Pokemon Blackwork WIP and new goodies!!!!

Greetings guys!

Here's the latest Pokemon designs in the stitchy stage:

  

These photos were taken on 27th September 2011.  Bonsly is almost completed now, I will probably finish him tonight, (unless I start a new one).  Expect the patterns next week!

While I'm on, most of you know that this week I am staying with my sister who lives on camp at RAF Shawbury in Shropshire.  The weather is absolutely glorious!!!  Yesterday my mum and I had a trip into nearby Shrewsbury.  We found a quaint little needlework shop and as a treat, my mum bought me this:

I'm always keen to extend my stitchy knowledge and have been after a decent book of embroidery stitches for a while.  I'm always taking books out of the library but hadn't found one I liked --- till I saw this!  It wasn't cheap, but I fell in love with it and think that it will be well thumbed!  It also comes endorsed by the RSN!

We had a fabulous time, and spent far too much money, but we are on holiday :-)

Tomorrow we will be going to nearby Moreton Corbett for a look round the castle ruins -- again the weather forcast is warm and sunny, so I shall be looking forward to that!

So that's all for now, till next time ... keep Kalm and cross stitch! xx
