Another month another tusal :)

Hi every one :) hope you are all enjoying the lovely weather we seem to be having at the moment ... sunshine followed by thunderstorms etc etc etc ...lol
Well the kettle is on as always and there are some goodies for you too .... oooo I do spoil you hehehehe ....
Its that time of the month again ... yup TUSAL .... and I hope I have the right day ...lol 
well apart from the  *w* word ...I have to go to pay for the stash addiction ...lol  I have been busy trying to put the needle to fabric and floss each night for at least a couple of hours :) I  finished the wee giftie to Peggy  which hopefully won't be long until it gets to her side of the pond :) I've worked on the Needleworker by LHN , done a wee bit more on Curly Q by LHN started one of the ABCD's by La D Da ... I couldn't make up my mind heheheh ... so I doing the peachy pinky Sparklies FOM fabric with the Highland Garden Gloriana silk thread  and then I will be stitching on the Glacier(blue) Sparklies  fabric with the blue silk Gloriana thread ... which for the life of me I can't find at the moment due to the fact that yesterday I was visited by a wee sparrow in my craft room and it took quite a while and a lot of moving of stuff to get the wee thing out .... needless to say I gave it a bit of a  spruce up while I was shifting stuff ...lol .
 Framed up Ladybugs ... well actually it is plonked in there to see if it would fit and whether I would like it in there .... and after looking at it for a few days I think it has grown on me ...lol
On Sunday morning Master Bentley and I along with the wee meecies Tea and Crumpet went on an adventure to France's house at Holmfirth (Last of the Summer Wine Country) to go and pick up the next batch of RR's I need to work on ... and I think I shall have some fun with these trying to decide which bit I am going to stitch :) We spent most of the day there and Bentley loved playing in the garden with the ball running up and down , Frances was a very willing play friend ... while I took photos ..lol  she is growing some lovely flowers and some pumpkins too which I think are taking over ...  I finally managed to give her the ornie I stitched for her waaaaayyy back for the Christmas in July challenge and she loves it PHEW !!! so now I can finally show you too ....
We have some new additions to the mouse house again ... two little guinea pigs which belong to DD1 their names are Catniss and kalecee (think that's how you spell them ??) they are lovely wee girls and adore Bentley too ... he has to go and say hello every day to them and the little grey one comes up to the cage bars and gives him a snuzzle ... 
Hmmmmm I went to my friends on Saturday night and while we were chatting over the cuppa's she had on in the back ground the lost island (jurassic park) film on ....  just remind me not to watch any more tv will you ...lol .... on Sunday morning before going to Holmfirth Master Bentley and I went for our normal pootle in the woods .... we got to the area where we normally see the wood pecker when it all went quiet ... so quiet ... not a bird tweet , chirp or anything , the wind had died down and it was still for about 5 mins then all of a sudden the ferns started to move ..... well all I can say is I moved as fast as my wee legs and my stick could get me out of that bit .... muttering I am having a day mare , this can't be happening ..lol and do you know what .... there was nothing there PHEW !!!!!!! but it was really eerie to say the least ...
Ok think its about time for another cuppa after that .... and the photos ... and Gillie no matter how hard I try I can't get them to be near the text .... sorry ...

Finally something to show you ..lol

Hi every one :) the kettle has just boiled and I'm taking orders now heheheh ... think you might need one today ....
I have finally got some stitching to show you whoop whoop ... Master Bentley has also posed for you ... he was really impressed that you had missed him and he agreed to have some photos taken just for you all ;0
I got my first wage last week and I splashed out on some trims from Nancy's Victorian Motte Sampler Shop and I am eagerly awaiting their arrival :) 
I also won a chart on the bay of evil Acorn Sampler by With my Needle and I splashed out on Strawberrry Sampler by Heartstringsamplery which I have wanted since she released it earlier this year and now I haves it heheheheh .... her links to the shop etc and how to get her yummies are on her blog :)


While having a clean out in the garage DH came across something I had forgotten I had got ... sooo I took a photo and see if you can think what it is :) may even be a small prize heheheh 
Soooo what have I been up to ..... well apart from work work and more work ..lol I entered the Christmas/Winter in July Challenge over on Friendly Stitchers  I oorginally put down for three ornaments but that was before I got the job ...lol I did well I managed..... two..... hehehe and the third is in the wings waiting to be started .... Jillann has let me know that hers has arrived so I can finally show you ... I did Red House in Winter by LHN  twice heheheh .. its one I wanted to do for myself and thought well everything was there I would do it for her as well :) the third one when I do it will be peace by LHN (I stitched it for a rak earlier on this year too )
Last night I managed to finish finish my red house and also my busy needles into wee cushions  .... ... it was soooo nice to see something stitched and finished at long last .....
I have worked on a wee bit more of Dawn of Spring but it isn't released until next week so I can't show you just yet .... and Thursday it was stitching at Bev's and I managed to get some more done on Pumpkin Cottage .. it was the first time I had put needle and thread together in 5 days ...... *sigh this working lark sure does eat into your stitching time ...lol .... on the plus side I can now afford some stash goodies and go to Harrogate for definite hehehe....
I really need to hire someone to clean my house, do the washing and cooking too ... any volunteers ????  no I didn't think soo hahahahahah 


I have been trying to sneak visits to you all and leaving a comment as much as I can but usually by the time I get time for the computer I am falling as sleep ... Last week was hermitting weekend as you all know and I did stitch and finish that ornament for me ... but half way into the afternoon I took a mouse nap in my chair both days .... one minute I was stitching the next minute I woke up a few hours later  with my needle stuck ready for the next stitch !!!!!
hopefully today I will manage to stay awake long enough to get something done  ..lol
