Hello Again.....I'm back!!!
Oh my goodness, I am so sorry I've been away from blogger since September, but my time has been taken up by my little Miss Holly, who is now 4 months old and teething like crazy.
Not much stitching has been done since my last update as my little bundle has demanded all of my attention. I did however have my first proper stitching session tonight, a full 3 hours and 15 minutes (Miss H was asleep).
I noticed that I have been given an award, so I will sort out that hopefully on Monday when I can get to a proper computer.
For now though, here is my update on Charlie Bear, who as you know is being done as a SAL with my bestie Heather from Heather's Stitching Story.
I do hope this post goes alright as it's the first time I've ever posted from the blogger app on my iPad lol.
Well, until I can get to a computer, I will hopefully be able to sort this award thingy out.
Hope you all keep safe and warm wherever you may be.

A month since I last posted, Oh my (a few pictures)
Wow! I cannot believe it has been just over a month since I last posted.
As you will remember from my last post, I was due to go into hospital for a planned c-section on 29th August. Well, that didn't happen due to the baby wanting to arrive the night before - typical. I still had my planned c-section as it became a slight emergency too and baby Holly was born at 22.19 on 28th August weighing 5lb 13 1/2 ounces. Here she is when she was first born:
and at 3 weeks old and now weighing 7lb 4oz:
As you can imagine, not a lot of stitching has been done as she likes to spend her time feeding and dirtying nappies, but I have done a few stitches.
I've been working on a little christmas stitch from the free book the came with the latest issue of Crazy.
I'm also a few days late in posting my TUSAL, so here that is too :)
Hopefully the next update won't be so long away :)
Hope everyone is well and that you are crafting away :)

A rather large update for you all
Well, as it has been a little while since I last posted, this post is going to be a rather largish one.
I have to say I haven't managed a great deal of stitching since my last update due to me trying to get everything organised ready for the arrival of the baby who is going to arrive within the next 10 days....eeek. I have to say though that I cannot wait until she is here even if it is so I can get comfy.
Now for my stitching updates. I've decided to rotate the projects that I have on the go, otherwise I've found I'm getting myself in a right mess with projects all over the place.
First up is my Moon Goddess HAED. I'm so close to finishing page 2 of 36 pages, and as you will see in the bottom right hand corner, I've made a start on her hair so it won't be long until her head starts to take shape.
Here she is before I started working on her:
and here is how she is now:
Another project I've been working on is the Charlie Bear Alphabet Sampler. Due to my course starting back in February and lots of other things in between, myself and Heather put Charlie away.
and here is how he is now:
For this week, I'm going to be working on my 12 days of Christmas by Joan Elliott. I was hoping to have it finished in time for this Christmas, but with the new baby due any time now I very much doubt that will happen. Just to remind you all, this is how it looks as of right now before I start on it again this afternoon.
And last but not least, my August TUSAL report. There is very little in the jar this month, but I'm hoping that once I start stitching the above project, it will soon fill up.
That is all I have for updates for now, but I'm hoping to have a new update for you all shortly.
