April Owl Finished

Welcome to all my new followers.  It's always a lovely surprise to see new faces, and extra special when I've only just got back from being away for a few days.

Well as promised, here is my Oak Haven April Owl finally finished.

Well, I've just been touring around Norfolk, and the place I've been staying at have mallard ducks with lots and lots of ducklings.  As usual, my camera was with me and here are just some of the photo's I took for you to look at.

Aren't they just so cute!

While I was away, I did do some stitching.  I've been doing a miniature "Celtic Knot" by Textile Heritage.  I've almost finished, I just need to do some backstitching and a few extra stitches.  Unfortunately, the lighting was not good and I could not stitch too long at night.  So watch this space for an update.

Happy Stitching Everyone

Derwent and Howden Reservoirs

I went for a lovely walk in the Upper Derwent Valley on Saturday with a group of friends.  This time we started in Fairholmes which is close to the Derwent Dam.  We walked along the side of the reservoir until we reached Howden Dam, and then retraced our steps.  As usual I took lots of photo's along the way. 

Goldcrest

We were so very pleased to see some Goldcrests flying about.  They are similar to the Firecrest and also the smallest European bird.  I was very lucky to get a photo of one of them.

UFO Stitch Along

I belong to a forum that has a weekly UFO Stitch Along.  This group really helps me to keep focused on my stitching.  So, every Monday you will find me busy stitching, and on Tuesday it's "Show Time".  I have promised to show my "Time and Season Sampler".  So watch this space for an update.

Happy Stitching
