10 working days till next [STRIKE]holiday[/STRIKE] stitching break!

I agree with all - apart from kids part - don't have any.

I just had a holiday but feeling really unmotivated to go back to work - hubby is back at his tonight. I know we are lucky that we both have jobs - even tho hubby does his only for the money. I am back at work tomorrow.

Thank you so much dora for sorting the threads for us all in the big quilt. I am so looking forward to starting it - make a change from all that confetti stitching I am doing with golden earth.

So if anyone finds more time send some to me. Really need more hours have to sort out stuff - we have a kitten coming soon.

Love to all

This is the house in the magazine, but there are 6 pages of different window options to go with it, so you can mix and match to suit your family members. There are kids, parents, grandparents, dogs, cats, a goldfish and even a window with a cobweb lol







Good luck with the Mr Men!!:T:j

Hey Everyone!

Sorry it's been so long, have been moving house and it's finally over! Was a bit of a nightmare trying to get stuff into storage and sorting out the old place but it's all over with now... YAY!

Congrats as always to all of your fabulous progress.

Unfortunately I have not had time to do any stitching for the last couple of weeks, however some progress was made on Snata the week before the move so I'll post a piccie in the next day or so.

I'm not sure how I'm going to get on with my May challenge as I'm not sure if I'll be able to afford that wedding kit. If I can't I'll update the challenge to make significant progress with Santa or something lol

Hope you are all well in any case, will try not to let it go so long before I post again!

Hi guys

Not much stitching for me today, a load of paperwork for the open university arrived this morning and I have about 100 pages of forms to fill out! Annoying thing is, some of the questions are so hard you need a degree just to get on the course!

Im nearly finished my angel now but after this I have to stitch some presents for my dad cos its his birthday on the 21st. Then I will be doing the alphabet square before returning to the treble clef I was donated from on here.

Anyway here are the photos of the way the angel currently stands



Top half



and this is supposed to be a close up of the beading but you cant see it stand out very well. I still have loads of beading left to do aswell! Glad I started doing it in small sections as I went along as leaving it all to the end would have done my head in.

Just quickly popping on, not got much stitching done atall the past few days But I am planning on doing more after tomorrow!

Sorry to go away from the stitching subject at the moment but I have an appointment at the breast clinic tomorrow afternoon to have my lump looked at and I was wondering if anyone has had to go there before and could tell me what to expect on my first visit please?

Bubbles That is so lovely, ive never worked with beads before you've made such a lovely job of it
