All about me ... my life in beautiful New Zealand, my stitching, my family ... and other random crazyiness!
About Me
- Running Kiwi
- My name is Lisa, I was originally Stitchie Kiwi, I've just changed my name to the more appropriate Running Kiwi :) I started on a weight loss journey which has become a journey to run the London Marathon, through the pure luck of a Spot Prize. I've started this blog for my own benefit, I want to remember and look back on how far I've come, but also to (hopefully!) inspire others, I know I'm inspired by the journeys of many other people. The basics of me - married to David (since 1989), five children - David Jnr, Josh, Cameron, Rhiannon and Charlotte ranging from 18yo to 8yo.

Wonderful Elf I'm also going to stitch in Mirabilia along,a speciaö group on yahoo you perhaps are a member of.
She is so sweet
She is sparkly already, Lisa. I love it. I may have to breakdown and buy it. LOL I am a sucker for Mirabilia designs.
So did you come up with your 2006 goals yet? :)
She is beautiful. I really love the sparkly fabric you picked. It makes her more wintery than the fabric in the kit.
I wondered if it had arrived! Wonderful progress and look at all the other pieces you are stitching too. Clever cookie that you are. Can't wait to see it in person.
Happy New Year Lisa. Enjoy your night out, we are out too, or here it has not been decided but something will happen with Gary and Maryanne probably. It will be fun no matter what.
