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!
Good morning – it was lovely to meet you on Thursday night. Mikes is fun – I hope to see you there again.
Hello Mel,
It was nice to meet you at stitching night!
Hope to see you again!
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.
Great progress on the stitching – Finn’s work is very sweet. I love the pictures from Mike’s
I love your stitching and Finn’s. The little elf is really cute!
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
