Talking of stitching, I'm still plodding away with my blues:
I'm officially celebrating a finishing of page 2 HD! Yay :o))) I can now get onto page 3 where the head of the princess starts, so I can finally get to stitch some non-blue colours!
In other news, my poor car failed its MOT a couple of weeks ago. It was only on 3 things, 2 were really inexpensive & the 3rd (something to do with wishbones for the suspension) weren't that expensive, but apparently its very labour intensive to remove the old ones & put the new ones in, so the labour costs made it a pretty expensive little failure. Its all fixed now though, mind you a new radiator is also on the horizon soon as my little car gets rather hot when I'm dashing up the motorway... :o(
I'm off to catch X-Men 3 a bit later with my nephew. Its been out for a while & we just haven't been able to arrange a day where we were both free to see it. It's not really Andy's cup of tea you see. I'm off from work now though for 17 days - yay!! Because, yes, its that time of year again.... it's Wimbledon! :o))))) We have tickets for court no.1 on Monday & I was also offered late ballot tickets for the men's semi finals. Unfortunately they arrived the same week my car was costing me a chunk of cash so I couldn't accept them :o(((( I'm sure we'll probably go up again though, during the 2nd week, to mingle on the outside courts and munch on a strawberry or 2 ;o)

Great progress Sam - which part will you stitch next? 17 days off sounds great, not a fan of wimbledon but have fun anyway!
Is this a Heaven and Earth Design, Sam? It is looking great, even if you only have shades of blue.
Ah Wimbledon. Mum & I usually go each year. When my little girl was just a baby, I left her in the capable hands of my Dad and saw Lleyton Hewitt, defending his title, lose in about 15 minutes flat on centre court. The next match was a ladies match and it ended in what felt like seconds. That was my first time I'd been on centre court, the next time I couldn't make it, so Dad went in my place.
We didn't get great tickets this year, so we decided not to bother - oh well I suppose it's home made Pimms then!!!
Enjoy your time off and the tennis.
Oh my gosh, that is A LOT of blue!! My hat's off to you for not setting it aside!
Hope you enjoy Wimbledon and your 17 days off!!
Yay for Wimbledon - have fun there!
I love the delicate shading of teh blues.
Wow! That's a lot of blue. I probably would have burned out on it and stitched something else! Congrats to sticking with it. I can't wait to see more. : )
I totally understand about not wanting to be on the computer too much. I'm on it ALL day for work, and sometimes I just need to get far far away from it. I also find it eats up my stitching time.
Hi
I've just discovered your blog - it's great! I love the different shades of blue, well done you for sticking with it!
Ah, Wimbledon time again - there's nothing like watching a bit of tennis, even better when you can actually watch it at Wimbledon. Have a great time :)
