Stitching and Other Pleasures

I finished the needle roll I blogged about the other day. SB's Happy Day needleroll is all done except for the hemstitching & stuffing. Yee haa! :)

On Friday night, I got up from my chair & my knee hurt. So much that I could hardly walk on Saturday. It was OK on Sunday so I played tennis on Monday & now it hurts a lot & is all swollen. Oh goodie....& my doctor is in China so I can't see him until next week. Double goodie! I must be getting old; my body is falling apart. I know what he'll say: "Lose weight"!!

I've uploaded my pics of the scrapbooking I did. They're here: http://community.webshots.com/user/catcar7

I'm finally on a roll! I discovered a long-lost needle roll kit in my DH's
car so I've been stitching it. It's an SB (duh!), Happy Day, that I bought
when I was at the retreat in Utah last year. I haven't stitched on a 32ct
for so long but it doesn't seem to be a problem for my eyes thank
goodness. I'll upload a pic when it's done.

I've also been doing some scrapbooking. We had our annual big craft
fair here in Sydney last week & I bought a book of 8x8 papers for
Christmas albums. So I scrapped my DD's santa photos from birth
to now! Took me 6 hours but I'm very happy with them. I just love
that 8x8 size! I'll have to scan them & also upload.

I can't believe that I haven't posted here since June! In fact,
I can't even believe it's August. Anyway....I've had a cross
stitch finish since June & it's an SB one. Elisabeth's stocking
is stitched & waiting for its 'friend', Robert's stocking. These
are for my brother & his new wife (ack...I've just realised it
will be one year since their wedding in only 3 weeks!!).

So...if anyone out there reads this & is interested in SB designs,
