I don't care what you think!

Tonight I tried to do more than mess about on Facebook, so as well as watching 'One Born Every Minute' I turned my attention to a cross stitch kit I have. 'Oh My God...' lots of people will probably say, 'you're 28 not 68'.


Well I don't care! I actually enjoy it, it's more productive than god damn Farmville, and it focusses my attention - I have severe snacking issues and when I'm stitching I find the night flies by without me having raided the fridge. 


Also this cross stitch has meaning to me.. I got it aged 16 as part of some 'craft club' you used to get all the times in magazines... there were book ones too. You bought 3 or 4 items at 99p or not much more, then you had to buy 3 or 4 full price items in the following 12 months. Well one of my items was a cross stitch kit called Calendar Bears. My nanna got the same one - she completed it in a short space of time and it hung by her front door for many years. She sadly died last September so now it feels appropriate and right to dig mine out and finish it off.


Anyway back to the stitching, here's where I am now:
