a little mouse stitching...

Now I don’t want to overwhelm everyone with my constant blogging – I’m on holidays don’t you know – however I thought perhaps more now will make up for less later on if you can follow my thinking... If you can’t - don’t worry - not many sane people can.

2011 - Wow... we are already into January with gusto and this is my first post here for the year... I have started the year in the way I mean to continue - stitching!! The little photo is proof of that... Yes I know it’s not on my “All Stitched Up” list but I did want it for something special - a friend’s birthday – which of course has past like a bat in the night – however I intend to finish it this week so I can at least give it to her in the month of her birthday. I am positive that cross stitch and I aren’t easy bed mates as I tend to see the pattern quite differently to other people – which of course results in lots of re-stitching. My friend A could have this little one whipped up in a day - me, it has taken nearly a week - true I haven't sat at him all day but I am so s-l-o-w... But I have persevered and hopefully he is on his way out the door next week... Before you ask me - he was a little kit on one of the english cross stitching magazines a couple of years ago... I will take a "farewell" photo of him before he goes...

The next waiting in the line is the Gail Pan BOM of 2009 – threads and needle are at the ready and once I have finished ‘Mouse’ they will be the centre of my attention. I feel like I am repeating myself here. Must be too much of a good thing like sleeping late etc, etc...

Well I hope whatever you are doing at the moment you are enjoying...

Until later...
