Sunny Days.

 Sunny days , have been such a wonderful change   from all the rain . 

Makes you feel so good , after all the bad news on TV.

So I have been outside allot in the garden . But I have managed to do a little stitching .

I  have started a new Easter stitch and started on the new kit I brought a few weeks ago , I will show soon. And I also found a nice frame for the rabbit stitch.

Also lots of Easter cards have been stitched , and I have been sorting out my threads putting each one into  into a little bag  with all the same numbers in a larger bag , so I can see if it falls to only one thread then  I can reorder. Then they go in a plastic box of each of their numbers . It's took allot of sorting , but it is now really easy for me to find each thread , it's been allot of work but now I am very happy and it works for me .

Today is Mothers day here in the UK and my lovely daughter sent beautiful flowers to me .

                                                 So Happy Mothers day to all.

 

 

                                                     I thought these were so beautiful .

 Here Is the little frame I found last week my stitching sits well in this one.

I have also been reading , my friend let me have this book when I was away last year the little boy looks just like my youngest grandson when he was little now he is way past 6ft .

The sun is out and my hubby is painting the fence so I think he needs some coffee .

I will be back soon with more stitching .

I will leave you with a few more garden flowers , have a good week,

 

  

 

We had Sunshine.

 Hello all just want to thank you for your lovely emails for Lynda.

She was such a caring person and will be so missed by all.

💖🌹💗

So another new week and it's been sunny and beautiful.

I did do a little tidy up outside . Flowers now popping out every where.

Yesterday I saw some baby lambs jumping around in  the fields , Spring is here . 

We could not  stop because the roads were so busy .

Well I have been watching the TV news and it's all going on . I am so glad we have our stitching to take our minds off things , not much good news anywhere . I just want a simple life .Maybe it will get better soon now Spring is coming.

I have finished a Christmas stitch I found in an old Magazine. and  I though it was a little different .

Once I find out who the design was by I will tell you , I have put the chart somewhere and I can't find it 

I did keep records in a book but can't find that , You watch I will find it after .

Every thing seems upside down , I have so much finishing to do , but no free time . My puzzle is still on the table It's getting there but again not much time. 

So I will leave you with some photos , have a great week and I will be back soon.

 

 

Some sad news.

 Hello all .

I had some sad news this week that our bogger friend Lynda passed away a couple of weeks ago, her husband emailed me , to let me know of the sad loss . He has now taken her blog down .

She was a lovely friend so sweet and kind , and will be  sadly missed.

                                                              God bless  our sweet friend .

 

Almost March .

 Hello all , March is almost here I am so happy , Spring is almost knocking on our doors .

It's been a very long damp winter and cold with it  , today we are lucky the sun is out and it feels so bright it hurts the eyes , we have been in the dark  far to long . we did not get much snow this year but just so much rain.

The days were also very short and nights very long. I feel so much better in the sunny days. it's been a busy few weeks though , always far so much to do . 

Any free time I have been stitching a little more  and  working on my puzzle , but it is so hard to do , I will keep going I won't give up .

So today I will show you a little tray cloth I am stitching with some cute month girls and boys by Lesley Teare.                                  

 

                          I think they are so cute , and below another one  coming to life 

  

                   Also  started another banket , when I can't see to stitch 

Ok I have been so naughty  , I saw this new kit and just had to buy it , you can see why I gave in , I just fell in love with the design .

              So now I will leave you with what flowers that want to come out  and  bloom and say hello .

                                  I really hope you are getting some sunshine .

                            I need to finish a pile of stitching soon when I have more sunshine ,

                            I have been doing allot of sorting and have found lots of old aida and materials .

                                     Need to use everything up before I carry on spending .

                                                               Well I need to try !  

                             It's our Anniversary next week , getting near to a very big  one.                                                                                                 

Valentines Day.

 Hello friends , Happy Valentines Day to all.

I have enjoyed this week but it really passed by far to quick , some days do  go so quick  , but last week two days seemed to go slow and it was lovely  why ! I can't get my head around that.  Well today is  dull and raining Like most days.

But I have been happy sorting out my larger stitching , which I will start next month in rotation. Some I have been stitching on for years , they are like old friends , yes I am one of these people  who loves working on far to many , but it gives me joy to see them again. I am strange because I just love stitching on them, they are my old friends .  Hoping we will get some sunny days in March so I can see what I am stitching .

At the moment I can only stitch at night  , then I use my stand up light . 

It's been a very busy week here so I have been helping Hubby  also manning the phone when he is out .

I have also started kitting out some designs and using up lots of old bits of Aida and all old materials , they are great for cards and small stitching , I have about 5 bags now left over from larger stitching I hate to waste them .

I did manage to stitch more Birthday and Easter cards  will show at a later date .

But I did manage to stitch a lovely design from Dany called Spring .

 

                                                         I used a oddment of  fabric  from one of my bags.

                                                              I put just a couple of Valentine bits out .

   

                                                  Our cards to each other .

                      Hubby could not find any Red Roses , never mind the yellow are wonderful.

The other day there was such a noise  I thought this Air Ambulance was landing on our roof .

it landed in our local park .

So I will leave you all with some garden plants .

Spring is not that far away .

A sunny day at last .

Hello  all,  hope you are getting a few rays of sunshine .

We are now getting a little more sunshine , our garden can not take any more rain .

I have a free day today so thought I better come and put a blog on .

Every time I started to think about it , in this crazy life something happens .

So I am back stitching again , I have  already stitched a few Easter cards , but can't show you yet but I also stitched a couple of Birthday cards that I can .

I have started a new puzzle which may take me a year to do , it's big and allot of funny shapes. it might take me for ever. 

I have also been sorting , and that's not good , I get in more of a mess when I sort , I have so many kits and  charts and I want to stitch them now , but there is also 3 big boxes of UFOs .

I must get some kind of system going , or I will be stitching in my next life , ! 

                                              First up two cards I stitched for blogging friends birthdays .

                                                       This week hubby brought me Yellow roses .

                                                           These are just beautiful .

New Puzzle boy it's so hard  

                                 I also found a few flowers in the garden .

                                         Flowers out for February .

 

   

More stitching next week , I need to get more photos taken .

 Good morning all.  Hope you all had a good week .

We had some sunshine at last , but looks like it will get colder again soon.

I don't like the dull days , you can't see to do anything .

I did manage  to finish the puzzle ,worked on all my stitching lots of Easter and Birthday cards stitched , a few more then on to my larger stitching , when we get better daytime light.

I have been sorting to and have bag fulls of goodies to give out to our local stitching and knitting group . 

They make some beautiful goodies and the money goes to a life boats on our coast.

It's good for me and for them .

Bulbs are starting to break through the soil . So that's something to look forward to.

Hubby brought me my first daffodils of the year this week they are very pale yellow but so pretty.

 I am starting to feel much better at last , this chest infection was a nasty one. 

Sorry I did not finish this post .

I could not come on before due to our nasty weather .

Lots of Lightning and thunder around with buckets of rain there are puddles in the garden .

So I will have to be very quick , before more bad weather.

 

This was my stick 6  but I was late with my chest infection.

Spring is in the air by Bitter designs . not sure yet how I will finish it yet , so it will go on my growing pile ! .I have a few extras to add on it to.

I forgot to show you my puzzle .

 We have many cottages like this one where we live . they are  so pretty .

 

 

Hubby brought me lots of flowers , so I won't get the winter blues.

 

In the garden it is so wet but we have a few Spring flowers popping out if the weather gets better I will take photos.

Have a good week I will catch up when these storms move on .
