Quick Update

Hello all, just a little update.
Been in the mood to get going on Plum Street Samplers ' Beloved '.

Here's where i was.


And now.


And started a 'Tatty Bear' Birth Sampler for Noah.


And out walking the other day met this fella. Don't know who was more scared him or me.


But a few shoo's and waving arms later he was on his merry way.

Noah's off to water babies tomorrow with his mum.
 Hopefully he will do better this time has last week he was the only one screaming the place down.

Tomorrow i'm off on my hols.
 Going on a cruise for the first time. We are going to Norway and Iceland.
Yep, that place that's having earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
Must of known we were coming.  ; )

Well that's it from me.
Thanks for stopping by and looking.

New Stash And A Couple Of Pic's

Hello all, 
Its been just over a month since my last post and it has flown by.
Thank You all so much for your lovely comments and best wishes.
Noah is now at home and doing great.
He's now nearly 5.5lb and feeding like a good'en.  : )

Not hardly stitched at all but now getting back into the swing of things now that everything is settling down and no more running backwards and forwards to the hospital.

While no stitching was being done i did treat myself to some goodies.


Then i got my act together and finally made a little something with the Eiffel Tower that i made for DD a couple of years ago. I'm a great one for sewing things and then putting them away to get framed and then leaving them, thinking i will give it a go at framing them myself.

Wanted to finish it off with some Navy ribbon to make a little hanger but has usual everything but that colour.
Just has well DD liked it just the way it was.  : )


And lastly some pic's of Noah.

We still have the crib we had for his dad and Auntie.
It has a skirt that goes round the outside put is more trouble than its worth, always falling down.  ; )



The Teddy is nearly bigger then Noah.


He has a nice set of wheels.

He sleeps in this better than in the crib. Maybe because it tips up slightly like the incubator he was in.


He looks huge, but believe me he's still tiny.

Anyway that's all from me.
Thanks for stopping by and looking.

Hermit Weekend

Hello folks, hope you are all keeping well.

Had a nice surprise. 
Sister-in-law and her daughter flew over for the Paddy weekend. We had a great time catching up and other stuff.  : )
 Its times like these that i wish i knew they were coming and would have got stuck in with Miracles sooner and she might have been able to take it home with her.  ; )

But i have kept my promise to myself to keep going with Miracles and try and get it finished for her Birthday.  ; )

So for the Hermit Weekend i finished off the left panel.


It was only when finishing the panel that i could make out what it was i was sewing, has the colours were all just a blend of blues and the photo of it on the kit i could only make out the house.

And for being good finishing off the above i started the final part of Nathalie's sal.
It's so nice to be using colourful threads after so many blues.


Love the out line of the flower on the side of the house.

I'm going to finish off the house then its back to Miracles.  : (

To see how everyone got on with their Hermit Weekend check out  Joyce's Blog

Well that's all from me folks,
Thanks for stopping by and looking.

Part 4 Finished

Hello all, thank you for all your nice comments. : )
Funny how some of us from all different parts of the world enjoy not just cross stitch but the same kind of books. Kate Moreton seems to be very popular.  : )

On the stitching front for the Hermit Weekend i finished off part 4 of Nathalie's Sal



Now back to finishing off part 1 of Maryse's Sal
Part 3 came out at the weekend.

DD was home for a short time while looking for a new home. Now her and Lady are on the move. When we lost Jake i said no more dogs were coming  in the house, so my sister-in-law got me this metal dog. Has you can see Lady was never to sure of it.



Lady all snug in Jakes old bed. She loves it.



That's all from  me now.
Thanks for stopping by and looking.

My Little Heart Finish

Hello all, hope you are all well and keeping warm and dry where ever you are.
Like everyone else i am now longing for warmer weather. 
This pass week we have had a mini hurricane, rain, rain and more rain and some snow in between.
Even Rosie and Mollie didn't want to come out of their shed.



And at the weekend i found some books to keep me quiet. ; )


I have all of Kate Morton's books and really enjoyed her first book 'The Forgotten Garden'. Not a fan of Richard Madeley but his book looks like a good read.

On the sewing front i made a little something with a freebie called 'My Little Heart'.


The bottom corner of the red part looks a bit wobbly in the photo, but thankfully don't look like that.

That's all from me for now.

Thanks for stopping by and looking.
