I have been doing a bit of frogging this week! I sat down eagerly anticipating a good evening's stitching with Barb ( oh how I wish) on Monday evening on Faith. Everything was going swimmingly until I suddenly realised my sheep was in the wrong place. Why? How could this have happened. Simple. I had too much grass which meant if I left it my border would not go right. So lots of unpicking happened. Poor sheepie had to run away to pastures new until the grass grows again. Poor sheepie hasn't returned yet :(. I had high hopes of getting this finished tomorrow evening. Not a hope in hell now! Lol! Sorry Barb I will give it my best shot!
Last Sunday I was very naughty. I fancied a new start so I had one. This is Cottage Garden Samplings January's Snowflake from the My Garden Journal series. I'm stitching each one on 40 count Pearl Grey Newcastle linen. Yep 40 count. I think I've taken leave of my senses.
Tuesday at craft group I continued with my ornament for September. I'm loving the colours in this one.
A little bit of progress this week on my robin. Hopefully I'll be able to go back to two evenings a week on this soon.
Finally some of the border on Curly Q Ewe which is my SAL with Lainey and Mouse.
Last Thursday was the year 13 celebrations evening which Abi did not want to go to but I received a phone call from one the deputy heads who organises the evening asking if we would go as Abi was going to receive two awards. I persuaded her to go and off we went for a very proud parents moment. She received awards for Art and Photography and here are some photos.
Abi with Mr Dawson, one of her IT teachers.
Finally more photos using my new camera. I will admit that my DH set the shutter speed and aperture for the moon shot for me. I asked him to help me as it's all double Dutch to me at the moment!
The Moon.
Playing with scene modes. One taken in through glass mode and one in sunset mode.
Thank you all for continuing to visit me and for leaving such lovely comments. They mean so much.
With much love.

Oh dear, I have a frogging problem too, drat it! Well done to Abi. I have that country Garden chart, might start them month by month next year. Love the photographs, I am thinking about using the WT's old camera but my point and shoot is SO easy and I have some pretty good pictures with it.

Wonderful stitching progress and beautiful photos! Congratulations to Abi!!
Lovely photos of Abi, congratulations to her.
Your stitching looks great, how annoying about your sheep!
Oh dear I hope the gremlins about sheep and grass have not been caught from me. I expect the sheep will be just around a corner and it will reappear very soon when there is some nice new grass to munch,. Gosh Abis' hair has grown. Well done again to her. OOh love the pics of the clouds really atmospheric. Speak soon Sally.
Congrats to Abi! We all frog occasionally, I usually do it with chocolate nearby to keep me sane.
Sally,
Thanks for being my friend on FB! I don't have many. I like to keep things family and "special" friends.
Sorry about the frogging and do hope the sheep reappears soon.
Everyone is doing new starts. I love your start so far. It must be something in the air. I've been wanting to do a new start and will shortly.
Those are some nice colors on that ornament.
Your robin is coming along nicely.
I'm loving your Curly Q Ewe. I have mine waiting for me to stitch it someday. I love this one because when I was little my nickname was Curly to my family.
Big congratulations to Abi. Job well done. You must be so proud as parents!
You take beautiful pictures. My husband is the one who controls the buttons I can not. I don't have the patience.
Have a wonderful week!
Congrats to Abi on her awards. Lovely stitching Sally. Sorry about the frogging. Gorgeous pictures with your new camera.
40 count? Even the thought of that gives me a headache!
At least your realised your mistake (trying to see the positive side!)
Congratulations to Abi and beautiful pictures. So sorry about the frogging though!
Hope the sheep re-appears soon. Huge congratulations to Abi on her awards. Photographs are great.

Hope the frog goes away and the sheep comes back. Congratulations to Abbi on her two awards. Love the photos you're taking with your new camera, especially the moon! Your stitching is lovely, too!
Naughty sheep they do this to me all the time I think they have a mind of their own ! Congats to Abi.
Love all your beautiful stitching, and your photos.
Aww... Poor, poor sheepie. I hope it returns soon. You've done good work on your new start and other WiPs though :)
Congratulations to Abi. You must be so proud.
Love that moon shot. It's great! Those cloudy skies are very dramatic too.
Hugs,
Veronica.
Congratulations to Abu on her awards!
Your wips are looking lovely, sorry to hear you've had a visit from the frog :( Great new start.
It appears that Abi has inherited her mom's creative talents, Sally!! Congratulations to her... and your stitching is wonderful. Don't worry, you'll get that sheep back in place soon :)
Congrats to Abi for winning her awards! Such great photos of her and her teachers! I hope that the sheep comes back into the picture, minus the frogs!! Lovely progress Sally!!
Congrats to Abi. I hope your sheep comes home on lol.
40 count you must be completely bonkers Sally, I couldn't even see that never mind stitch on it - having said that it will look stunning when its done, I think the finer the count the better they look but alas 32 is the least I can cope with these days.
