Mechie if you do find where you saw that Cross stitch chart please post the link!!!!! I need it to!!!!!

I usually try half and half during nap time, half of naptime housework half of naptime stitching!!!! I stitch first and as you never know how long they'll nap for very rarely get round to the housework!!!!

I'll be sure to post a link when I find it. I do the same as you, with the same results. It's been even worse since we had to move Little One out of her crib and into a big girl bed (she was climbing out of the crib and getting some nasty bruises). Since she can get out of the bed at any time, she hasn't been napping as well as she used to.

That didn't take long, I found the chart. I should have know it was a Lizzie Kate. It's called Cleaning the House. I really need to get this now ... maybe for another nap time project.

I may just have to have it aswell!!!! I know a friend who would certainly appreciate it also!!!!

One of my mum's friends daughter taught her daughter to wait until someone came to get her before getting out of bed. So through the monitor used to come this little voice, I'm awake now can someone come and get me please!!!!! She carried on doing this till she was about 7!!!!!!

Think I may have to get this pattern. My daughter- in - law will appreciate it.

on your current project. I can't wait to see it done. and I love the Cleaning House Chart. I will not be surprised if all of a sudden we see a lot of SALs on that one. Seems like a very appropriate sign to have. I am thinking that my DIL would love it.

It looks gorgeous, and an inspired choice of fabric! @ the Cleaning design -- I found another one some time ago which said "Housework is a waste of good stitching time" which I'd like to use for a design some time.

A sweet little project Great work

Absolutely gorgeous mechie and you are getting through it so quickly too.

I am delighted you asked the questions about the beads as I was wondering what the differences were when looking around some sites for my freebie Chatelaine I downloaded recently.

Thanks Mabel and MBK - its all a lot clearer now.

I love your fabric choice!

[mechie]

I've now done as much on my little toadstools as I can until my sparklies arrive. I'm quite proud of how it's turned out so far.



Since I couldn't work on that one anymore, I decided to start another one Saturday. After 2 naps of stitching, here is Springtime Roses Freebie which is also from Chatelaine.



Sorry about the poor photo. There's no good lighting in the house when the sun's not shining.

Wow Mechie they both look soooooooo good! I can't wait to see your Springtime Roses - I think that was one of my favourite stitches this year. These designs may be small but Martina puts so much detail into them that they are as amazing as any big piece! Can't wait for your sparklies to arrive!

[Mabel Figworthy]

Pretty!

[rcperryls]

Oh, I have that one too. I downloaded two freebies from her site and I love that one. I am so glad you are stitching it so I can see how it goes. And you are doing a great job so far. A really good nap time project. I am looking forward to the next update.

Thanks, y'all. Your comments make me .

Guess what! My sparklies came in the mail today! They were probably sitting in the mail box while the girls napped, but I didn't go check until after everyone was awake. Hopefully, I'll have a chance to work on the toadstools tomorrow, but I'm not sure. We're leaving tomorrow night to go to South Carolina for the Thanksgiving holiday, so toadstools may have to wait until next week (I don't really want to take bead work on a road trip).

Very very pretty!! I'm so very glad that your sparklies have arrived and I will be watching for updates on both of these. I hope you have a great Thanksgiving, travel safely!!
