Pirates 2... twice!

Well, I went to see Pirates on Saturday evening as planned & loved it!! There were so many laugh out loud moments & Johnny Depp was excellent (as usual). Anyway, I loved it so much I went to see it again this afternoon, this time with my nephew. I managed to see the first film 3 times at the cinema with different people, so am going for my own personal record with this one!! Another 2 people want to see it with me, so looks like I might manage it ;o)))))

I'm back to work this week, after having Wimbledon fortnight off so my stitching time has gone back to being limited again. The thing I loved about doing shiftwork on my last job was all the free time I had to stitch & then being able to stitch at work (whilst working on the switchboard) during evening, night & weekend shifts! Therefore, my stitching time is very precious to me, so I like to make the most of it.

My best friend is coming down from Yorkshire at the end of this week - yay! I'm going to pop in & see her on Friday for a while (she's staying at her parents house which is near to my Dad's) after I've seen Dad & then she's going to come over & spend the day with me hopefully next Thursday. It'll be great to see her - I really can't wait!

A Date With a Pirate

Yes, we're off to see Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man's Chest this evening :o)))) I can't wait as the first Pirates film is one of my faves. And mmmmmm..... Johnny Depp. YUM!

Thanks for all the lovely compliments about Titania. The fabric is totally gorgeous - the photos don't do it justice at all. It looks like she is sitting in a garden, she is in focus in the picture & all the flowers/foliage behind her are out of focus if you know what I mean! Every piece of Winter Meadow I've seen has looked different, so I'm rather tempted to get another piece & hope that its as lovely as this one.

Well done everyone, you guessed correctly. I have indeed started Mirabilia's Forest Goddess. I'm not sure what happened - I hadn't planned a new start at all. I just got to thinking about how much I enjoy stitching Mira's and wanted to start stitching another one! I'm using Silkweaver's Tranquility Belfast linen which is a lovely mix of greens. I want to create the effect of her walking through a deep woodland glade. I did a little more yesterday & am not quite sure how her mossy green cape is going to look on it, I need to get more of it stitched first but I think it'll probably be ok. The dress colours really pop on it though, which is what I wanted.

I received my FOTM from Silkweaver yesterday & this time I got Iris Garden on opal Belfast which has to be one of the most gorgeous pieces of fabric I've ever seen in my life! Its one of those ones that would fit with lots of designs & I'm thinking that a mermaid might look good on it. Hey.... maybe I should have another Mira start just to keep my enthusiasm going! ;o)
