Happy New Year!!

Hope you all had a lovely night last night with not too many hangovers today - lol. Quiet night here a quick visit round the in-laws then home and bed for 11 - hubby was back at work today with new longer shifts being brought it so he doesnt finish until 7.30 now - boo!!

Anyhoo, after todays visit (back to the in-laws - again!!) for lunch - I've managed to get some stitching done - so the first threads have been dropped into the Tusal holder, this is what I am working on:


I am thinking of framing this and giving it to my mum for mothers day (she has a thing about angels) - I may also end up stitching one for myself!!

I've also started to get things ready for my first make that I have signed up with the Annie - I've got my socks ready and downloaded some instructions (oh god I hope they are easy) - to make my first sock monkey - stay tuned to find out how I get on - gulp!!!

Thanks for looking

Ali

    Oh sock monkeys are really easy and are really effective! My advice would be take a little time on the face, my first ever one had such a creepy expression I couldn't bear to look at it lol!

    I love the design you are stitching. Angels are my favorite and have never seen this design before. I can't wait to see your next update. Have a great week!
