Cross Stitch for Chloe

Chloe is the daughter of a close friend and last Christmas I decided to make her a little cross stitch picture. This is the cross stitcher SOMEBUNNY design.

And here is a pic of a little koala sent to me (with other cute pics) from Tel when I was worrying about seeing the dentist. Did it stop me worrying? No, but it did make me smile.

Lastly I can't blog today without wishing my mum a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY - have a great day mum x

Family X Stitch for Tel

I haven't felt like blogging for ages as you will have noticed, but now we are in our new home and I am feeling settled I suddenly feel a great urge to stitch and to show you the work you have missed.

This is a piece I stitched for Terry. Its very symbolic for us with the word FAMILY and two pretty homes with friendly smoke billowing from the chimneys. With Terry being away its hard work to stay a family unit rather than me and J and Tel being the visiting daddy, and of course Tel is on his own out in Algeria, far away from home and us. He has the cross stitch with him on his wall.

I hope you like it.

A Little Pressie for school

Here is a little sampler (chart from cross stitcher and available free from the coats crafts site) made for J's classroom at school. His class is called 1NM. Hope you like it

YAY Terry!!

Back in Blogland

Hello

Crikey its three months since I posted!! I am still alive, sometimes well and still sewing although not as often as I would like.

Terry has completed another rotation and is now 2 days into his next stint at work. I had him at home with me for a whole month and the house seems empty without him. We were blessed with gorgeous weather and spent time walking with Monty and driving round the hills of North Wales. J loved having Daddy home of course and the two of them tackled soft play, swimming, endless bike riding and goodness knows what else.

The really big news is we have found a house we want to buy. We have put in an offer, had it accepted, done the survey and are now waiting for the legal bits to all be sorted so we can exchange contracts. I have a pic ready to share with you as soon as its all sealed!! Watch this space.

Well I feel ready to get back into blogging so I hope you are prepared to see a bit more of me from now on.

Terry is home today so I will be busy with family stuff for the next 8 days. Lots of pics of Christmas pressie sewing I can share with you then.

Love to all

Llandudno

Hello My friends

I thought I would share with you some pictures of where I live.....

This is Llandudno....

Image no 1 is the promenade in the snow, No 2 is the bay from the Great Orme and No 3 is the West Shore from Marine Drive (Great Orme).

Llandudno is on the North coast of Wales and the town is found between two headlands - the Great Orme and the Little Orme. The town grew mainly as a Victorian tourist resort and many of the buildings are Victorian although there is a bronze age mine on the Great Orme.

The name Llandudno is a Welsh name Meaning Church (Llan) of St Tudno. It is pronounced with the welsh double ll which doesn't easily translate into an English sound but is somewhere between L and Cl.

Most of the attractions here are summer based for the tourists and tend to be traditional such as a Punch and Judy show and cable car rides, but there are more odern additions which J really enjoys like the Ski slope and the Taboggan run.

All in all, I love it here and I hope you have enjoyed having a peek into where I live - I challenge you to do the same.
