2 more OWLs done.

I've managed to do 2 more of my Owl SAL.  Just December to finish.  Then I think I will make it into a cushion, when all the stitching is done.

I've stitch these 3 in February.

Here is a link to the OakHaven Designs Blog if you want to have a look at how other's have stitched there owls.

It's been much milder here weather wise, and we are getting more birds in our garden.  Even a fox ventured through the garden, while I was washing up the breakfast things today. 

Great Tit

On Saturday evening we had a beautiful sunset, which I captured on camera.

And here are some wonderful tall snowdrops.

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
