A New Start

Before our holiday I had another finish. The lavender needlecase that I've had as a UFO for too long *hanging head in shame*  When it was finally done it held spare needles for Scotland.

For my holiday stitching in Scotland I took my Mary Wigham Sampler, this has been sat in my stitching bag for a while with hardly anytime being devoted to it *hanging head in shame*  Although I didn't get a lot of time to stitch on it as we were so busy having fun I did put in a few stitches here and there and this is how it's looking now...

On our return to Yorkshire instead of carrying on with my HAED I decided to have a break and dig out a project that has been sat in my drawer for quite some time. This is by Country Cottage and is called "She Sells Seashells" I'm stitching it on some 28ct that I found in my stash box, using the threads it calls for which are DMC and Crescent Colours. Finding it really quick and easy to stitch whilst the kids are still on holidays.

"And how did Scotland go?"  I hear you ask....exhausting, wonderful, fun, warm. We had long walks in the forest, on the beach, visited a few new places, Peter Boo had a photoshoot in Sweetheart Abbey and on the beach, visited Mabie Farm Park where Darcy discovered her adventurous streak (much to my hearts sinking LOL!) lots and lots of swimming and the 2 youngest completed a nature trail. Here's a few highlights...
