Wow two posts in two days... I'm even impressing myself!!
For those of you expecting a card - sorry to disappoint. It's knitting.....
These were knitted for my bestest mate Gail for her birthday many months ago (told you all I had been busy but hadn't blogged anything) If you want to see a card here's the one I made for her.
I've been knitting since I was a little kid and I usually have something on the go - at the moment I'm discovering socks. I know you might all think I'm mad when I say this but there is something strangely comforting about knitting your own socks.
When I looked through my photos to see what I had to show you I found a picture of embroidered gloves and shoes that I took on a visit to the Burrell Collection. If you're ever near Glasgow I can highly recommend a visit. I thought I share a couple of my pics with you...
Aren't these incredible - if you click on the images you should get a bigger picture to see the detail.
I also found this picture and couldn't resist showing it to you...
This is Shadow peaking over the table at me - he likes sleeping on my chair and I think he was trying to tell me to move LOL.
I didn't mean to worry anyone with my last post, some personal stuff happened but the main reason for me not being about was my pc got a really nasty virus and it took months to get it fixed (huge thanks to Chris, my OH - he's a smart cookie). We only got the last bit of it working yesterday. Talk about withdrawal symptoms LOL.

I'm off for an early night, see you all again soon
