Hello, so as you can probably tell from the title I always struggle with blog post titles. I mean I have had a total blank this evening...actually most of the time I do with the title. Of course its quite easy if I am writing about a specific thing but most of the time I am just yabbering away about all kind of non-sense !!
So this one of my favourite makes from 2015 so I thought I'd share it with you. I was having a look in my different albums which I have saved on dropbox and found this photo. I loved stitching this for my son...I found the pattern for this adventure time cross stitch on good old pintrest. It still has pride of place on his bookshelf. I actually found I had another one of this frames hiding amongst my craft stuff so I may make him another one.
I really wanted to get this grumpy owl by Annya Kai and charted by heaven and earth design finished in 2015. I was doing really well with it and seemed to be making good progress. However I got to that part on a large project where you seem to be putting loads of stitches in but looks like you've done nothing. So I got frustrated with it and have put it away. I have done more on it since this photo was taken but I didn't want to get it out again just to take a up to date photo (yes I was being lazy).
However in February I am going on a heaven and earth designs stitching weekend which I am really looking forward to ! My mum is coming with me...she doesn't actually cross stitch but she knits so she will be knitting the weekend away. So I am going to take my three heaven and earth design projects with me that I currently have on the go, which is obviously grumpy owl, the other two are glimpse of a unicorn and olde world map.
On a completely different note I bought myself a fitbit zip and this week I am having a week of normal activity to see what my daily steps etc is like. I then aim to increase them and I have also started to run again. I have also been trying to be good and even said no to cake at work today !!!
Well that's it for now x x
