September is almost over!!

I've been neglecting my blog!!  Please forgive me!!

I have been stitching, and have finished a birthday card for my friend Janet.  It shows the two spies who went into the Promised Land and came back with a large bunch of grapes.


I've also been stitching another 'Popcorn' freebie, while I've been away.  It's always good to have something with you while you’re away on holiday.  In the evenings while my husband sits and watches TV, especially the football, I sit and stitch, if the lighting is good. 

I've been travelling about a bit.  In early September we visited Cardiff and travelled out to Llandaff.  We also visit Worcester Cathedral on the way back home.  I have also just got back from a lovely holiday in the Scottish boards.  This time we visited Edinburgh, Floors Castle, Kelso, Jedburgh, Melrose and Peebles. 

Barony Castle Hotel, Scotland.

I shall have to get back to my stitching.  Christmas is approaching fast!!

Scotland and stitching

Hi Everyone

WOW! I've just noticed that I have now 100 followers!!  What a lovely surprise.  Thank you all, for your support and friendship as well as the lovely comments you have made about my blog.

I've been away for awhile and also have had a friend staying over.  So instead of stitching, I've been taking lots of photo's and visiting lots of places.  So I thought I would share something I stitched some time ago, of an Edwardian Girl having a paddle in the sea.  It's an "All Our Yesterdays" design by Fay Whittaker and a freebie kit from a cross stitching magazine (not sure which one).

Here are some freebies from DMC France of two "All Our Yesterdays" Charts.  Balloon Journey and First Kiss.

-ooOoo-

Scotland

As usual I have some photo's to share with you all.  It was a bit overcast and cold at times but the main thing was that we enjoyed ourselves.





Until next time, Happy Stitching Everyone
