Busy weekend .

 Hello all,

I was so looking forward to a rest this weekend , but no we have been out and about all weekend.

Also the football season starts which we both love to watch .

My daughter was off for a week , so we took her out to lunch , and to buy her a birthday gift for her on coming Birthday .

She wanted a fish tank ! I can see why , they had some beautiful ones when they are set out look  so beautiful .

So the purse is now empty , we brought her every thing . the extras were more than the tank .

She also had some beautiful little fish the colours were amazing .

I think she will have many happy hours watching these fish .

We had a tank once  and would spend many an hour watching them .

One night I stayed up all night , one of the fish was having babies so I was having to put them a little side net so the bigger fish did not eat them .

I would not have the time now days to do this , and after my little dog Poppy died  we agreed no

 more pets .

We are pet free after having pets for many years . I must say I do miss my pets but they would be a tie now with our life style .

So this week a did get chance to stitch a Christmas one .

               It was easy to stitch  I found the design in an old mag , the gift of stitching , Issue 47

               December 2009 . I have a  big box of Material that was given to me so not sure what the material is looks like 28cnt . 

I am just going to keep stitching Christmas untill I have enough ornaments for family and friends , then I will start making them up when summer has gone .

It's a crazy time of the year for me  , always busy inside and outside the home . 

Garden is still growing flowers coming out all the time , so I will leave you with some happy thoughts with photos outside , Enjoy your new week .
