First up, stitching. This has gone ok, not nearly as much as last week but still a noticeable change. Here is the wedding sampler last time...

These photos really don't do them justice, and the speed they arrived was fantastic considering they came from the other side of the world! I will definitely be shopping there again.
On Wednesday one of my best friends got a life changing phone, after months of trying she found out she has been accepted in to Brittania Royal Naval College to train to become an officer! I am so happy and proud of her, she has wanted it so long!
It is all very sudden, she finished work on Friday and leaves for Dartmouth a week tomorrow! It will take some adjusting, from seeing her at least once a week to only seeing her once every 10 weeks and I can't even begin to imagine what it must be like for her partner. But we are all very supportive of her and trying to keep her calm, as she is very nervous about leaving!
With this in mind I don't see much stitching getting done this week, it could be an emotional week ahead!

Great progress on your wedding sampler. Lovely new fabrics. Congrats to your friend.
ReplyDeleteThank you ! :)
DeleteHi Emma,
ReplyDeleteI loved the colours of the fabrics especially but the Oceans most!
You are getting quicker on the Wedding Sampler! You have made a great progress!
Well done!
Hugs
They are all beautiful, I have no idea what I will stitch on them yet...
DeleteThank you dear xxx
Beautiful stitching...lovely new fabric xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks Cucki :)
DeleteOh wow, congratulations to your friend! And you're making great progress on your stitching, it looks beautiful :D
ReplyDeleteWonderful news for your friend. I know you will miss her but time goes by so very fast. Maybe you can write her a letter (yes the old fashion way, not just email) during the time you would have gotten together with her. Mail for anyone away does the make them smile and its heartfelt by the sender and recipient. Lovely new fabrics - colors are gorgeous. Enjoying seeing your lovely stitching progress. Stitching has been extremely calming for me for not only when happy but in extreme sad times too. Hugs to you. love Annette
ReplyDeleteYes, I think I will leave it a couple of weeks before I write, I don't want to make her feel homesick when she is training, I have a couple of pen pals, it is always nice to receive a letter in the mail.
DeleteThank you, I am really enjoying stitching this :) xx
Congratulations to your friend - I hope it turns out to be everything she had hoped for.
ReplyDeleteGreat work on the wedding sampler which is really coming along now.
Thanks Linda! I think at the moment she is more scared, as it is all happening so fast.
DeleteThank you, I am really enjoying working on this at the moment.
