So, what did I spend the weekend doing? Organising my floss! Another of those jobs I've needed to do for a long long time, but never seem to get the spare time. So Saturday our lounge looked like a bomb hit it as I spread floss out, put in number order, marked off etc etc. This is my floss drawer - three floss boxes with nearly one of every DMC colour, a fourth box with the extra wound DMC colours. There is also a bag (not seen here) of plastic bags separated into about numbers (by about 100's - 2-300 sort of thing) with the numbers inside the bags written on a piece of paper in good view. The funniest thing was having 7 skeins of 898! I'll never have to buy that number again LOL. Also sorted and ticked off what GAST and WDW I have ... need to do this with Crescent Colours too - but didn't find a good list straight away - anyone know of one?Interestingly, I only have 25 DMC colours missing - makes me wonder why I could never find the colour I wanted when I needed it ;)
Now, the cute kid thing? What do you do in bed when you should be going to sleep, that can make it fine to get out of bed and say something to your mother, even though she's told you about five times to get back to bed and stay there? Why, write very cutely in a card of course ... make her heart melt, and all is okay ;) ... this makes me laugh though, Rhiannon was obviously spelling out the words for her and she must have misheard the "v" in love as "b" ... so I get a "To Mummy Lobe From Charlotte" LOLLastly, here is my latest finish - I put down Ashley's Roses to stitch this for a good work friend of David's she was the HR person a couple of jobs ago - they have kept in touch through redundancies, job changes etc - anyway, she is due this month sometime - not sure whether she is having a girl or boy - so I will add the name after we hear of the baby's arrival. I will probably get it framed once I've finished it off completely.
