Scruffy George


 I have finished another cross stitch hoop. The design is Scruffy George from The Little Stitchery, part of LOTV. He fits nicely into a 5" hoop.  I used similar colours to the pattern as I have so many threads already that it isn't worth buying the specific ones on the pattern. He was a joy to stitch. Because there was so much of one colour on his face it was easy to stitch that part whilst watching TV.  I love how the final backstitching really brought him to life.

Well what strange weather this week. Yesterday we woke up to a light dusting of snow, then the sun came out. Later on a few small snow showers, more sun and some hail.  At least the snow hasn't laid on the ground, just the rooftops and garden.

I managed to get us dental check ups for early May yesterday and we have back massages next Wednesday.  Graham has a haircut booked for Monday and I have mine booked for 27th April.  I will be so glad to get it cut and coloured.

He's adorable Marianne, and your stitching is fabulous.
I'm at the hairdressers tomorrow, can't wait.
Now sadly we don't have anyway of recording a TV program, our video machine doesn't record, and we don't have one of those TVs or packages that can record. My son has a sky thing that pauses and records, even live programmes and he doesn't miss any of the film, footy match, Formula one. Resisted them so far, take care, Kate x

Your stitching is just gorgeous Marianne. My Mum used to really enjoy doing these. Sounds like life is beginning to get back to normal for you all. We are still a bit behind yet. Take care out there.
