BACK TO NORMALITY ....

Today was a 'normal' day and after the ups and downs of the last week it was very welcome!

I am pleased to say that the patient is doing well and under strict instructions is resting and doing as he is told!  Thank you to Deb for her good wishes yesterday, they were very much appreciated.

No time for cross stitching as yet but the guys are all watching footie tonight, DD is both blogging and facebooking so the study is mine for the night and the daylight lamp is ready for action.  Here are a couple of pics of previous projects that I thought I'd share with you, they live in the Kitchen and are always out on show ....

This is Archie Bear and is a regular in one of the UK's cross stitching magazines.
I stitched him in colours of my choice on natural 28count evenweave and made the finished design into a small bag.

'Cock a Doodle doo' is a Heart in Hand design called Wee Rooster.
He was stitched on 28count cream Monaco evenweave again in colours of my choice in both DMC and GAST.
I made the plate behind in our local Pottery Barn in matching colours.

Hopefully Noah's Ark will make a further appearance tomorrow night so until then Happy Stitching everyone ......

I'm glad that the patient is doing well! Your two stitcheries are so nice. I've never seen Archie Bear before - he reminds me of Winnie the Pooh. And I love Cock a Doodle Doo - that is the perfect piece to put in a kitchen.

These are both so cute I don't know which I like best! I do love the pudgy little tummy on the first one!

So glad to hear your father is improving, Jane--that must have been very stressful on all...

Love your cute little stitchings, especially the chubby little bear :)

Hi, Jane! Thanks for stopping by. What cute projects--beautifully stitched. I'd have done each if I'd seen them! And Buttons is a cutie as well. I'm adding you to my blog reader, and I'm looking forward to reading more about your projects!
