#9 Sea Babies

I know, I know...I went AWOL for a few weeks - sorry!

I wish I could say it was because I was so wrapped up in cross stitching I didn't want to stop, but alas, no.

Instead I have been spending a small fortune on boring things. Firstly, our dryer broke, which under normal circumstances wouldn't be an issue mid summer but with the weather we have been having I have missed having one dearly.

THEN my dishwasher leaked and flooded the kitchen. Despite our best efforts in the end the carpet had to be ripped up. So a few hundred pounds later I have a new dryer and dishwasher and a bare floor in the kitchen area :( When we will get round to decorating I have no idea, so it has been somewhat of a nightmare here the last week or so.

On to stitching!

My progress has been rather slow on the whale, no idea why, I guess I just lost my bug for a little while. But today I'm glad to say all the cross stitch is finished! Hooray!

Next up will be the fourth and final square I am doing for this quilt and will be a little crab - hopefully this one will progress quicker than the last.

Also, I finally gave the wedding sampler to the happy couple, we went for a night of cocktails. It was lovely to see them again talking about our school days and talking about house plans for them and planning a trip to Florida in 2021 - apparently the 50th anniversary of the park opening or something so it has to be done - I think even for me nine years is enough time to plan and save!

I have next week off work. YAY! Sadly, I suspect not so much stitching will get done. I am decorating one of our spare bedrooms and turning it in to a computer/craft room. Or as me and the other half call it our Geek Room.
