Show & Tell
With the exception of today, Melbourne put on a lovely show of weather this week. Yesterday afternoon, while Niamh was sleeping off a bad case of the grumpies (please let it be teething, oh please let it be teething - I can’t cope if she’s going into the tantrummy-twos already), Finn and I sat under this:
Finn (with liberal amounts of help) worked on this:
I worked on this:
(which incidentally I finished off tonight, but the photos I took were a bit on the crappy side, so I’ll have another try in some decent light over the weekend).
Later, I went along to this (you can spot me in one of the pics on the blog if you squint), and I stitched on this for a bit:
Fun fun. The design is an ‘06 Christmas freebie by Hillary Lang, and there is a matching boy-elf, so I’ll be stitching the pigeon pair to make up as Christmas gift bags for the kiddos. Cute, huh?
Have a great weekend - we’re off up north to celebrate Fathers’ Day with multiple fathers!

Stitching night sounds like a bunch of fun. I love the elf, very cute, great idea for Christmas gift bags.
Finn has been doing some great work. I’m very impressed.

Thanks so much for the support and comment. I really did find your post helpful. It is somehow reassuring to know I have company and others really can understand. :)
Hope you are on the healthy side of the two week cycle at the moment and that your Fathers’ day went well.
wishes xox
