Blooming marvelous

I'm totally in love with all things floral, the dress i have on, floral,
The coffee mug I'm having hot chocolate out of, floral (it's a bit chilly for June here in Ole Blighty today, hence the hot chocolate and not ice cream in June)
It seems that there are never enough cushions with flowers on , and floral looks good on cakes too.
But I am espicially in love with the floral on my Nans cake plate, plus i'm sure it was her plate that made my home made baking skills look much better than they are <3 x x x

Reasons for not finishing Santa this year.

I never did get the Santa Cross stitch finished in time for Xmas last year. But i did manage to make lots of other things, to be honest i just kept getting distracted. I really should concentrate on one thing at a time, but I'm not sure i can do it. :)
Here are some of the things i did manage to get finished.

The bird was a little birthday gift for my lovely sister in law, the chart was from cross sticher magazine.

The monsters was also a chart from Cross stitcher magazine, and i decided to make the little matching softie to make a little birthday package for my Nephew. Who was seven just before Xmas.

The cushion was another birthday gift for my friend. I also made her the red one, which you can only see the corner of in this picture but i'm sure i have another pic of a cushion i made with this fabric on here some where. I have no idea why i didn't take more pics. Maybe i did take some and then deleted the others, because it's winter and my camera sucks so most of the pictures i take these days are just a little gloomy. And have to delete most of them.

I haven't updated in while but i hope to be updating more often again. <3

New cushions.

I made these cushions a few weeks ago. I fell in love with the fabric because it reminds me so much of Autumn. I think the red cushion is my fav, but i am quite surprised most people seem to like the leaf one the best.

I gave in to the Twilight craze that is sweeping the world, i bought the first three books last week. And i have to honestly say they are BrIlLiAnT! I find myself going to bed earlier and earlier each night so i can get enough reading time in :) I have no idea why, but i love reading in bed and if i try to read during the day i just can't keep my concentration, probably because my eyes wonder around and find things to do.
Is it sad or to geeky that i am planning our anniversary Night in November around the release of the New moon film?

Aarrr.

I think this has to be one of my favourite projects up to now. I saw the little Pirate cross stitch in cross stitcher magazine and knew it was destined to be a cushion.
I made this for my nephew for his birthday, i really did not want to give it away lol. I hope he likes it.

I think i will get some more pirate fabric and make him a kids size quilt for Xmas. Yes probably to early to be thinking of Xmas but i am so crap with deadlines i should probably start now :)
