Squeeeeeeeee!

Anuzzer finish très primitive de l’Atelier de Tante An. But it’s a finish, and that’s what counts

I know it’s probably a bit childish to post about this before the gift is even wrapped and on its way to the giftee, but a cross-stitch finish is such a rare occurrence in this household that I couldn’t help it.

Also, progress was made on With Thy Needle and Thread’s Birds of a Feather. To be honest with you, the red provided (WDW Indian Summer) didn’t suit my current taste - which tends more to the vintage-y, granny-y (there’s a surprise, right?) - so I changed it to GAST Pomegranate. I’m in love with this sampler.

The last couple of days have been so joyous! Yesterday, I spent some time with my old friends from primary school, which was such fun. Pelle was left in the care of his doting grandmother, and he actually spent the night there, so I. Could. Sleep. In. And I did... I’m ashamed to tell you for how long, but suffice it to say, I’m now quite well-rested, thank you very much :o)
Next week, Pelle will be staying over at his medical daycare centre for an entire night, so that his mama can do some more sleeping. I’m terrified on his behalf, and I’m sure I won’t sleep a wink that first time, but after having taken care of Pelle for nearly seven years, during the last three years non-stop and single-handedly, I really, really need some rest. Of course, me being who I am, I decided that Pelle needs something comforting to help him through that first night in a strange place, so I started a blanky.

This is such a quick little project that I’m sure it will be an okay size by Wednesday next week.

It’s Tuesday, but here’s a Bench Monday pic for you anyway. Just because it makes me happy.

Yours happily,
Annemarie.
