first symbol update

well this is my first update of hubby's pressie. He has a huge led zep fan and has been wanting me to do their symbols for ages. i finally got round to choosing the fabric and went for Ink from Sparklies - I am loving it, just the colour i wanted, it is a bit darker than shown here. Guess where i'll be stopping at first when we hit Harrogate this year!

Some more pictures of our trip to Culzean and yes Gillie, this is where the Eisnhower Apartment is, this was given to him after the war. However as far as I am aware now you can actually stay there as it is part of the National Trust and they have various residences as holiday lets.

Am now back at work but back off again next week - here's hoping the weather actually improves, it has been so miserable here for the last few weeks, the day i took these photos has been about the only time the sun has been out lol!

neve at culzean

Okay just a- little experiment to see how easy it is to upload my photos from my new phone. Just been down to Culzean County Park -this is my dd Neve posing up on the castle walls.

White Nights

I finally got round to doing a bit more on my Chatelaine White Nights in St Petersburg and am making steady progress on part 2 - only 10 more to go lol! I love it though - so sparkly ..

july update - all the two's

right -i have not fallen off the face of the world but with various stuff going on stitching has taken a bit of a back seat. on top of that the pesky IT people at work have banned blogs! so am struggling to keep up with everything going on in blog world - it's just not fair, what am i meant to do with lunchtime now.. so piccies now as to where i am at

first off - two bent creek snappers, April and July

- should get July finished up tonight

second page of bramble rose done as well

on to second page of Twilight Shimmer from HAED

and this week going to work on second page of Chatelaine St Petersburg .

We ended up visiting Bath twice in May as my MIL was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer and died with 5 weeks of diagnosis. It was all so quick it came as quite a shock to all the family. However it was also good catching up with all the family and friends in Bath and made us realise we really must make an effort to visit more often .. Lee does get quite homesick at times and me to (even though technically not my home lol!) but alas with the cost of living there we have no chance of ever being able to live there again, so Scotland you are stuck with us.. heading back down there in October though

one more week for me at work and then two glorious weeks off, back for a week and then another week off. waiting to see what the weather does, hopefully okay and we can get the tent out but if not it's going to be a long couple of weeks at home ..

a finish a finish

well two finishes to report one stitching, one book:

1. homer- will get him off to the framers next weekend and then it'll be on it's way down to Wales.

2. The Fiery Cross - finally got it finished lol! I'd had it out since january and i couldn't renew it any more so it had to be done - now on to the next one...
