Well the good news is tomorrow the 16th of June we will finally own the new house after much problems with the mortgage company not communicating with its staff !!! we finally got the monies at the Solicitors Friday afternoon soooo a wee bit later than we expected we pick the keys up but WAHHHH HOOOOO ... I can start to get ideas for my new craft room in place for when we begin to make it to our tastes :)
I put all the names into a tub who wanted the Travelling Pattern and got my DD1 to pick one out and she chose Dani :) can you email me your snail mail address so that I can get it into the post for you by the weekend ... I can only get to the post office now once a week with me working full time ...
This last weekend I have been tres busy with the sweetie shop as DH and future SIL have been down on the Isle of Wight doing the fire cover for the stars helicopters so there has only been a wee bit of stitching managed ....Chris came to help us out and she did manage to get a bit more done on her piece than I did ...lol
Any hooo .... I have almost finished the May Country Cottage Samplings chart and I have got the February one to Kit up ... so pleased with my progress , I have also been working on a tapestry for one of my service users who can't stitch on it any more sooo I have got over half of it done for her just doing an hour here and an hour there ... it is soooo different from the normal stitching but at the same time quite relaxing too :)
Last week it was MiiStitch's birthday and I stitched her a wee pincushion from La d da its better to give than receive and she loved it PHEW .... I was also going to do the same piece for Butterfly but decided to send her some lovely coordinating trims for her birthday and had to giggle as Sally had stitched her the same one .... great minds and all that ...lol
We have been having some horrendous down pour this last week and there has been lots of local flooding in the space of five mins .... it has been warm with it as well we could have had a shower outside ...lol ... I have managed to get some flower photos and you can see the drizzle drops on them if you look closely :)
I will bob the kettle on again for a quick drink before bed .... while I get the photos on for you :)

Good news with the house...love the pincushion.
Congratulations on your new home! As much as I dislike moving, it's always an exciting time.
Congratulations!! Can't wait to see pictures of your new house once you've settled in!! Amazing stitching (as always) and love the finish!! You take the most amazing pictures!! I hope you find some down time soon to get a little time to yourself. Being that busy can get old quickly! *Hugs* *waving to Bentley*
How wonderful a new house, and we will all want to see your new craft room when its ready .
Love your stitching and photos of flowers.
Thanks for my lovely gifts.
Please give Bentley a big hug he looks so beautiful .
Have a good week.
Congratulations on your new house!
Lovely stitching
Great catch up post love your finished. Now then re: watermarks I am definately not the best person to ask - I'm not sure how Janine created the watermark - but it was done on Craft artist 2 which you can get for free from Daisytrail - if you google it it should come up - there is also an upgrade for £24.99 but dont buy it as the free one is quite comprehensive and it is quite often on offer at £4.99. Hope that helps (a little :-( )
Good luck in your new home!
I love the little pincushion you stitched and how kind you are to finish off the tapestry.

Super little pillow you stitched and made, the little bow sets it off beautifully.
Congratulations on the new home! :-) I look forward to seeing your new craft room. Your stitching is lovely! We have been having horrific rain too! I got stuck out in it the other day and it terrifying! :-) I hope you have a great week!
