Some new finishes and almost finished...

I have just finished these two mug rugs. I am very happy with the way they have turned out.


This one will go on the front of a plastic bag holder that I will make from a T Towel.....


This is a sneak peek at the second last block in my Teddy Swag BOM that I am running on my blog with Jan Knight.... It will be posted later this week.


I am working on more stitcheries and will be back soon with more finishes...

Have Fun.....

Another new pattern.

So far I am still on track with my new year's resolutions. I am updating more often and writing patterns. I do not care that it is only day 4... it still counts...LOL

Later this morning I will draw new stitcheries to fabric and then this afternoon I will start stitching.

This is my latest pattern. It is called I love Raggedies.


E pattern is $7
Hard copy is $12    free postage.

Just e mail me if you would like to purchase either of the new patterns. My other new pattern is in the previous post.

Everyone loves Santa pics at Chrissy time... I am no exception... but I really do think I had the most gorgeous santa ever.......


Our Little Santa cut his first tooth on Christmas day and has since bitten both Mum and Dad.


This is how Poppy was woken up on Christmas morning. You can just see our little Santa's mind thinking where in hell is my one of these..???????


I love this pic of Xavier taken while we were at our daughter's for Christmas....


Well I am off to start to get the stitcheries onto fabric....
Have fun everyone........

Sorry I have been MIA for quite awhile.......

Many things have happened...... Hubby had a pre heart attack... just as darn scary as a full blown one I can tell you. One artery was blocked 95% and the second one was blocke 80%. He now has two stents in  and is on the mend. Though he isn't back to where he was before, but he will get there. We are going to exercise classes twice a week and do sessions at home on the other days. He has to go to Cardio Rehab so I tag along as well...... and I am starting to feel a lot better... so it is certainly doing me a lot of good. I can now lift the wheelchair into the back of the station wagon no worries... LOL

One of our daughters has had her baby .. a gorgeous baby boy named Xavier Vincent Clarke... Xavier weighed in at 7 lb 6 ozs  3355 grams... He as 50.5 cm long.

What do you all think.... This is Xavier at 4 days old.......
He is one gorgeous little man........
