Next Project

I have made a start on LK Living with Charm series, stitching all on the same piece of fabric. Its going to be a quick stitch.

Here is Surrounding Hope

Just need to finish it off now. I saw this & thought of me!

Off to the Framer..

Finished Coast to Coast. Did I mention I detest French Knots? Looking forward to seeing it framed.

Irish Blessing

Wow, 8 months..

Since posting on my blog. Life has a nasty habit of getting in the away. Still fighting the big C, I am still here, so I am winning I guess.
Thankfully, I am over my long stitching slump. Just finished Irish Blessing & nearly done with my current project. With a bit of luck I can get them both off to the framer next week.
I do love a new start. No compulsion to tackle the UFO/WIP's as yet.
Here is Irish Blessing.

Whoo Hoo a Knitting finish..

Just finished stitching up a Cardigan for Liz. I am enjoying my knitting binge at the moment. I really need to finish off some of my stitching soon.

The Snow has arrived..

I thought we were going to miss the bad weather. No such luck. Snowing hard this afternoon. The view from my front door.

Sam..

Samuel is now nearly 2yrs old, growing like a weed! He is such a joy to be around.

Scarf

Happy New Year

Let's see if I can keep up with my blog this year. Can you believe another year has begun. I am keeping resonably well, fingers crossed. Still stitching, but having a little break at the moment. I have discovered my knitting needles again. Just have the 2 fronts to do on a Cardigan for Liz.
I will then take turns between stitching and knitting I think. Knit a shawl & a scarf for myself as well.

BBQ at Darrens

The Family decended on my DS for a BBQ. What a lovely day, nice catching up with everyone. Well done Darren you did us proud.

Sam's formal pics

These are gorgeous.. I know, I am biased.

Sam and Balls

He loves playing with Balls, look at him here in his ball pool.

WW again

After falling by the wayside last time I joined, my Dr has referred me back. Given my Medical history its hard for me to see the benefits of dieting. BUT..my mobility is so badly affected now, I figure it will be for my own benefit to lose weight. So here I am with lots of positive thoughts and determination. Wish me well. I have taken a before pic, but until you can see the difference I am keeping it under wraps! lol

This was taken on Mothers Day, when my Family took me out for a meal.

Its time I was back!

My life went to He** in a hand basket in Febuary. I have now dusted myself off & trying hard to get back to some sort of normal living. My last CT scan showed that my Lung Cancer was back.. 3 years post op.. Nothing more to be done, so I am just getting on with things. The one good thing is, its a slow growing type, so my Oncologist "Thinks" I should be reasonably well till the end of the year. Plenty more Stitching time to be had then eh!

I have been keeping up with my projects, still stitching The Four Seasons Marolein Bastin & Cirque des Cercles with Wildflowers thread. I will take some pics soon & show my progress.

Feb Stitching Goals

1. Stitch at least a week on MB Good Neighbours
2. Make good progress on Four Seasons
3. Finish Diva's smalls piece4
4. Stitch Scissor Fob
5. Get some hrs in on my Hardhanger piece.

Boo Hoo..

Not lost a thing this week, now to stay positive. Have CT tomorrow, so feeling a tad wound up. If result is not favourable, I have some decisions to make. Send me lots of positive thoughts, I sure need them.

Grandma Irene again!

I looked after Sam yesterday, what a live wire he is. He has just discovered there is life beyond the floor. He like to pull himself up using your trousers or ought else thats handy! lol Here he is, can't miss a photo op.
