Creative busyness..

I've completed a bit more of my celtic lady cross stitch picture. I've done all the beading on the top border and right hand border and am now working on the left hand side sewing on the red beads. I've really enjoyed sewing this picture and will be a little sad when it's complete.



Exciting news!!!! I treated myself to a new to me Nikon camera recently... I'm absolutely loving using it, took little one to the zoo so there were loads of photo opps there. Recently decided to make my own camera case for it. I've had this material for ages and ages and wasn't sure what to make out of it, so I thought this little project would be perfect for it. The bag is quilted for extra security against knocks and toddlers :)

Baking Day

Had a fun baking day, making chocolate nests... they were yummy.... little one helped lots sorting out the paper cases and stirring!

Farm fun..

We had a great time recently going to an open farm, little one really loved the 'baa's' as she calls them! There were lots of animals to see including LOADS of chickens, some pigs who had recently had piglets - so cute, goats, sheep (of course) and cows. We came back with some freshly laid eggs that we picked ourselves and had a yummy slab of cake in the cafe...



Thought I'd leave you with a cute pic of the dog snoozing after his bath, it's a hard life isn't it!??

Celtic Lady

Not much been happening so far this week, took little girly swimming this morning, it was lovely she's really enjoying splashing around!

Bit more progress (above) on celtic christmas design, I've done some more of the left hand border, it's coming along slowly but surely.

Woods

We went to Shipley Woods this morning and had a picnic, it was lovely, so quiet and peaceful... we walked for about 2 and a half hours and are very tired now... going to work on my celtic christmas cross stitch later on this evening, can't wait!

Celtic Christmas WIP

I've been doing lots of cross stitching just lately. This is my progress so far... it's quite fiddly sewing all the little stitches in metallic thread, taking a lot longer than with normal cottons but it's getting there.

I'm planning on completing it for this christmas, finger's crossed!
