What a week

This week I have mainly been trying to crochet. I have never done it before but I thought it would be a good idea to learn as I could then crochet the hats for the girls for Christmas. I have decided to give it up as a bad job though lol here are the more recognisable attempts at it.

 

 

As you can see not great, I am struggling to get the tension right. 

Don't get me wrong I won't give up trying to do it but I just don't think that I have time to master it and get everything done for Christmas. Maybe next year crochet gifts will feature heavily...but then maybe not lol.

In other news, I have been suffering this week with migraines and so haven't done much else.

In cross stitch I have finished Santa,

Day 2

 Day 3

 Before the magic of back stitch

 With the magic of back stitch

I have also had some help with my Christmas stitching from my other half, 

 However, I can't use it bless him as he has not kept the stitches in the right way :(

But I think you can agree, that he did a fantastic job for a beginner.

I have started a Boofle piece that I got with a copy of World of Cross Stitch magazine. Here he is,

Though I forgot to buy the ecru colour I need for the piece so will work around it until I need to buy some new threads. As I'm sure I have said before I refuse to but a single thread as it costs too much lol.

I have also completes Kerry's scarf for Christmas,

This looks great. but it took longer to do hers than the other two put together. It is a basic garter stitch scarf so I can't understand why. It also used up a full ball of yarn where the other two only used up half. How strange.

Anyway, off to try get some more bits made, speak soon.

Finally...The Wedding is Complete.

Well, as the title says it is done, finished, complete. Over a month of work, a few hiccups, running out of thread etc. But now it is done and ready to be sent off to the framers. He will be collecting it in a day or so and so I can move on now to other things.

What??? You want to see it?? Really?? 

OK here is the finished stitch

I don't think you can really judge the size of this properly so here I am holding it.

As you can see it covers me from neck to bum lol. Told you it was a big piece.

It would have to be to cover my bum lol.

So now what to do?? hmmm oh yeah, back to the Christmas stitches

I made a start on a new one here

But I made a mistake and had to do some frogging, here it is after the frogging

Gutted is not the word a good couple hours work down the pan.

I then started stitching again and got this far

Another night and this will be done. Fingers crossed.

Tomorrow is my 8th wedding anniversary, and so the hubby and I will be chilling out watching one of our fave programmes on DVD, kids in bed early we may even be able to watch 4 episodes. It''s a sad life isn't it lol.

We will go out to celebrate at the weekend no doubt too. I'm not that hard done to lol.

Anyway off to bed for me apparently I will be woken up early so I can have breakfast in bed. 

Speak soon xx
