Not much to show

Although I have stitched lots on Henry I haven't taken a picture yet, I will get one taken over the weekend. I am very pleased with how much I have done, I spent several hours on Wednesday night stitching and watching the Brits. Then yesterday and today I have been on holiday from work....yeah... so spent lots of yesterday afternoon stitching.


Today I spent the morning painting Laura's bedroom, nearly finished now. Thanks for all the well wishes for the girls, Laura now has a shiny 'train tracks' brace on half of the top of her teeth (next half to be fitted in May) she also has to have a couple of teeth out with our normal dentist before the next visit. Becky's exam went ok I think, although she says it was really hard, she'll get her results in about 5 weeks. On Monday Becky has her first orthodontist appointment so she'll be going down the same road as Laura, although her teeth don't stick out as much.



This afternoon we have all been shopping, I wanted to look at new phones as I want one for my birthday and I also wanted to look at clothes because I need something new to wear for Phil and Nicky's wedding. Sadly I didn't see either a phone or outfit that I want.... I am so picky!! To give ourselves all a treat we then went to Pizza Hut for tea...... boy am I stuffed full now!!



So here is a stitching picture to show - this is the biscornu design that was in The World of Cross Stitching last year. Since making that first one a few weeks ago I wanted to make another. I have actually managed to stitch some of this at work again...tut tut!!

And here is the Margaret Sherry Cat in a Mug finally completed!!

So back to Henry, I am actually working on the bottom of Jane's dress and the middle of Anne's...... looking forward to showing it to you over the weekend. I also go and pick up my framing tomorrow so will be showing those too.

Have a good weekend.
