Holiday time

A week off from the 'proper' job means that I can spend some time catching up on baby cube orders. We have a Luke and a Jacob to be done..just as well there is plenty of blue thread in the boxes. Thinking of making them slightly different this time with 2 panels in blue printed baby fabric, 2 blue aida and 2 white aida with name and date of birth and then a couple of baby designs on the other blank aida.. As you can tell, I'm undecided as to what to do this time. I know one thing though, it was getting quite samey with the 6 panels of aida.. definetly time for a change.. or should I say a minor tweak.

I also have an order for a Mickey Mouse birth sampler from a friend who, when I did a pic for her Nan's 80th birthday, kept texting to see how much more I had to do.. the more she text, the longer it took as, obviously dear reader, I had to keep putting it down to answer her.. Anyway..my uncertainty at doing it for her will just have to be pushed aside and hope that this time she tells me that it is appreciated by whoever she is giving it to.. if not, I'm not doing anything else for her. Yes I know that is not the point, but a quick text to say 'thank you its lovely' isn't much to ask for is it?

Also on the cross stitch front is a dragon and wizard pic, and my Mum's roses that I started for her 60th birthday..(she's 62 this year..oops)
There is so much I want to stitch that I'm seriously considering surgery to become an octopus so I can do more at once.

Found out that one of my best friends (one of the 2 pregnant ladies who didnt know the sex) is having a girl..yay. It will be a nice change from blue!!!!!

I had better move from here... those baby cubes are not going to get themselves done if I stay infront of Spike (the laptop...named after the lead singer of The Quireboys..and now you're wondering who on earth they are aren't you..)
I shall leave you to go and google/you tube them and go and put the kettle on.
