Yesterday I made great progress with my 3 WIPs. In the afternoon I spent an hour each on the needlebook and the Fizzy Moon card. Then in the evening when the kids had gone to bed I spent 2 and half hours on the tiger. I love the weekends when I get to spend lots of time sewing, my DH is at home so he takes a bit of the housework off me so I have more free time. Today I have got to go to my local sewing shop to see if they have DMC 310 in stock, I've been in there every weekend for the past month now and they haven't had any in but I'm in desperate need for it to carry on with the tiger.
I hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekends and I will get some updated pictures up soon. xx

A Black Cloud
A black cloud has appeared over us in more than one way. Today it looks like we are loosing the unseasonably warm weather, it's cloudy and it is set to get cooler over the weekend and next week, just in time for the kids half term holidays.
The other black cloud is my daughter was bitten by a dog on Wednesday evening. We live in a small village in the Cotswolds and she went to the park with her friends after school for an hour and on her way back home she was passing a house that has a Great Dane as it's guard dog and the dog jumped over the wall and grabbed her hand in his mouth. She managed to pull away and run home but she was covered in blood and we had to take her to A&E. I went round to speak to the owners and they promised that they would keep the dog away from that part of their property so it can't get over the wall but they haven't. The police spoke to them last night and I just walked past there and it's still there. The house is opposite the primary school and I am worried that someone is going to come off a lot worse than Lily did.
I am so angry with them for not keeping this dog in their property, fair enough that they need a guard dog but it should not be allowed to get at the public. They are rich and think that they are above everyone else but if it was the other way around and my dog had bitten one of their children I am sure I would have been banged up by now!
Sorry that this is such a gloomy blog but I just needed to get it out there.
Take care everyone xxx

Work in Progress
So what can I say? I love Cross Stitch, if I could sit and do it all day then I would but unfortunately I don't have time so I try to settle down in the evening once the kids are in bed, for an hour or two. My family aren't demanding of me and they all help out around the house but I am also running a business so I don't get a lot of spare time to myself. I have a project on the go at the moment that I am about two thirds through. It is of a tiger lying on a tree.
