The 15 minutes has been interrupted by a minor surgical procedure and date night with hubby, last one we had was when the Sherlock Homes Movie ... was it last year, came out the last time on Tuesday we went to the latest one. It was pretty cool and over the top but we enjoyed it.
I probably have still averaged more than 15 minutes a day mainly on the cross stitch it is great to do in front of the TV at night especially the crappy TV that we have at the moment. I have been collecting more cross stitch patterns and the final Loose Feathers instalment has hit our shores so I have ordered that and the fabric to do the pattern which should come in the next day or so.Today I headed to Hetties to get the fabric and threads for my next cross stitch... which I will try not to start before I finish the panel I am working on. It is Christmas Garden by Blackbird again and here are the threads I am going to use... really disappointed the Seasons doesn't come in Dark Red variegation but I am going to use 2 burgundies together to try and get a similar effect. The other book is another Blackbird Cross Stitch book which I had put away for me and my mate Helen decided to give it to me as an early birthday present. So I think I have enough to go on with for a while.
I'm also trying to get to a small quilt.... something keeps getting in the way though. Probably Cross Stitch. Here are the blocks it is Athill, I have to admit I am not overly attracted to it, it is very wishy washy for my taste but it is very popular in the shop so I will give it a go. Watch for a new pattern soon.
Lastly do you like the nails. This is the latest thing. The polish has metallic elements in it and once its painted on the technician holds a special magnet close to the nail and the stripes appear. This was the only colour she could get at the moment.
Head on over to Kate's for more 15 minutes challengers.
