We are in the middle of a lovely weekend here in the Midlands, I even did a bit of gardening yesterday! And plan on doing a little more today. As it is now Easter holidays I have plans for the garden that Stuart can be working on while he's off and I'm still at work! We have a large, wide boring slabbed path that I want turfing over... so that should keep him busy! Although the weather forecast is not so good for in the week, hope it improves again.
Today I have Easter Cones to sew together! Here are the finished chickens, just need to iron them and put some interfacing on the back. You can also see the lovely lilac checked fabric I bought yesterday and the matching ribbon to make the cones with. The instructions are in the cross stitcher magazine..... I hope I can follow them!!
I also started the stitching for Laura's birthday card in the week. She had pointed out, a while ago, these Geisha Girl designs in an old issue of World of Cross Stitching so I decided to stitch one of them for her. It is coming along really well and I love the colours in it, although so far you can mainly see peach and black!!
I have put in a lot of time on Family Tree too and will show the update on that next time. I have completed the things I aimed to do this week so I am pleased with that. I have also stitched the correct names not the incorrect next generation up.... thank goodness.
Anyway I must go and get some ironing done.... then I can get the sewing machine out. Hopefully I'll have some great Easter Cones to show on my next post too! Full of yummy little Easter Eggs!!
