Trying to catch up .The vegetable garden has been priority and life has been pulling me down .
However after hurting my back again , moving a ton of logs from the old woodshed into the front porch , because the old workshop and woodshed is going to be pulled down and a new one built in a couple of weeks time and everything has to be cleared out of there ..... I am having a couple of rest days, before continuing with clearing . I still have to take out the pallets that the logs had been stacked on .I should be able to just "wheel" them out and put them to one side . We will be re-using them in the new woodshed .
So now reclining on the old sofa in the summer house , I have picked up the embroidery wheel calendar journal project once again and I'm looking to see where I'm up to with it .
I am so far behind ! I quickly stitched in the big hot heatwave sun for July , but looking back to June I couldn't think what on earth the little pencil sketch I'd done was ?
I checked in my little note book of ideas for the embroidered icons .. but it was not much help !
Husband said it looked like a space ship and it is true that I do like to wave to the space station as it glides over us in the evening , but it doesn't look like that !
No idea what it could be ....how frustrating . So we are just over half of the year stitched and now I feel stuck .
" Now where's my marmalade sandwich ? "
...... and then I remembered ! It's Paddington ! He had gone to Buckingham Palace to have tea with the Queen !
I also stitched in the Union Jack flag flying in the breeze . Very fiddly to embroider and important not to stitch it upside down !
" Anyone for a cup of tea ? " and " Would you like a marmalade sandwich ma'am ? "
