Finish Fail

I took this (bad) photo of my cross-stitch thinking I had finished...then noticed that I haven't done the word 'three' underneath to match the other 2! Sigh.

I bought the pattern book for these a few years ago and intended to make all 12 of the designs. That isn't going to happen. I don't actually enjoy cross-stitch all that much, mainly because the end product is impractical and can't be used for anything. So I am stopping at 3 and will have to try and work out what I want to do with them. I'm thinking little cushions. Maybe.

Birthday...almost forgot this year!

Thanks for the birthday wishes! That food looks good. I will just get you to make it for me when you come back : ) I will keep an eye out for the post! Seems like the Swedish get their mail delivered faster than us...so maybe it won't take 7 weeks like mine did. Tsk tsk.

I had an ok day, had to work, but home now and relaxing. I have started a new cross-stitch and will reveal the cutesy pattern in due course. Having dinner with the family tonight and day off tomorrow!

Wardrobe Lurkers

Since when did I have the patience (or the time for that matter) to make something like this? And then to make more than one? I found these when I was hunting through my wardrobe for something appropriate to wear when teaching 30 children how to construct a bar graph. I think the plan was to make 3 of these and hang them in a row...hmm. Not sure about that anymore. The dandelion one just about blinded me and gave me some serious rage. And Cameron's mum looked over my shoulder just as I was finishing the agapantha (sp?) one and said " Oh those flowers have just been classed as a noxious weed". Awesome.
