Hi to the Holiday Makers!!

Welcome to New A Zealand!!

So far all quite here in NI. Hoping to go over and have lunch with Andrew this afternoon. Anne has taken Charlie out for a walk and I'm trying to get through 3 lots of ironing and tidying the back rooms in that time!! Geeking about on this is eating into that time a bit!!

Charlie doing well - no teeth yet but sleeping and eating great! Weather ok here a bit dull with light rain on and off but that's to get worse by the weekend!

Ask the New Zelanders if they're on Facebook cause I can search for them and keep in touch that way maybe!

Enjoy!! Chat soon!

Embroidery Hoop Picture

I thought that I would give an embroidery hoop picture a go. I checked out some of the groups on Flickr for simple ideas as I've never embroidered before and I got an A-Z of embroidery stitches out of the library!

I liked the way some people had used felt as well and thought that I would use some felt. (Check out my Favourites on Flickr)

I stitched on the wee house firt and then used the chain stitch to 'write' home. finally I added a few buttons. It's a wee bit skew wiff but I think that adds to it's charm!

Chuckling Charlie!

This is Charlie's first real laugh and I hope that you enjoy it as much as me!! By the end of the silliness he's not sure whether to laugh or cry! Please excuse the singing!!
