WHO Bread...

I'm just making WHO bread from Amanda Blake-Soule's recipe here... http://soulemama.typepad.com/soulemama/2008/02/who-bread.html

Sounds yummy, I love baking bread, although I have to admit I make it in the breadmaker!

Am currently reading a really gripping story called The Terror by Dan Simmons, it's a really big novel but very interesting. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Terror-Dan-Simmons/dp/0553818201/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1255634129&sr=8-2

Sampler Complete!

Hello

Well I finished baby's birth sampler a couple of weeks ago... am soooo pleased with it!

Working on knitting up baby blanket that I started a while ago... hope to get that finished before her birthday in December.

Yesterday we had a nice day visiting my partner's grandad and parents. It was his grandad's 90th birthday last week so we gave him his present and cards, then we had a yummy curry for tea and settled down in front of tv watching Trueblood and knitting.

Today we visited my parents who have just come back from a trip abroad to LA! They absolutely loved it there, the people were so friendly and had a great time.

Well ta ta for now am settling down to do more knitting!

Sampler Update!

Very nearly finished it now! Am just on the final lettering ...

Really busy, manic day today, hope you all have a lovely weekend, we have plans to take the doggy out on Sunday - we always take him out every day at least once, but at weekends we go a bit further afield... he loves it...

Birth Sampler...

Am getting there with the sampler am now up to 'I' on the sampler (I started the alphabet backwards!!), hoping to complete it soon as it's getting a bit tedious now...

Going to pick the last of the blackberries in our garden today to freeze... can't wait for apple and blackberry crumbles etc in winter, yum!

The colours of the leaves on the trees are just turning now, beautiful oranges and reds... love this time of year, think it's my favourite... what's yours?

Anchor Birth Sampler

I'm working on a Anchor Cross Stitch Birth Sampler with alphabet and teddy bears on that I received for a Christmas pressie last year.. has anybody else done this design? I'm really enjoying doing it.

Birthday Crown

Hi folks!

Have just complete a felted birthday crown for my daughter's first birthday! (Her birthday isn't until December but I wanted to get ahead!) What do you all think of it? I'm personally so pleased, I got the template from Amanda Soule's book 'The Creative Family'. So love that book. Think am going to embroider a little star for each of her birthdays!
