Done it!!

Finally i have added the writing 'Red Rum' like i wanted on sunday, father's day. So i gave this to my dad straight away! He's thrilled with it. all i want to do now is find a suitable frame for it, i think i would like a boarder mount for it as well.
Dad didn't go to his trip on sunday after. The bus didn't turn up! Dad and his friend were there on time at least 5 mins before they were there for a full half hour waiting.
So when my dad's friend complained apparently the bus was there. Well just saying he was there, but actually was he there?
Anyway done some more on my WIP and i have done some colour mixing also called tweeding on it, quite a pain in the backside!

Happy Stitching!

Father's Day

Here is the Father's day card i finished yesterday. From last years Cross Stitch card shop magazine. It was quite quick to do.

I was going to put this into a aperture card. i picked out the suitable colour out of the pack. When i go to unfold the card to put my stitching in, it was all stuck together!

How, i do not know it was stuck as like i normally would stick them but with the stitching in of course. But this had no stitching in it, and it was still in with the other cards as if it hadn't been touched.

I tried to pull it apart but it was way too sticky. It was a light green colour card anyway. why it was stuck without anything in it i don't know. So the blue looks quite fine to me now.

Anyway, he has had this early as i won't see him on sunday until about 7pm.
He will be off on a trip with his friend to the Brecon beacons in Wales.

So i am to cook the dinner again. We will be having beef dinner by the looks of things.






Well here is some more progress on Margaret Sherry Horse. Been doing some right side of the background. Sorry about the pic, i hate where the hoop makes a ring too.

June Stitching Goals

Hello all, well its been so long i didn't realise! These days just fly by....
We've had nice weather and some days have been horrible.
Well we have had more good news on our stuff, but havent really been able to get back for it. The Landlord has been lying he said to the lady who is helping us that we have not been evicted,lol. Doesn't mean we're going back there though.
But he also says our stuff is still in our room. but now we're just waiting on a man and a van. Hopefully everything will be there.
If nothing is there, lady said we can go to the police.

Anyway, back to the stitching. I havent done much, apart from the past few days. Done some on my MS horse and started on a father's day card.

June Goals:

A Quick Finish!

Here is my Latest piece. Hot off the needle!! the bow took longer to do than the whole stitching, lol! This is from a past uk CrossStitcher Magazine.
I will put it up somewhere in my room, its so pretty!!

Thank you and some good news.

Hi all, thank you to the stitchers who have wished me a Happy birthday!!

well as i didn't do much on my birthday the next day was quite productive.
We fancied a cooked breakfast. So we decided to go to the cafe down the road as they always have the offer of a cooked breakfast.
well would you believe it! It was closed. out of all the times we pass there everyday and its open. it had to be closed when we fancied something!
Well, anyway we still fancied this darn breakfast. So we decided to walk further down the road and try the pub. Was there breakfast there?? no!
So we decided to have steak dinner each. well we only had to spend a little more to get a free bottle of wine. we didn't fancy any side orders so had some chocolate indulgence ice cream.
The wine was quite nice actually.

Coming home i knew i shouldn't have gone down this little hill, i wasn't tipsy or anything, for some reason i didn;t fancy going down this hill. I had only 2 glasses of wine a one of the alcho pops. But this was the only shortest route.
Going down this hill, i slipped somehow my left foot touched my bum and the right leg went on top of that leg, so kind of hurt!
was quite upset as not often i fall, and the last time i fell was down a few steps, which hurt!
But after this fall it didn't hurt for long, but in the night it did and i can still feel it now.

Well today had some news, a reply from the people helping with our housing and getting our stuff back from that ex-landlord of ours.
She has sent us a copy of the letter she has sent to him. She has said that we don't want to go back living there due to that we will not be pursuing any breaches of the landlord and tenant act 1985 against him.
She has also wrote that we have asked for our stuff that were in the rooms to be returned. and that if he could write to her so then can arrange collection of our goods then she will get back to us.
This letter was dated the 12th may. so not sure if it was sent to him on that date. But sure she should get a reply from him this week or the next. hopefully she will recieve it one day shes in the office to make things go a bit faster if she hasn't already had it.
She also must have typed out what she wrote of what we told her what has happened as this was also in the letter. There is a few other acts he has breached we can have him for, but i think we will do that after recieving our stuff.
This has been such a long wait a few weeks maybe. But i'm just glad its now on the move!!
Lets hope we have more luck now.
So now next after recieving our stuff back maybe we can get a place. well silly to get a place if we haven't got stuff otherwise we will be bored haha.
So i'm happy happy happy just hearing that as i haven't heard from them since we went there for help. Will keep you updated on this.

Happy Stitching!!
