The Chocolate Shoppe SAL

I made a start on Little House Needleworks The Chocolate Shoppe yesterday afternoon but I didn't get much done! I must say though this cake looks good enough to eat! Yummy! I am stitching this using 35 count fabric over 2 as I want it to fit in a frame I bought especially for it so I hope it'll be OK when I've finished it! I wonder how Claire and Nicola got on?

I had another good night on Chatelaine Summer Afternoon so I think I might stitch some of the beads on this afternoon then do more actual stitching tonight. It's nice to see plenty of progress on something rather than not a lot when I stitch on a HAED for five evenings! LOL!


I decided this morning to go for a walk along on the seafront and then into town to get a birthday card and post that and another one. Well it was very bracing along the seafront as the wind is off the sea but it was nice. I don't mind walking when it's like this as long as I get wrapped up well. I am disappointed that the snow hasn't reached us and the weathermen don't seem to be able to decide if it will or not! It's looking very black outside at the moment and looks as though something is coming but I bet it'll be rain. I'm so sick of the dull, rainy days we've had this Winter so the gorgeous frosty mornings we've had all week have been a welcome sight. It looks like it's going to be rain all weekend and next week too. Typical when it's half term!


ETA What is it with Google Reader today? Everytime I open it up and click on one of the blog links it freezes up. Anybody else had this problem?

Hello Sally,

I love the Chocolate Shoppe. In fact, I now have an overwhelming urge to rush to Sainsburys before it closes, and buy myself the biggest chocolate cake I can find. Hmm, guess I'll have to make do with pringles & cheese and chive dip. Lol.
