I'm still here

So much has been going on, DH has had an accident at work and been off since 5th November, one of my boys has Crohns and has been in hospital again he is home now hopefully will be back at school on Monday but has to go to the dentist on the Wednesday to have two teeth out ready for a brace in January. I thought they might put it off as he has been ill but his consultant said it could still go ahead. He also has to see the consultant in January about having another colonoscopy, this will be his third and he is still only 12. Even Charle the dog did not want to be left out so when she had her routine check up on the 30th November the bloods came back as a problem with her liver. Luckily after more blood tests (and £146.00) they said she was OK.

I did finish an ornament.

I did start another ornament and hoefully if things stay a bit quiet I may finish stitching it also I just have to add some cording around another one I may be able to do that today if I'm lucky. so I may have something else to show you tomorrow.

Girl's Night Out

Well I did not get to finish Just Nan's Girl's Night Out. I don't know what it is about this but I just cannot get into it. I have finished loads of Just Nan samplers and loved stitching everyone of then but this..............I just cannot stitch on for more then a few minutes at a time. I will keep plodding on stitching a little bit now and then but I fear it may end up being put away until next year.

Christmas is looming and all the snowmen charts I have are calling me.........I wonder which one will shout the loudest. LOL

What a month!!!

Well not much stitching done again this month. We have all been sick with the flu, Jack came home with it and within two days we all had it. We are all over it now thankfully. I have finished a Halloween tuck from SanMan Originals and I am trying to finish Just Nan's Girl's Night Out from her Red Hat Stitcher series. I don't know why but this Just Nan one is taking ages I cannot seem to get into it.

Here is the Halloween tuck it is called Bat in the Hat and is from the charts for sale in the SanMan Originals members newsletter.

I promise I will post more and if I do not finish the Girl's Night Out by the weekend I will let you see what I have stitched.

Ladybug Tuck

Where does the time go? With the boys back at school I should have loads of time for stitching. I have stitched most days even if it is just for a few minutes, mostly on presents so cannot show you yet. I did finish a Sanman tuck, here it is.....

I must get a few more Halloween stitching done, I still have loads more that the boys would like me to stitch for Halloween but I don't think I will get them all done. There will be a new Sanman newsletter soon and I'm sure there will be more on there they would like stitched.

Spring Spot

No internet yesterday BT playing up so fingers crossed it will stay on now. The boys are finally back to school so hopefully I will be able to stitch a bit more and blog a bit more. I did finish the Spring Spot by Drawn Thread, that is two of the spots stitched and two left to go.

Here it is I still need to do the drawn thread bit around the edge but I am waiting until I have stitched all four and decided how I am going to finish them.

I am going to stitch Sandy's Ladybug tuck next as we had so many ladybirds this year.

Spider Eyes

Well not much time this holiday for stitching. I have finished another Halloween tuck and almost finished Drawn Threads Spring Spot.

This is another of Sandy's (Sanman Originals) very cute Halloween tucks called Spider Eyes.

Only a few more stitches to go in the Spring Spot so hopefully I will be posting a picture of it in a day or two.

Tombstone

Another of the SanMan Originals Halloween Tucks. These are so quick to stitch and as I have the tucks they actually get finished and not put in my very large pile of stitched but not finished items.

I have almost finished another one called Spider Eyes so will add that in a day or two.

Not sure what to stitch after that but maybe one of the Drawn Thread 'Seasonal Spots' or maybe another tuck.
