Martha who?

Hello again :-) Thanks for all the comments on yesterdays post, we really enjoyed our time away and I had great fun going through all the pictures we had taken and sharing some of them with you.
As promised, today I have a stitchy update. I did take some stitching on holiday with me but I forgot to take my q snaps so I didn't get any stitching done at all :-( on the bright side that meant that my evenings were spent beating DH at Scrabble :-) Before I left I managed to squeeze in this little finish.

My weekend evenings were somewhat back to normal so I was able to get some stitching in on a new start. I'll hopefully get this and the others awaiting finishing made into pillows for my halloween basket, before halloween!

Finally, Caitlin has been inspired by our trip to the Sealife centre and has been crafting up a sea creature storm the past few evenings. Last night she made a super cute jellyfish out of a yoghurt pot, coloured paper, string and cotton buds (q tips). I asked her where she had got the instructions from and she said nowhere, she made this up all by herself! Martha Stewart better watch out!
Happy stitching (and crafting!),

Well done Caitlin :D Your stitching is looking fab, Sadie - I am particularly liking the Pumpkin Kitty. Glad you had a good time away too xx

Great stitching!
The spider in Trick or Treat is massive when you compare it to the cats it's hovering over!

Clearly Caitlin takes after her creative mum.
