Finally I've finished

In 2019 I stitched two temperature projects, one showing the hottest temperature of the day, the other showing the coldest. And that was that, they sat in my drawer for ages!

I decided to make them into mats to use occassionally by using drawn threads and a hem. I marked them out ... and there they sat in my drawer!

But I've finished them ... whoo hoo! They are square I'm just rubbish at taking level photos with my phone.




I haven't started making up my 12 days yet as I have a few things to stitch first, namely two wedding gifts. 

But before those I have a special item to stitch, I've sorted the fabric and threads and hope to start stitching today.


The colours match my beautiful peonies and the lovely cards we've received ❤️ 


Yes, we're now Grandma and Grandad to our beautiful granddaughter Sylvie-Rose. We're delighted for our daughter and son-in-law, it's lovely to see them become parents.

Congratulations to Grandmother and Grandfather, Sylvie Rose is a beautiful name.
I love the idea of using them as mats, very pretty, I have never stitched a temperature anything before, i may just have to do so soon.

Being a nanna is the best. Our latest grandchild is almost 8 weeks old now, we have five altogether, each one a blessing. Enjoy!
