Let it Snow!

No, unlike some places in Canada at the moment, it is not snowing in the Netherlands!  As much as I love the snow, I’m glad… because I’m so not ready for it yet!
I am totally ready to do some Christmas crafting though!
A few months ago I ordered this cross stitch kit from sewandso.co.uk and have [...]

Poor Pixel

Even though I’m feeling like crap at the moment I am giving all my well wishing vibes to Pixel.   Somehow she managed to scratch her eye, which has caused some swelling and irritation.
The vet said that she has a scratch on her cornea and gave us cream to put in her eye 4 times a [...]

Cheap Pedicure

Who needs a pedicurist when you have dogs like this?!
Bailey was always a seriously licky dog, and he’s passed the habit on to Pixel.  If there is an inch of bare skin, they want to be licking it.  They’ll stop if you tell them no… sternly … err, and repeatedly.  Shouting it helps.  They’ll usually [...]

Bedroom Reno Part 4 - Blood, Sweat and Curtains

When I say that our blood, sweat and tears have gone into our new bedroom, I’m not jokin’.   At the moment I have a finger and a heel bandaged due to renovation related accidents.   Xander has injured three of his fingers.
No good renovation goes without a few casualties, and if I have to give up [...]

365 Days – It’s a Challenge Alright!

I just woke up from a nap during my painting break (hence the red cheeks). I am so tired I can’t figure out what needs attention more urgently. My paint splattered glasses or my unruly eyebrows. (365 Days – Day 2)

Quilt Sampler Cross Stitch Progress

Well I’ve been working on the quilt sampler cross stitch I mentioned a little while ago and I think it’s coming along pretty well.   The pattern called for it to be stitched across 2 stitches but I couldn’t be arsed, I just did it normally.   It’s still coming out nicely anyway.
I have to admit, it’s [...]

I’ve Been Framed!

Well, not me personally… but my mother’s cross stitch has! err.. or will be.  There’s a pattern I’ve wanted to do for a long time called Aunt Verdi’s Porch by Paula Vaughan.   I had mentioned it to my mother a few times and when I was home in Canada in October she showed me that [...]
