Howdy Folks

Hi all, I've been a bit out of it with blogging and just online stuff in general. I have been having problems with my wrist, neck and shoulder which has just completely knocked me out of sorts I am currently waiting for my appointment at the hospital which is on the 1st Nov I'm not going to bore everyone with the details but hopefully I can find out what is going on. I have now decided I am going to stop letting it get me down and pick myself up again. I have just spent 5 days in the Lake District and I am feeling a little refreshed, I mean just look at this picture how could this not cheer you up.



I have been stitching not as much as I would have liked but as the saying goes progress is progress. Here is what I have been working on the past few months while I have been away from the computer.

I joined the SK SAL on the Heaven and Earth Forum so I started that back in July I decided to stitch Masquerade, progress on this was very fast and I love stitching it



I have also been working on this for a girl I work with she has just been married in Italy and there was a field of Sunflowers near where she was getting married so I decided to stitch her a sampler with a Sunflower, however because of the problems with my wrist I am way behind on this one which I am very disappointed about, also because it is preventing me from stitching anything else until I get it finished. I worked on this one in the evenings while I was in the Lakes District (sorry about the fuzzy pics)

Lakes day 1



Lakes day 4



Well thats enough from me, thank you all for looking
