So,OK I haven't posted for a while. Better really to have something to post about - life goes on but trivia is not my line as they say.
Christmas was rough, I got flu however I managed Christmas day and two parties so I won't grumble. Our rather large family came for lunch just before Christmas and a manic time was had by all including the youngest who at 3 months was just the right age and size to be passed around doting aunts and uncles then handed back without too much of a qualm! The pics show the general melee, a trip to feed the local overfed ducks and Daisy, my son's dog, a Shitzou (sp!) who is the cutest thing ever even though I don't like dogs at all!
Craft-wise I am busy as always. I made a scrap quilt to use up some bits - and ended up buying more fat quarters because natch I didn't have enough of the right clours, and am now finishing a Grandmothers Flower Garden for a friend who's mother started it MANY years ago and is now not in a postion to work on it. Not an easy job, I had forgotten how difficult hexagons are to join to the main quilt you spend half your time turning the wretched thing about to fit them in and the fabric is mostly old furnishing cattons so stiff and a devil to get the needle through. Still, it is a challenge. And when I get bored I am going to make a small quilt for the UK Quilters 2011 challenge.
Cross stitch wise I am following a sampler from Accuiel blog which is up to part 3 with 4 due any day.
