PIF

Sorry for the delay in announcing the PIF winners, as per my previous post, I have had a very busy couple of weeks... I will be making the decision in the next day or so.

No time.....!

Well the last few weeks have flown by, and I don't seem to have had time to do anything..... hardly touched my stitching and not gonna get the Christmas stuff finished in time.......:-(

On a better note, my granddaughters are much better... they were both diagnosed with Swine Flu, then they got tonsilitis and then to top it all, they had gastro enteritis... poor little mites, they had a really bad two weeks, with one night in hospital...but not the older one, Chloe, can't wait for Santa to arrive! Lucy is too young yet to care, all she likes doing is pulling the baubles off the tree!

Chloe's Afghan is a mix of different Charts from magazines and brochures and took over 12 months to complete... you must agree it was well worth the effort.

I started this a loooonnnng time ago, but because its 18 count and my eyesight isn't as good as it used to be, I think its going to take a long time to finish! I will, eventually!

Scissor Fob

I got fed up of losing my scissors down between the cushions, and with a little inspiration from a Yahoo cross stitching group, I spent a couple of hours doing this last night... no more lost scissors!!

I needed a bit of a diversion from the block colours in Ellie's sampler, so I did this bookmark.... I think you will agree its lovely and bright.... it took about 8 hours in total over 4 nights, I just have to finish it off with backing it with a nice lilac/violet ribbon.
