Tea Time!

It really sum up my weekend, when I found myself stitching tea, whilst drinking tea....



Text looks a little bumpy, but with a little bit of tweeking with a needle I've managed to give it a much smoother finish...


This is my last full weekend of stitching for what I think will be a fortnight, I have family commitments and I'm moving (finally) into my new flat. Life takes over, and all my lovely projects have to be packaged up safely and carefully, pending it's travels to Farnham. Then well hopefully I'll have my studio/room up and running in quick time. I kind of need to get it sorted quickly, as I have a commission which I will be accepting tomorrow to get done by the end of August. It's not a private commission but something for a magazine. I weighed up everything, and I thought what the hell, what's life without a little bit of pressure ;) 

This isn't of course my last blog for a while, I can still squeeze in time for that! And I have a newsletter to get written and out by the 1st August too.

    1. hehehe thanks Chrissie. Well you know...I don't like to be bored, and I don't like to load heaps of pressure on myself. Hopefully sanity will remain till September.

    3. Ha, I love a good flat pack too. Weird like that. Much to the amusement of the family. Granted, they love it because I'll happily put anything they buy together.
