Stitching, stitching.... Stitching!!

Hello lovely friends, I am so so happy to be here..... Really I am :)

I have missed blogging so much, I found it helped me in so many ways too.... So it's nice to say to you all I am back!! We easing myself slowly back into it!!

It's nice to be home and stitching, oh and stitching I have been!!

Just as I got home jon told me my subscription copy of Cross Stitch Collection magazine, issue 125 turned up... Good timing!! So I flicked through the pages and thought ooooh I could stitch that!  Changed a few colours and off I started... Oh yes I wanted to challenge myself a little so stitched it on 30 count opalescent white fabric, over 1.  Let me tell you it was a fun and interesting stitch :)

The magazine...

The design is called "Friends Forever" by Maria Diaz.....

Almost done....

Through my magnifying lens, as yes I did pick it up the more I stitched I found it easier.

And the finished project...

I put my scissors and a DMC thread bobbin next to my finished project so you can see the scale of it...

It was actually a lot of fun to stitch, I loved the bright colours too. Goodness!! I forgot to show you all the other stitching I was doing... From the booklet...remember this one...

For those who guessed GO YOU!! Yes indeed I chose the bee hive.  I am not sure why but bees, bee hives I just love to stitch... They are so pretty.

Here it is.... This is actually a photo I took whilst stitching in hospital, I decided to not stitch the bee at the top and I still had to add the flower French knots.

Not that good a photo... But you can see I stitched it!  Bzz Bzz

So I bet your all wondering what I am up to now?? H aha ha

Well it's something I started last year and it gives me a smile everytime I look at it... Not a lot left to stitch on it, so I thought why not!! I will post photos of that in my next update.

I was thinking, you know I had wanted to do so much this year, half of the year is almost over now... I feel a little awful as you all have been ever so kind to me and you must think I am terrible.  I cannot believe I have spent so much time in and out of hospital.. Fingers crossed that I am on the mend now and starting to get my life back.

Today is Sunday but I had to go to the hospital... Yes my local one :(. Oh don't worry it was for a planned schedules appointment, with the MRI scanner.  See I have been waiting for what seemed forever to get my knee scanned... Let's hope they do something with it now as I still cannot walk properly or straighten it.  The scan went fine, just a little stiff Nd sore when It was all over.  To wait for the follow up appointment next....

Sending you all big happy smiles :)

Thank you so much for popping in to see me, please do feel free to,leave a happy comment :)
