Where's Wally... and other successes...

Well, can you spot him? 

He loved his outfit, wore it until bedtime, and I obviously thought he looked the best - we even spotted a Wenda in another class!  It is going to fit him for years!

Last night I finished the 'H' - looking good eh!

I think I am going to work the bottom rows as I move along, as I don't want to be left with days of straight stitching to do after I have completed the 'G'.

Then this afternoon I got the samples stitched and stapled to the canvases, with the minimum of re-stapling and fuss!  The panel now resides on top of our bedroom chest of drawers until we sort fixing it to the wall... photos will follow, but for now, the sunshine was too lovely to miss.

And just so they don't feel missed out - the girls made a Belle and Rapunzel...

A bit of this, and a bit of that...

It feels like I have had a bit of a disjointed day. 

Disappointingly the Where's Wally hat and glasses I ordered have not arrived in time - so I have made a bobble and put some red wool round one of my hats and hopefully that will do the job tomorrow; a pair of Dr Who/David Tennant plastic specs will look just as daft!

I have re-laid out and cut all the fabric squares for the bedroom 'picture'; hopefully I will have the time to sew tomorrow.

Poor son fell over on the walk home from school and cut under his nose, so I did my best with some Savlon and a piece of kitchen roll, but he wasn't happy.  Then the pair of us endured enjoyed about 3/4 hour of the twins 'performing' some Christmas songs and ballet, both dressed as Tinkerbell.


I now have a pile of new magasines to peruse, and I want to get that 'H' finished this evening... wish me luck.

Second thoughts...

What a grey old day, however we have 'lofted', tidied, cleaned and I spent the afternoon with one eye on the Hug, and the other on Up, except of course when I was shedding the odd tear!

Having slept on the Echino possibility, we have decided that the colours were just a bit too bold, and simply don't go with the bedding that we currently own and love!

So back to almost square one, and my quilting roots of freebies, hence an idea to use some of those recent samples and maybe I have just ordered a few more, and maybe I might have to make another 'selection' in a week or so!

I have stapled the four canvases together in anticipation, and will now sit back and wait for the postman!
