Quiet Weekend

Here in the UK most of us enjoyed an extra day off thanks to the bank holiday, my only complaint is we don't have another now until Christmas!

But I made the most of it, other half was away all weekend so I stitched, shopped and did whatever I wanted all weekend, it made a nice change but I did miss him, the house seemed very empty.

After finishing the wedding gift (thank you for all the nice comments!) I started on something new. I know I probably shouldn't have done but its not a particularly big project so should be done soon enough.

This is a free pattern I found here and knew it would look great in our geek room.

Another benefit of the bank holiday was all the sales going on! I ordered lots fabric from My Fabric House and today they arrived! There was also a note in there explaining because I am a loyal customer I now get 5% off every purchase I make, how generous...just means more shopping :D

This weekend also happened to be mine and the other half anniversary (well, technically it is today, but we always just say the August bank holiday weekend) These were waiting for me when I woke up on Saturday :)

Hope you all have a great week

Wedding Sampler - Done!

Yippee! Get those dancing shoes on and ready for a happy dance!

The wedding sampler is now complete! Hooray!

Wedding Sampler - Complete 20-08-2013

I am so please with the final look of the piece, but oh my that back stitching took FOREVER! But I can totally understand why, it makes such a huge difference to the final look.

So off I scurried to get a frame, I knew I wanted something simple and I found the perfect one almost immediately, I am so happy :D

Finished! :D

So now it waits, with over a month to spare until the wedding...

So what next? Well I have no idea to be honest...several things started to call my name as I was coming to the end of stitching this, so I guess it will just be a case of what I get my hands on first hehe :D

Other half is away at a geek convention tomorrow until Monday AND its a bank holiday, the only plans I have is going to my friends on Saturday so other than that I think it will be stitch stitch stitch, sounds perfect! :)
