Vampires

I have been hooked on Vampires for a while, I love The Lost boys, it is one of my favourite films of all time, and I have read all the Twilight Saga books and watched the films that have been made so far. I have read the Morganville vampire books By Rachel Cain which is aimed at teens but I am a teen at heart! LOL



Recently I have been watching the Buffy and Angels got most of them on DVD didn't watch it when it was on TV didn't appeal to me then, But I do love it now. Oh and I do like 'Being Human', Blade, Vampires Assistant, Van Heilsing, Underworld, Interview with a Vampire.
I haven't got into that other series True Blood, maybe it was the slow dim witted blonde in it that put me off
Now I am watching series one of the Vampire diaries which is another series I am now hooked on



So what is it about these Mythical creaures I like so much, The hunky actors that play them, umm maybe, or the great stories, umm maybe.....or maybe I should stop analysing myself and just enjoy them!! ;0)

Anyone else like these type of stories? Do you know of any I haven't mentioned or forgotten about??

New addition to the household.

Meet Lily our new kitten,

I couldn't resist her! 

She was found at the JCB plant and one of the employees brought her in to the Cat's Protection when she was approx 6 weeks old she was so tiny.

She is approx 12 weeks now and a little madam, we went to fetch her on Thursday. So far Tango has been okay with her, but Bella was hissing and growling at her at first, although she is getting used to her, she's not hissing or growling at all now, still wary of her though.

When she is playing with Tango she bounces round like Tigger.

But you want to see my stitching don't you, here is Winter Mandala so far.

 And here is Beatrix potter quaker sampler, I did the brown bit at the top.

I did also do an Ornie from the JCS Christmas Ornament mag, but it is for an exchage so can't show you just yet. There are a few I like out of the magazine, so hopefully I will have some to show you.

Ooo nearly forgot, postie delivered Woodland Enchantress today I asked Amanda if she still had it in stock, a while back but with my Mum being in hospital forgot to send payment.But she is here!

As for starting her LOL well could I cope with another WIP???



Photos

Here are the photo's I promised, This one is a new start called 'I am not fat, I'm Fluffy' which is a Margaret Sherry cat design

 And here is my Winter Mandala I finished the black outline at the first meet up, and started doing more colour at the recent meet up

I haven't any photo's of the meet up but if you see Julie's Blog she had taken some

Howdy!

Well my Mum was taken back into Hospital Thursday, but she is home yet again And they have finally explained her condition to her, and hopefully she will stay out now.

But in between visiting my Mum I have managed to fit in two meet up's! The one last Saturday in Melton Mowbray ( If you are on my facebook you'll see photos)and the one today in Nuneaton. It is lovely to be able to sit and stitch with friends and both meet ups have cheered me up. And I have managed some stitching at both days. I did the rest of the black outline on Winter mandala last week, and started a Margaret Sherry piece. And today I finished the edging on a Hardanger piece for a Friend and did some colour on Winter Mandala. So I am happy. I will upload pics soon I promise just poke me if I don't!
Thanks for visiting (Hugs)

My Mum is home, but they still didn't tell her what is was, so will have to harrass the GP, but she's still very weak I took her to the Post office and shop to get a few bits and she really struggled.
Thank you for your lovely comments

I did a little stitching at the weekend and hopefully will get some done this weekend as well.

Just a quick one

I haven't been around as my Mum has been in hospital, She is doing well now but just wanted you to know that I haven't vanished and hopefully will be back soon.
I hope you are all well
Thanks for visiting

I have stitched!!!!

LOL I have had a little stitchy session at Hardanger/Stitchy group yesterday, I am so pleased with myself. I have missed the group as it seems to have been such a long time since the last one.

I managed to do more of the outline of the island.

Here is a snippet of some Hardanger, it's not mine as I am just doing the edging for a friend.

Looky what I have purchased from a friend, she makes gorgeous bags, and I just love the colours in this so just had to have it.( I do have a bag addiction lol)

And here is what I got Andy for our anniversary, he's ate most of it now

I am back at work from Friday,will seem strange to be working again.

Anyway thanks for visiting I really appreciate you stopping by. 

Stalling....

I have been stalling for a while, I really need to stitch on this, The Isle of Sark. I really do not like stitching on these type of designs, if it were mine it would've been in the bin a long time ago, but it's my MIL's she bought and asked me to stitch it. Over a year ago :0P.

So I am gonna try and do a weekly slot, and you are allowed to shout at me if I don't as I need all the encouragement I can get (LOL)

The only other thing I have touched at the moment is the Winter Mandala, I will update on that another time.
I hope you are all well sending you Hugs if you need them.
