Secondly, Katherine from http://katherinescreations.blogspot.com/ has listed me as one of her 7 blogs, so a big thank you :). Now to pass the mantle on, (and some of these Katherine has listed, but here are my favourite 7 and in no particular order) and most of these blogs I read without being a follower.

The 3 cross stitches above were done some years ago for my late mother in law. I decided not to hang them in their frames (3 holes in the wall), but opted to put them into a quilted panel & hang from the curtain rail on my sewing room wall (no holes required in the wall). (I've had a curtain rail put on the wall to hang small projects such as this, with a pocket at the back of them & then I can change them easily if I want to. I borrowed this idea from someone else, so cannot take credit for it).

Another little baby jacket - this time I quite like this little pattern and would probably do it again (and no I didn't read it beforehand again either lol). I did add some colour to the ends of the cuffs, bottom & neck as it was so very stark. Another one for the stockpile.
And finally, I got back to the family tree cross stitch. Not worth a photo yet, but next post I will include one. I seem to have found the enthusiasm to pick it up again & continue.
To finish off, Vale Elizabeth Taylor. A huge screen presence & campaigner, who I'm sure will be missed.
Have a great week where ever you are......:)
