I finished my boat whilst the football was on last night and then started to frame it with a freebie from cross-stitcher magazine - obviously it needs trimming and finishing off - tht is once I've found the instructions :-) my hubby said "erm the boats alright but I think the frame looks cheap and nasty" - so I ignored him!!!
We've had the Olympic torch through the area at the weekend, to be honest (now I am prepared for some backlash here!!) I'm not that interested in it - steps back for the comments!! However, I am getting a little in the Olympic mood as I've managed to get us tickets for the pre-olympic football warm up of England v Brazil!!! I'm not really a footie fan at normal times of the year but when they are big championships like the World Cup etc I dont mind it - and I thought what chance might we get of seeing that calibre again (and at a reasonable price - cough!!). I'm getting all excited thinking face paints, flags etc - but unfortunately I am on my own - hubby and kids are like"OMG your so embarrassing!!!" - WHAT???? ME?????
On that cheery note I'll love you and leave you, as my bath is nearly run - catch you later.

With you on the olympic torch thing. Didn't it go out or something!!! Your jar is filling up nicely. I have got one on the go but keep taking more out of it than I put in. Hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeleteI love your little stitched boat in the red frame! So summery and I do love nautical colours and themes!

Love the boat, a good way to spend the rainy weekend stitching a boat :-)
ReplyDeleteSO agree with the torch thingy, it went past the end of our street a couple of weeks ago but I can't see why someone would want to stand for three hours waiting for someone you don't know to walk past holding it and for it to be over in two minutes, lol! Actually I'm not interested in anything about the Olympics........ Did you see that Ravelry have been stopped from having the Ravelympics because they aren't allowed to use the lympics bit on the word?? I mean it was just people knitting what difference would it make?! It all seems a bit ridiculous to me but I bet if they paid a fortune they'd be allowed.
Right that's me turning into a right grouch, I'll get off my soapbox now :-)
Have a lovely weekend,
Lori xx
Oh Ali, your little tug boat is lovely. It looks great. Have a great weekend. xx
