A cat and a cottage

I took my stitching "I Do" in to my local shop to be framed, while I was on I took View from a Terrace too....... so that's a big bill!! They will be ready to collect next Saturday.... can't wait.

Over the weekend I was busy stitching on my little cat in a mug.... Here he is almost finished just a bit of back stitch left! He is so cute!!

I also spent lots of time over the last week stitching on Country Idyll, I am really enjoying this even though there are lots of colours. I was short of a few so I have ordered some off a seller on Ebay who sells bundles of 5/10/20 etc at a really good price. I think you can begin to see the cottage taking shape. I worked out I had stitched about 10% of the picture.

This week is half term holiday, so only me at work today!! I have booked Thursday and Friday off though, so a nice short week. I intend to finally finish painting Laura's bedroom!!!!

Tomorrow is a nerve racking day for the girls. Laura has her orthodontic appointment for the first fitting of her brace including 2 teeth being removed, so she is really nervous. Stuart is going with her.... I was too chicken!! Then Becky has her Grade 4 Tap dancing exam in the afternoon and she is convinced she'll get bits wrong! I have promised them both Ben and Jerry's ice cream tomorrow for after tea to make them feel better!!

So it is back to Henry tonight, don't the weeks fly by. I am looking forward to starting Anne Boleyn, she is Laura's favourite wife!!

Have a good week.
