2nd Week of the Easter Holidays

So it has been busy here again...well kind of. We had a very sad day Sunday when we found our rabbit Flopsy had been stolen by foxes. I was deeply upset and have these horrible visions of him being taken away by them. It is weird when I go into the garden and he isn't there. 

Monday was a pj day we where very lazy ! I did however make this felt mouse, I was quite proud of myself as I have never made any-thing like this before

Tuesday I had a mass Spring clean jiggled things around a bit and got rid of lots of bits. Lots of bits and pieces went into the charity shop. I also posted a couple of my pen pals some crafty bits I thought that they would be able to make good use of.

Today we have not done too much, took the last of the bits to the charity shop and went for a little walk. 

On the stitching side I have started on one of the cross stitch kits that I won on ebay .I have not got many stitches done at the moment but here it is

 I have also started on a little card which will be very cute once completed. I will post a picture once it is finished. 

 I have gone and got myself a iphone and have added dropbox and good reader onto it. So now I don't have to print HAED charts I can just use them to stitch by. I'm not sure if I am going to get to grips with it like that and not paper copies. I will start a new project as soon as I have got a few of the WIP's completed. I am planning on my next start to be Asian Fantasy 3 which looks like this

Well thats all my news for now, I will leave you will a lovely picture of my 2 boys (big and small) messing around in some trees.

Easter holidays so far .......

Well so far the Easter holidays have been very busy (although we are having a lazy day today). I have started a new facebook page where I am selling craft supplies imaginatively called https://www.facebook.com/ClaresCraftSupplies  so I have been busy taking photo's and uploading them to my page. My son has loved it as he got to claim lots of lovely papers and stickers which he has loved making with. My daughter went to her dad's on Sunday and will be back home again on Thursday so I have been busy looking after her lovely pet rat. 

My husband also went away for Easter with the climbing club that he belongs to so it has just been me and my son, which has been rather lovely as we have been able to get on and do what we want to ! We went to the cinema yesterday with my mum, sister and nephew to watch The Croods, it is a fab film and I recommend going to see it. My mum and I even shed a tear !!! 

Now on the stitching side I received the UFO's from the lady one is a winnie the pooh afghan. The lady had started on it but hadn't put too many stitches in. Me being silly couldn't work out where she had started so pulled it out and started again. Here is what I have done so far 

I have never worked on an afghan before but am finding it a really nice way to stitch. The afghan material is so soft it is a real pleasure to work with. 

Well thats all my news for now x x
