Stalking the postie and other tall stories :)

My blog win goodies :)

HI Everyone :) question of the week ... can a stitcher get done for stalking the postie ?????  seriously I got confirmation that my order from 123stitch .com was shipped out a week last Tuesday to the mouse house and I figured that a week and a bit would get it to me ... Tuesday came and went , Wednesday too... Thursday I was getting really worried and moaned to my stitcher friends who came over (more on that later ) and Friday  .. well lets say Friday was a BRILLLLLL day as my goodies arrived YEAHHHHH :)
still drooling over them and deciding which to put on my must do first pile :) thank you very much Peggy :) ... 
my postie is relieved too hahahahah ... good job I've know him for 12 + years heheheh 
so what have I been up to this week I hear you ask .... well grab your cuppa and a biscuit or two as here goes :)

Mary Wigham update 

As you may well remember  DD2 and BF had been looking for a new place to live and thankfully we have found a lovely two up two down house with a small garden in town so they can easily get to their respective jobs etc ..... so my days have been spent sorting stuff out .. going shopping with DD for all new house stuff as the house before had everything in it ... and trying to clean and sort new house out as well as waiting in for plumbers and joiners who have yet to materialise with the said stuff for the jobs to be done !!! enough said on that *sigh .. I did think on and took some stitching with me and managed to do a wee bit on Mary Wigham while I had the chance ..lol 

I finally managed to post my summer biscornu to kate  on Wednesday and she has received it and loves it phew ..lol so I can now show you piccies of it :) It is a freebie from http://sablaise.over-blog.com/  and it was really quick to stitch up too :0.... Kate is in the process of doing mine so I will show you as soon as it turns up .. her mum is unwell at the moment and she is rather busy with everything soo I am happy to wait honest ..lol :)
Thursday and Friday this week passed with lots in to do with the house but I have to announce that DD1 is now the proud owner of a red rover 25 with the apt name of wait for it.... "Dracula" ....  my car is now the mouse mobile ..lol .... the new car is being driven at every opportunity and DH has been out and about in it with her,giving motorway lessons and general take me here for this and that ..lol ... It is really nice for her to be out and about under her own steam and now we have a taxi for those nights out heheheheh.

see how much i got stitched !!!

Thursday night I had the stitcher's group at the mouse house and we had such a laugh and talked till the cows came home , drank lots of tea and they got to see the mouse 's stitch room and I warned them I would have to frisk them before they left ahahahahah  .. I did  manage to get a wee bit of stitching done ... Fa on the fa la la ornament ..lol  ooooo and we got to see two hedgehogs that night as we were saying goodbye .. Chris was sooo impressed to see them:)


Saturday was spent at the new house delivering the furniture and other bits and bobs from the mouse house and sorting  stuff out  and we had a rare night with all of us eating a well deserved Indian ....checking out the new local takeaways ..lol and it was very yummy toooo 

you really didn't think I would show you ..lol

Soooo that finally brings us to today :) and do you know what I did ??????  apart from putting the kettle on of course heheheh .. yup you guessed it stitched .. and I worked all day on the Stitch bitch challenge competition piece sooooo do you want to see what I've been stitching then ???? heheheh .. those are my initials  ..lol

think this is the cockerel first born

After my tea I did a wee bit on the first of the twin samplers and that's what I am going to concentrate on this week.... I have decided what I am going to stitch for my private exchange with Angela  and will be bobbing into town tomorrow to get a few threads I haven't got to get it started :)
are you still with me ????  not much more to show and tell now ..lol .... 

little silkie and best friend

the wee birdies are just over a month and exactly a month old today  and are doing fine .. they love being outside just not the going ..lol you ought to hear their cries when we take one of them out of the cage till they are all together  so here are some photos from today :)
well that's my week in a nut shell .... Thea from the Victoria Sampler group fame was asking if I was anywhere near finishing to start something new from her charts and I am pleased to say YESSS ..lol I was thinking of starting the winter box as soon as I have got the fabric and threads together ... just need to find them amongst the stash I've got :) and I was thinking of may be starting the Heirloom Christmas sampler but that will depend on whether I have a piece of fabric big enough as that may have to wait until November when I got to Harrogate :)
ok I think that is all my news for now .... if I think of anything else will add to it next week ... the kettle has gone on again as it is time for my bedtime cuppa :) so I shall say good night one and all :0 take care and happy stitching :) love mouse xxxxx
