Well the real life crappola is still rolling on but I'm missing the old blogging.
Not only do I find it a lovely way of recording our daily family life (I often read back, what we were up to this time last year) I also find it a good way to accentuate the positives, which is a useful thing to do at the moment.
So here I am.
Although we had the lurgi over half term we had a really nice time as Mr Twigs lovely big Sister went away on holiday and offered to lend us her house (with cleaner!) so we had a nice time mooching and playing with all their gadgets !!
I'm glad to say apart from old man coughs we are all better now.
Anyhow, how are you? well I hope.
It is definitely feeling like Spring up here, the nights are drawing out and we've had some gorgeous warm, sunny days. (I welcome this but as you know I'm a big fan of Winter, but it's nice to be outside again).
Saying that though, it's been snowing and raining all day here, so we've had a cosy Sunday, very lovely indeed.
The big reveal is my finished sampler at the top of the page - do you like it ? it took me 11 months to complete and I must say I am very pleased with it!!
We had a little jaunt to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park recently - didn't stay long as it was v.v.v.cold.
Today we bathed the guinea pigs, they look so fluffy now !!
and finished off with a bit of art work.
Twiglet's space painting, mine is a painting of Spring - do you like the mucky Easter chick at the top :)
Have a great week.

Your cross stitch is amazing Twiggy there is a lot of work in that so there is no wonder it has taken a lot of hours to complete
ReplyDeleteSpring is certainly in the air although it has rained all day here and been cold. Hope your coughs are soon all better

ReplyDeleteLove your sampler!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sampler Twiggy! I know what you mean about life, but blogging is a good way of keeping a record of your better moments. Remember what was said in Kung Fu Panda - Yesterday is history, tomorrow is the future but today is a gift - that's why its called the present!

Bloody hell, that sampler is amazing! I am properly impressed and would be waving it under the noses of complete strangers on the bus if I had made it.
ReplyDeleteThe design looks familiar - is it from a Phoenix card? I'm sure I sent one very similar to a friend.
