Evening all

Hugs and thoughts to all who are not feeling so good and those with family who are poorly.

Haven't been on for a few days,but you all seem to have been very busy and the updates are lovely.

I did a bit of sewing on Sunday but none yesterday or today but definitely tomorrow

Have done some knitting and crochet as i can do that in the car while out

Take care

Managed to do an hour tonight. Finding it very relaxing

Evening all

THanks for the comments about the NEC show. Not sure i can justify the £10 ticket price plus the £10 car parking if it's not really what I want. DOn't do much cardmaking now as I have no outlet for them.

I have had a sneaky peak at CSC issue 176 today. I have been picked to be on the reader panel so you get to see the projects and have to make a comment of your two favourites. Typically, there wasn't anything to wow me in this issue but I know some of you will love it.

Regards

Emma

Nice to see Soulie popping in sending virtual hugs to you and hoping you are resting up lots.

I had a computer free evening on Monday eve and while my OH was busy on his computer, I sat with my audio book and stitched :j

Was out last night so no stitching then but hope to get a bit more done today :T

Hi ladies.

Winniepooh. Bear on the moon looks cute already!
In answer to your Q. Most week days I can have stitching out and be stitching for 2-3 hours......well I say 2-3 hours but I spend probably half on hour of that time dithering over which symbol to stitch next or leaning back in my chair if my back aches or watching the birds out of the window on the feeder. I know though that my actual number of stitches doesn't reflect the time spent because I am quite fussy over each stitch, if each stitch doesn't look right it gets unpicked and restitched till it does
Also like Ruth, if I only have half an hour or so I won't get my stitching out. I have to have a solid couple of hours at least to be bothered to get it all out and 'set up'


Bobbi. Look forward to seeing a completed pic of The Ark

Louise. Glad your Nephews CT scan was clear and I hope he feels better soon, hope the baby is ok too.

Caroline. Very good, made me smile!


As for me. No stitching done here yet this week. Monday I was too worried about Pixie and yesterday was spent distracting her from the cone she has got to wear. She hated the plastic one and the vet had 1 in stock of a fabric cone. I popped out and got it and (fingers crossed) she's tolerating it 100% better. She will occasionally get it off but it goes straight back on.
She had a check up this morning and the wound is fine, looking perfectly as it should be.
She's desperate to do everthing she can't. She can't play, can't wash, can't scratch and can't go out but tries very hard to do all 4!

Poor Pixie!! They look funny with their coneheads on don't they! I remember when Boycat cut his ear - he bashed into everything he walked past - mwuhahaha!
