Doggie sitting almost over!!!

Well my son and his family will be home any time so we will have to give Poppie back she has been a lovely little companion over this last week we will both miss her. It will be lovely to see my little darlings again though we have missed them.
Had a lovely stitching night last night with my friend Christine at Michelle's house (Mouse as some on the blogging world might know her). I was crocheting all night on my baby blanket ( I will post piccies over the weekend)
It's a lovely sunny day so we are spending time in the back garden, it's on two levels, mostly block paved and pots. It needs a lot of tender loving care spent on it so hopefully this weekend we may be able to give it a go. That's all for now, time to get busy again!! xx

My stitchy, crocheting dog sitting weekend

First I thought I would show you all my little dog for the week. She's my son's little dog, she's called Poppy and is a Norfolk Terrier. We are looking after her this week as they have gone on holiday and me and Richard have decided we are doing a 'fair swap' when they get back, the dog for the Grand-children!! (hehe) as Poppy is so much better behaved and does everything you tell her. (Don't worry Christian, Chloe and Jessica Grandma's only joking!!!
Below Poppy's picture is what I've been up to, a bit of crocheting, the coloured one is going to be a baby's little blanket it's done in Larksfoot stitch where you pick up on the row below. The other is a good old granny square, not sure what it may become. I've well and truly got the crocheting bug. I found some fantastic tutorials by the crochet geek on You Tube, she explains really well and there is loads of patterns to choose from.
And finally a little bit more of the secret stitching............any more ideas???
Well I'm off now to kit up a new start, it's going to be a small Christmas ornament from last years American mag I got...it's never too early to make a start. Happy stitching  xx Bev

Guess what I'm stitching??

Hi, well I've just had a stitchy night here at mine with my lovely friends Kath ,Michelle and Christine. There's never a lot of stitching done really but lots of chatting, laughing and of course a bun!! Tonight's delight was chocolate muffins made today by my two Grand-daughters.

Well the blogging world is quite new to me and I am eager to get new followers so what I thought I would do is have a little competition and I will send a surprise stitching package to the winner. Sooooo  guess what I am stitching?? xx Bev

I feel a stitchy weekend comin up!!!

Well it's the Bank Holiday weekend and I've decided to just have a 'stitchy time'. I have a WIP for a leaving present for my Deputy Head at school who is leaving in the summer. Our school emblem is an owl so I thought this was apt, it's a lovely little design from Jardin Prive.

I've also been looking through my finished pieces because I never get around to doing anything with them unless it's something for a swap soooooooo  time to do something about it!!

Below are some of my crochet bits and pieces, I made a 'New Year Resolution' to myself to learn a new craft and here's my achievements so far- the blanket is going to be a baby blanket, just treble crochet so quite easy. My work seems to go out of shape a bit....any advice on what to do would be gratefully received.

HAPPY STITCHING XX

wedding day

Well me and Richard surprised both our families by just telling them the week before March 23rd that we were getting married, we totally shocked them!!! It was the day we had all the snow. A lovely day with both lots of children and especially our Grand-children. x
