What would you do?

Hi Guys, or should that be Gals but for some reason it doesn't sound right...
Now I am sure you will of noticed that I haven't made many posts of late, life has been a bit all over the place, and I haven't got anything done, things supplies wise have gone a bit pear shaped and the projects I had planed on making will have to wait a little while and somehow I couldn't decide what to do so I ended up looking at your blogs Pinterest, like you do.. well I think I have a couple of things I might try, some more egg cozies but much simpler ones this time and maybe a fabric flower from a craft book I have, but I can see there are going to be times when I am waiting for supplies so I think it would be a good idea to have a cross stitch project on the go in the background to go to so I don't spend too many hours online, this is where you come in,

Do I?

  1. I have a wip that I started before Adam was a lad, Winter Sampler which I don't seem to of got very far with at all it is quite large or at least for me it is.
  2. Do a few small cross stitch things I have
  3. Start afresh with a new biggish kit.
What would you do? 

Other news
The oilcloth arrived yesterday, pop over to Dotty Brown the fabric is just lovely. 

Today I was back at the hospital for  follow up appointment from treatment I had in January, the bloods I had before treatment were normal and the iodine take up was normal in the throat, the scan after treatment were in the normal range and the thing on my liver is just a cyst. This is the first good news I have had in over a year of hospital visits so I just felt the need to share, I am at long last moving in the right direction. Plus he put some of my medication down because I am so tired all the time and I can't sleep normally still awake 2-3 am, so that should help with that. 

One more question, do any of you know what I have done wrong with the links underneath the posts? it keeps showing the same ones.

I'm a winner!



I'm so excited, I have just popped onto my colours of a butterfly email only to find that I have won a competition, I can't remember the last time I won anything it has really made my day, just what I needed tonight I am back at the hospital tomorrow and this has put a smile on my face, no mean feat let me tell you.

So wanna know where from and what?

The competition was on Simply Homemade magazine website and I have won 3, 1/2 meters of oil cloth from Dotty Brown
Apple Seasfoam
Beach Hut
Spotty Chocolate

To be honest I have not sewn with oilcloth before but I am sure that is going to change very soon.

L'amour

Hi there, in January I teased you with what I had stitched Hubby for Valentines day In this post Well I promised I would show you on the day itself, so here it is.


The pattern was in  Cross Stitcher, they suggested to make a card with it but I thought I would make it a bit more.



Hubby hasn't seen it yet, we exchanged cards at 6am this morning.  I will give it to him when he gets home from work, I hope he likes it.

Wishing you all a happy Valentines Day, hope you have a nice loving day x

Questions

Hi guys, I thought today hopefully you won't mind me picking your brains, I would ask a couple of questions.

  1. I am trying to find my balance, how often do you blog? Is it just when you feel you have something to say or do you have a little routine, say once or twice a week, which do you think works best in the blogging world? 
  2. I've noticed that quite a few of you have your posts moderated, is that to stop spam or for people that find the need to be nasty, both? 
  3. This is a craft question, I am hoping sometime this year to try a bit of patchwork, what would you recommend to start with? 
  4. This is just a little one to get to know you, what is your favourite craft? 


Hope you are all staying warm and cozy in the cold weather.
