another finish

This is another one of Carla's lovely kaleidescope snowflakes, this is number 3 and like number 2 is just a beautiful one to stitch up.

This is stitched on self dyed pick evenweave with DMC 3810 and SSS thread Concords which looks just great together.

I have my contest piece to do for Carla's group which I will work on tomorrow then next week when I can buy the rest of the kaleidescope flakes I will start another one of those.

We have survived the first week of school, though not without incident lol. Jamie just can't help himself in injuring himself in some way or other. He fell last night about 18 inces and twisted his ankle yet again, it swelled so we got him to R.I.C.E it and gave some painkillers, by this morning he was back to normal. I swear that child doesn't want to go school with all the injury's he has had recently.

I'm off now to take Sheba for a walk then I can get back to stitching again, not sure on what right now I am thinking of another snowy start of a SanMan Originals chart I have.

I am so gutted

Today I fancied stitching on Royal Holiday so went to look her out and I can't find her. I have hunted high and low for her and she is no where to be seen, its put me right off stitching.

I did find my Celtic Winter out and tried to stitch on her but thats not working either. I do have an old chart kitted up of a San Man Originals that I might try and stitch instead.

The kids have gone back to school today and the house is wayyyyyyyyyyyy too empty. I thought i would love having the house back to ourselves but in actual fact I hate it right now hark at me blathering on feeling sorry for myself, I will pick myself up by my bootatraps and find something to occupy myself till the kids come home from school.

end of the summer holidays

Today sees the last day of the summer holidays for the kids, its been a lovely day with warm sun which is set to last for the next few days which is just typical now the kids are going back to school. The last 7 weeks have flown by, though at the begining the 7th September seemed so far away! The seasons are changing though, you can smell it in the night air as silly as it sounds.

I havent stitched properly in a couple of days I have put in a few stitches on a bookmark but thats about it. Hopefully I can get some done tomorrow once the kids are in school

another finish

Today I have finished my ornament that I have been stitching for Sue V on her group Every Stitch Counts. I can't show a photo yet as its not being sent till November 1st unless I send it earlier.

I am now going to start a snowflake design that Carla Rizzie has designed for her group Crazystitchers designs callked Kaleidescope Snowflake 2. I will add in a photo of that once it has been completed.
