I missed a week, sorry xx

 Hi

Somehow I forgot to post last week, so sorry, the weeks seem to run into each other and nothing exciting happens !! However, the sun is shinning today and its a little warmer.

Last weekend we took the camper out for a run simply to charge up the batteries a little, she was hesitant to start but the battery charger soon helped. We still have our Christmas reservation but its looking more than likely that we will cancel it.

Hubby is still checking the Facebook market place for himself pretty much daily and on Saturday he asked me if I wanted an embroidery kit of Lancaster. Curious as to why He thought I would want a kit of somewhere I've never been to I went over and had a look at the screen.

I'd misheard. It was a counted tapestry kit of a Lancaster aircraft.

To be honest, I've not come across a counted tapestry before but assume its pretty much the same as a counted cross stitch. The seller contacted me after I'd bought it to apologize as her husband was supposed to mention that is smelt a bit musty and offered me my money back. To be honest, it would cost me more to return it, I put the yarn on the radiator over night and I've spread the paperwork out in the sun in the spare room. I just need to find a bag to keep it in rather than the plastic one.

 I'm still spinning up the oddments of fleece, four skeins finished now and another bobbin on the go.

The small blackwork picture is finished, I am looking out for a frame for it and I have started another one just to keep my fingers busy in the evenings.

This is the 2017 Stitch a long from Blackwork Journey, yep, I'm a little out of date but I quite liked it when I was pottering around looking for patterns.

I'm still slowly working on the hat, It is for me so I'm trying to accommodate my pony tail and hair plaited up days so need to make it a bit bigger than my normal beanie.

I'm also working on sorting out my embroidery thread, I have so, so many tucked away in plastic bags as you may have seen a couple of posts ago. This is as ongoing project /chore !!

These are maybe half of them.

That's about it for now, will speak next week :-)  xx
