Hello....

So today I have been trying to sort out my crafty goodies (once again) they had a bit of a jiggle around but didn't really get very far. However I did put all my cross stitched and papercrafted cards in the card stand I brought a while back. 

 What do you think of them ?

In my last post I told you I had started a new cross stitch for a lady from the facebook group UFO swaps https://www.facebook.com/groups/530157013678381/ . Well below is what it should look like when it is finished.

This was my progress after a couple of days work

Then a few more days

This is where I am now.

It is slowly taking shape, I will post more progress pictures in my next post. I have learnt a new technique called railroading. Which is when you pass the needle in between your threads and it helps to keep the stitches neater. It really does keep the stitches more uniform but is taking me longer to stitch at the moment. However I am sure I will get faster with this technique with a little more practice.

Well that's all my news for now. Leave me a comment if you fancy x x 

Its been too long again !

I remember my mum always saying that the older you got the faster time went and I used to think she was talking such nonsense. But I am now in that stage where I know exactly what she means....I can't believe how fast time is going by (in the blink of an eye).

Well its the summer holidays here at the moment and we have enjoyed a lovely week in Cornwall. Here are some of my fav pics from holiday

I have also started on my christmas cross stitching

and have a new range of papercrafted cards on my facebook page littlemisscrossstitch. They are called 'Tea Party'

I have taken on a new UFO from a lovely lady called Claire. I will be posting pics as soon as I have got some-thing decent to show. Below is a piece that I am currently working on at the moment, which I am going to get framed and sell on my facebook page. Any guesses to what it is going to be ?

 Lastly here are some more pics of summer holiday fun. There was a sci-fi 'thing' going on at The Forum in Norwich and we just had to go. My son is a big doctor who fan and had a lovely time, but he was a little worried about the weeping angel and wouldn't actually go near her !

 Oh and here is a pic of my boy doing some holiday stretching...he does make me laugh !

 Well I shan't be leaving it so long until next time (hopefully) x
