A very late WOYWW this week - in fact its now the very early hours of Thursday morning. This week I have been working on a cross stitch baby sampler - it has 12 wee characters from the Beatrix Potter stories around the outside and then the baby's details in the centre - so far I have five of the wee characters stitched. As you will probably have noticed this is not my usual workdesk - it was in fact the end of the sunlounger at the side of the pool at a villa in Cyprus - just beautiful. Unfortunately now we are half frozen after just arriving back into Belfast and stepping out of the plane to be met with temperatures of around 5 degrees! Also this week, I completed a lovely 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle - I only bring them on holiday as I would neglect everything else if I was to build one at home!

ReplyDeleteCan you not sleep? Either can I, must be the strange bed! Love the cross stitch & the jigsaw
ReplyDeletePretty cross stitch there! I've done a bit in my time and yours looks really even. And I'm envious of the location too, hope you had a good rest. But it is a shock coming back to our laughable Spring temperatures isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI adore jigsaws, but like you, I can't rest until it has been completed, so they don't come out that often!!
Hugs, LLJ 35 xxxx
Ohhh lucky you getting a bit of heat AND sunshine!! Hope you had a good time ... don't forget to share a pic of your finished sampler :)
ReplyDeleteHi Bernice, you have my sympathies - coming home to these awful temperatures. It surely was a delight to sit by a pool and stitch - and a lovely choice of characters, everybody lovely Beatrice Potter characters. Your completed jigsaw is lovely - looks complicated. I love jigsaw puzzles too but I to get one of those boards to work on. The dining table is the only surface large enough so I can't leave a jigsaw out. Have a wonderful weekend. Elizabeth x #40
ReplyDeleteHi Bernice. Welcome home - hope you had a great holiday.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous!I wouldn't have the patience or the skill to even try it.
Yes, I'll be at the King's Hall on Thursday, Friday and Saturday (just not Thursday evening). Will you be coming? I'll be demoing Tonic for Mark at Crafty Devils so come and say "Hello".It would be lovely to see you again. Is Eleanor coming with you?

Hi again, I am hoping to leave around 5.00pm as I have things to do at home but I'll try to hang around a little if you're not too late. Looking forward to seeing you x
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the craft show Bernice ... don't think I'm going this year, I don't get paid till Monday and I'm broke :(
