good stitching day but also sad day

I decided I would work on my groups globetrotters over this weekend to get them done and sent on their way seeing as I had had them in my possession for way too long! So I got myself sorted out and sat on the sofa ready to stitch. I found a small pattern I wanted to stitch and away I went. first one got stitched and then I made a start on the 2nd and boy did that 2nd one stitch up really quickly lol.

Well I am happy to report that both globetrotters are stitched up ready to have photos taken before being packaged up and sent on to their owner.

The sad news is we have lost another of our furbabies (rabbit). she had gotten too cold outside and was just lying in her hutch doing nothing so we bought her inside to warm her up to see if she would respond. Well things weren't looking too good then she started to warm up and move around in the box but she twisted around and got stuck and broke her neck whilst lying in the box warming up, she was only nearly 3 yrs old, just have to break the news to the younger kiddies in the morning at least she now is at rest and not suffering any more

second christmas jan 21

What a day we had yesterday, Princess Sarah came for a visit to exchange our christmas gifts with each other. She arrived here at 11 am after a 2 1/2 hour journey.

We exchanged gifts as soon as she got through the front door as we were both excited to see what each other had got and yes we do sound like little children but we couldn't help ourselves.

Sarah bought me a snowman ornament that you plug into your pc and it changes colour, a Lavender Wings chart called Jingles, Chuckles, Snowball and twitch, a Me to You necklace with 2 halvesof a pendant one saying best, the other friends. Of course I shared with her. Sarah had also stitched me a beautiful snowman ornament with wind chimes hanging from the bottom which will be on show all year round I will add photos later on to my album on here.

We then took our stitching out, Pesky pair for sarah and Ivy for me and had a good few hours worth of stitching time before the kids got home from school. It was the best time I had had stitching since the new year started and I actually enjoyed stitching for the first time thirs year

3.30 we picked Gem and Chris up from school were poor sarah had her ear bent off for the next 4 1/2 hours from Gem and Chris talking almost non-stop till bedtime lol. We managed a little more stitching before Sarah had to leave to go home back to her hubby and kiddies at 9pm. We had a text message at 11.30 to say that Sarah had arrived safely back home again and thanking us for a great day.

bad stitching start to 2009

I picked up Mother and Baby yesterday thinking that while the kids are still home from school I could make loads of progress on it only to find that I had made a mistake, so I frogged and put it right, well lo and behold a little while later I find yet another mistake, so I put that right and decide to put it away for the night.

I get up this morning to find that darned frog has been visiting again so back to ripping out again. Right now it is 10.15 and all is back to normal with it again. I think what has got to me a little is that I have been working on this project on and off for over a year and I hadn't had to frog AT ALL at any part of it apart from this one part. I just hope the frog now stays away till this is finished.

Sorry for the rant, just needed to get it off my chest I think lol
