so here they are all mounted.



I would have preferred black ribbon but I didn't have any and this project was about using what I had in my crafting basket.

My new project- Janlynn, "The Old Map" https://i.postimg.cc/CK0QLLs0/Janlynn-Ancient-Map.jpg Roughly 50x40cm. 44 colours. No blends, but a few hectars of my "beloved" backstitch which here is a must and I will be doing it as I go. This is an amazing design and a great start. I k...

I need to finish Beguiling Tiger -

so this little cutie is finished. I noticed once I had stitched it that it seemed out of balance so with the help of some squared paper I was able to add another flower which makes it look balanced and even cuter in my opinion.

:applesauce: :applesauce: :applesauce: A lovely update of this cute design. I am sorry that your scan will have to be repeated and hope that the next one will give out good positive answers. :rainbow: thanks squirrel, they're pretty sure what's going on is all related to my gallstones and diabetes ...

I hope bunny didn't feel too neglected :-) not too neglected, I think bunny understood the mice were so cute. Made some good progress today, just the foot and the detailing to do now. 05/08/20 - https://i.postimg.cc/0bvqP4KS/Fizzy-Bunny-05-08-20.jpg So my scan was inconclusive and will have to be r...

So after putting Fizzy Bunny on hold while I stitched the Trouble and Squeak Mice I've now come back to her and made some good progress today.

Ok so turbo needle is my new best friend!! Daisy Mouse is completed, I do have a plan for mounting them but that's going to have to wait for a couple of days. I have to go to the hospital on Tuesday for a Fibroscan so I'm going to have to make myself a mask. 01/08/20 - https://i.postimg.cc/Wd8QrQN8/...

Fridays count as the weekend right? I caved and turbo needle strikes!!

of the three Dandelion is my favourite, it should be a similar colouring to buttercup mouse but I actually prefer it in grey.

I need to follow your stitching example (instead of following the news)! :anotherfrog: I'm trying to avoid the news, it just depresses me :( on a happier note; another one done!! I do plan to wait for the weekend to stitch the last one. 29/07/20 - https://i.postimg.cc/VdqyYhcS/Dandelion-Mouse-29-07...

that's a good idea, I hadn't thought of that

so I did Mint Choc Chip Muffins yesterday and they cam out great. does anyone know of an alternative to eggs that wont change the flavour too much? I want to cut the recipe in half and only make 6 Muffins instead of 12, less temptation! but my recipe only has one egg in it so it would be hard to spl...

Did the "turbo needle" need time to cool down properly. It would be lovely to have a turbo needle right now as I race to get a small card done for youngest son's 52 birthday on Friday Thankfully he is staying with us at present so I can just hand it to him. I love your new update, and tho...

lol, your comments made my day! so the turbo needle has taken a day off and I've been stitching with a regular needle!

Ooh, that looks yummy. I turned our house into a bakery over the weekend just gone, I made Ginger Chocolate Chip Muffins, White Chocolate Spiced Muffins and Herb Rolls. I tried to make a Chocolate and Pecan Bread but it went horribly wrong!! how something can be both burnt and raw I will never know!

Thank you for all the kind words and encouragement, its hard being diabetic and asthmatic. I know that the government have said that it is safe to start resuming some normal activities but with social distancing but I'm too scared to risk it, work have got us all working from home which is great but...

so today has been hard, I'm struggling at the moment to cope with lockdown, I've been shielding since March and will be until the end of September at least. However on an happier note Buttercup Mouse is now finished, it took slightly more threads than expected so I'm going to have to tweak the colou...
