Well I’m thoroughly enjoying being retired, I’m afraid I haven’t missed worked at all!! I haven’t been quite so productive as I hoped, I think I need to get a bit more organised. I have managed a fair bit of stitching out and about. I’ve stitched in the physio waiting room, today I was stitching in Harrogate bus station! Quarter of an hour here and there soon adds up.

Last time I posted I was making good progress on the Little Sheep Virtues…

Courage is now finished, it goes with one I stitched a few years ago and never did anything with it. These are both going in another fabric book.

I’m now half way through ‘Love’…

They are pretty quick and simple to stitch, ideal for an out and about project. They are meant to have fancy buttons on too of birds and flowers. The ones they recommend are gorgeous but they are difficult to get hold of and expensive here in the UK. I’m going to keep my eye open when I go to the Harrogate show in November.

There’s quite a few in this Sheep series, I’m not sure if I’ll do them all, it might make the book too thick…we’ll see!
