Yahoo Julie!!!!

Just a quick-ish post today as I have the leftovers of a mild migraine that started with the old flashing in my left eye yesterday morning. I needed to go out and do some grocery shopping for my Dad and also needed a few bits for myself and by the time I got to the local Co-op I only had about 50% in my left eye so I dashed round there, took my Dad his stuff, came home and laid on the settee for the rest of the day.

Now Julie was very excited that Helen and I were back to Just Nan Queen of the Needle so just for her here is my WIP pic from Monday night! Lol! I got most of the band done but except for the over one ladybirds which I should get done next week as there's only two of them. I'm hoping to have this piece finished in a few weeks then I will move onto something else on a Monday:) I will miss Queen though as it has been a pleasure to stitch and it's always nice to have someone stitching along with you.

Tuesday was Sea Stars with Karen and I am still slugging away at the ship's wheel! Lol! Finger's crossed I will get that finished next week and be able to move onto a motif. Having said that the ship's wheel does look good with the octopus draped over it! Karen have you managed any this week?

So with the migraine yesterday I haven't touched Chatelaine Spring Morning as yet and don't think I will today either. I will see how I feel later on today and decide what to do. I may just do something I don't need to think about too much!

I have a confession to make! I finally caved and ordered Bygone Stitches A Quaker Christmas:) Yes naughty I know but I could not resist any longer. Jayne kindly sent me a few Carrie's Creations so that I could see some of the colours up close and I have chosen Frosty Pine, Old World Red and Antique Gold. I was going to have the green as my main colour but then decided, as I'm not particularly fond of a lot of green, to go with the red as the main colour. I still need to sort some fabric and after much deliberation I have decided to go with a plain colour as opposed to a hand dyed. It's fine looking at them on a computer screen and thinking they'll be just what you want then find when they arrive they don't go at all. One of the disadvantages of not being able to go to a LNS and actually see the fabric first hand.

Hope everyone if having a good week. Stay safe ( again) in these high winds that are forecast here in the UK.

Hugs
