December 1st

Well i have finally gotten round to adding in new photos on here.

I have put in an updated pic of Royal Holiday, pics of the kids visit to Byrkley Park and Santa and the 1st pic of the new baby bunnies

I cant believe the change in the weather, yesterday was cold and damp, then came with rain and winds yet today sees a bright sunny and warmer day. I have sat and written most of my christmas cards this morning with just a few more to make and some to post overseas which i shall get done really soon.

Today see's the Gathering of the Clans as Von has called it LOL. It is a gathering of some yahoo cross stitch groups on yahoo messenger for a chat and a giggle. This is only the 2nd time we will be doing it and I hope it won't be the last time as we had a really good time last month with a good 2 hour chat.

I am going to get Royal Holiday out again and put some more stitching in on her and then will look for an ornament to stitch for a friend.

Happy stitching everyone!

Yesterday saw us putting up our christmas tree, a nice white one this year covered in silver, blue's and pink's decorations.

What has made me laugh just was we were talking to some of the kids and Chris (youngest child) was singing christmas carols that he has learnt in the last couple of weeks when we started talking about his character that he is playing in the school christmas play in a few days time and Katie said there are 3 kings giving presents of Gold, Frankenstein and then Gem said Mercy. Talk about make us laugh

Still no stitching done this week, no presents wrapped either and certainly no more cards made! I am rapidly falling behind for christmas this year which isnt good On the good side we picked up our turkey yesterday too and I don't have too many more presents to buy thank goodness.

hope everyone else is managing to get some stitching done!

Yesterday i managed to pick up some stitching for a little while. I didnt get alot done, just some of the dark swirls on the bottom part of RH dress but its looking really good even if i do say so myself

We found out yesterday morning the one of my bunnies was expecting, she had made a nest. While i was out with hubby at the hospital for a check up on his leg she gave birth to we think about 7 or 8 babies. Now normally the babies die as she hadnt been looking after them so this time we took the father out and up to now they are still alive which is great news!

I forgot to mention in yesterdays post that i took the 2 youngest to see Santa at a garden center a few miles from where we live. We queued for nearly 2 hrs to see him but it was worth it to see their faces when they saw him for the first time. I took a few pics of santa and the animals they had there so i will upload those soon to share.

Today i am off to Hobby Craft. I have only ever been to 1 hobbycraft shop before so i am really looking forward to going, don't know what i will buy if anything but its going to be good going to a big craft shop even just to browse it for a while lol.

happy stitching everyone, stay dry too as its a wet one where we live

Where has time gone??? Its been just over 2 weeks since i last posted on here so i thought it was time to get posting again!

I havent spent much time on here recently, haven't really felt like being on line too much to be honest, that coupled with the fact that we hardly ever seem to be in since i passed my test just over 2 weeks ago which is ok but when you are a homebird and prefer staying in to going out i start to get a bit homesick.

Stitching wise i haven't done much at all which i feel quite sad about to be honest. My 2 challenge pieces for CSR group has gone by the wayside, Royal Holiday has had a bit done to her but not as much as I would have liked. Instead i have picked up my card making instead and have got some lovely cards made of which i will post pics of them and my stitching once i get the batteries charged up in my camera.

Its that time again, time to get the kids sorted for school, have breakfast and get dressed all in good time for school - roll on December 21st when the christmas holidays start is all i can say!

Have a good day everyone, cross some x's for me

November 5th

Well the weekend was good, saturday we had 3 1/2 hrs of fireworks that were pretty good, the kids enjoyed themselves and in the end i did too.

Yesterday was quiet, i had a bit of a movie day and catching up on stuff on the TV. 3 of the kids went to a friends house to watch their fireworks being set off and for some food.

Stitching wise, last week was pretty good, i did quite a bit on katie's Tinkerbell till the end of the week when my stitching tailed off somewhat. Over the weekend i did do a little but not as much as i would have liked. I worked on Royal Holiday on saturday and yesterday on Winter Rose. I will add pics later on after my driving lesson.

happy stitching everyone
