that essay is the last in the course and no more until October :-)

Tomorrow all of us are going to have a group family photo taken professionally.  I cant wait!  I got the kids some lovely clothes.  Katie and Cara have got a new dress each :-) Oh they will love me forever lol!!

Have a great day :-)

Love me

Another Finish, A new start and a Travelling pattern (phew long title!!)

Hello there

Hope you are all having a good weekend.  My kiddies are with their father, who thought it was OK to turn up late!!  Yes 10 minutes is a long time for 5 kiddies who think because it's gone 2pm Daddy isn't coming :-(

They started complaining, that 10 minutes turns into tears and tantrums that could have been avoided by being on time!!!  Stress for no reason is not good or fair!  Rant over lol !!

Well Margaret Sherry Culinary Cat is finished yay yay yay!!!

Isn't he cute 

I started the next teacher stitch last night and I got it nearly half finished.  It is Musical Mouse designed by Margaret Sherry :-)

Good afternoon all,

Wow we have had a busy week and not much stitching time for me but I don't mind :-)

Last Sunday I helped out at the school with Holy Communion.  It was crazy busy but great fun.  I am glad I joined the parents Council at the school.

I have worked on one of the stitched presents for a teacher at the Primary school.  It is one of the Culinary Cats designed by Margaret Sherry :-)

I have also organised a little exchange between a few 'Old Stitching Friends' so I must get my piece done over the next week.  I love exchanges :-)

I use to do a lot of Round Robins too and they were great!

I receive Ryan Dragon kit and I ordered posh fabric from Polstitchers for it to be stitched on.  it took me an hour to choose what fabric and in the end I ordered a fabric called 'Fields of Green'.  Cannot wait to make a start on that.

Have a great day all and with luck I shall have another finish to show off very soon!

Take care

Love me xxx
