Sowing machines

I FUCKING HATE THEM!!!!




That is all i have to say on this matter!

A small update on "strength"

A little while ago i lost the chart for strength and after hunting for days and days, i realised i had a hard copy on my external hardrive! so instead of halting progress for what seemed like ages i could of printed out a new one and stitched on! i made a bit of progress on the dragon i'm going to finish the dragon then work my way to the rest of the black and then fill in the bulk of the green then the other shades. i have also been considering putting a poem on the reverse about strength, or a Terry Pratchett quote,i just cant decide what! so if you have any ideas feel free to leave me a comment.

Camping

Were back from camping. it was alot of fun. campfires, watching the kids play football, watching the "adults" build a tree swing "for the kids!" There was only a little bit of stitching, mainly on the way there. There was too much fun to be had to sit and concentrate. The pic is a stock pic, as im  keeping the way i have finished it as a surprise till xmas.

Hello.
I have made another start on "Black rose" as it was the easiest to find.Ive made a bit of progress and think i will be concentrating on this one till i finish the page. Shouldnt take too long.

P.S; Sorry for the crappy pic

I stitched!

Hello Fellow Stitchers.

I have stitched! Not alot but a little. I have no pics for you at the moment, as they are on my hard-drive at the moment, due to a re-install. I should be able to post them tommrow.

This week me and Connor went uptown in the search for childrens cross stitch. We found a few but nothing amazing. The only place i could find them was in Wilkosons, not even the two needlework shops up there had them. They had tapersty style ones but not cross stitch. I was quite dissapionted. We also brought a "Sow your own hat kit" which is made of foam, I think it could be fun to do.

It’s been over two weeks and I still haven’t picked up any stitching. I WILL tommmow!!! I feel like I’m wasting my nights by having nothing to show for it. During the day I have been keeping busy with Connor mainly doing arty things. We have made a paper mache pig. It’s been so much fun. Slow progress but fun. Hopefully tomorrow we will be able to start painting it! It’s been nice to have something I can sit down and do with my son. It makes the painful days pass quicker.  So here is Mr Piggy. Connor named him, not bad for a 3 yr old. I wanted to call him pizza or chicken head but Connor wasn’t having any of it!

We also did some hand painting in the garden. Which somehow turned into a paint fight! Soon there was paint everywhere. All over the garden all round the house. I stood there in the middle of it all and thought I really shouldn’t have worn my brand new white shorts!

We gave the shed a make over



Areas of the house was covered



 Its has been sooooooo much fun!
