ok so... where do I begin *(cue music..lol)
the kettle has boiled and the cuppas are ready and we have some nice chocolate digestives to munch as well tonight :)
On the stitching front I have lots of little bits to show you ... stitching time has been drastically reduced due to the small bundle of fur ......I have to time it so I can get a few stitches in when Bentley is asleep or wait until reinforcements arrive in the evening ......
The IHSW flashed past like a blurr, but I managed to work on the Winter Band sampler by LHN ,the Ladybugs and bumble bees LHN, the Romantique sal by Angie , did some more on Kaths birthday stitch and frogged a lot too :( .... also did a wee bit on the Cottage SAL and also started the Band Sampler I have designed for my group the friendly stitchers ,as well as frame the "count your blessings " to match the others I did last year (the frames are from Wilkinsons)
I almost forgot, I received the Travelling Pattern from Gracie the other day ....."Thankful for Ewe" ... I have made a start on it after spending ages choosing the fabric and the floss guess what I opted for ....... 18 count rustic Aida !!!!
along with gast threads which off hand I can't remember ..lol ..... I shall do a post for it once finished, to chose the next person for it to travel too, so keep your eyes pealed :)
oooo on a good note my parcels have all arrived at their destinations so I can show you what I stitched for Peggy she showed photos on her blog and her face is a picture when she sees it ..lol .... I am pleased to report she loves it PHEW ..lol....
the other parcels. one was a RAK and the others were thank you's.. just for your info ...lol
I also remembered it was TUSAL day to day sooo I took a picture of my orts with my wee mouse from Fiona .... there does seem to be rather a lot in there ...lol
OOOOO am cream crackered ...lol just had to chase a wee black and white bundle around my small garden as he seems to think that eating every single leaf , stone and worm dust is fun .... If I haven't lost any weight next time I go hahahhaha
seriously though he is hard work when I have got him .... I mean we have to have a snuggle cuddle in the morning for a hour before I can get anything normal done around the mouse house ....lol followed by a play and then another nap etc etc etc ..lol
well I have made another drink for you all to slurp while you drool over the wee progress photos and my tusal etc ....

Beautiful stitching, I am loving your Winter Band Sampler and Romantique! Lovely framing!
what lovely stitching mouse you have been busy your Winter band is so pretty.
I love wee Bentley so cute.
A lot of starters there, very ambitious!! they look lovely:)love your winter band linen!
The little bird ornament is adorable as is your little pup, gorgeous!
Take care of yourself!:)
Wow... you have a lot of projects in the works. I love that little hedgehog.
I think your biggest project for the next few months with be Bentley. The puppy days go fast... enjoy them.
Ah! I think I just caught up with two cups of coffee now I need another one!! Heheh!! Lovely progress on all your WIPS. Love the mouse with the orts :D
Bentley is adorable. He looks like a springer more than a cocker though. I had a springer spaniel with similar markings. Soooo cute I just wanna squish him!!
Wonderful stitching progress! I love the hedgehog piece you are working. Happy Stitching!
Great progress on all your different pieces, the band sampler looks particularly pretty
Oh Bentley is such a sweet baby. I wouldn't mind cuddling with him. :) Though Rory might get a bit jealous. LOL As for the play times. Well, if Bentley has half the energy that my Rory has you WILL loose weight. I know I lost over 20 lbs the first year and no special dieting. Just good plain exercise. :)
No on to your stitching. Gorgeous. Just gorgeous. Love your framed Count you Blessings. And loving the wips. Especially the Winter Band Sampler.
Good luck with the bloodwork. I hope (and say a prayer) that everything comes back normal next time.
Now back to work for me. :)
Oh Mouse I love all your stitching so far - your needle is smokin.. too!
Ooh can I trouble you for the name of the chart you stitched for Peggy - it has a blue bird on and I love them xx
Looks like your needles were flying even with Bentley! He's adorable btw!
I saw Peggy's reaction to your present - priceless lol. Glad to hear your tests came back with normal iron levels. Hope the retest for the liver functions works out too!
Nothing better than smoke'n needles. All of your pieces are looking wonderful and Bentley is just adorable.
Be always in stitches

Bentley is getting so big! What a sweetie! I love seeing your progress on all your pieces. What a lot of finishes you're going to have soon!! Great work!!!
Wow, looks like you have lots on the go! Bentley is just the cutest
You've got those needles blazing, don't you? Darling finishes - and the framing, too. Looks like he's leaned back to have his ears shampooed. He's a real cutie!
Statins used to lower cholestrol levels raise my liver functions. You're not taking those are you? Take care!
Wow, everything is just gorgeous. Romantique is simply stunning... I love it! :)
Your stitching is gorgeous Mouse, as is Bentley. A lovely finish for Peggy.
Bentley is a cutie Mouse! Love those ears!

Great news on the blood levels but is the raised liver function something to worry about? :(
Love the progress on all of your projects, well done you on getting so much done with a wee bundle of fur, who is just to cute for words. I love the fabric your band sampler is stitched on, mind me asking what it is ?
Glad the bloods came back as normal and I do hope the raised liver functions are nothing to serious for you.
Lovely progress in your wip's. I like your ort gaurdian! Bentley is just cuddly looking..and those ears make me :)
I hope the raised liver function is not bad and that your future tests go well. Love all your stitching! So much eye candy! Nice orts too! :D And Bentley -- of course he needs all the attention he can get! He's a puppy! Sooooo cute too!

You have been busy stitching, Mouse. Lovely wips.
Romatique is stunning!! I have never seen it before and I feel in love. The purple on purple is unexpectedly perfect and has given me much needed inspiration for a project that is similar. Great post.
I haven't stitched in soooo long and that makes me soooo sad! Beautiful work my friend.
xoRebecca
