I had a great idea to send a Strawberry Shortcake cross stitch effort for the Crafty Ribbons challenge
I didn't factor in the state of health or the stupidness of entering into a healthy eating plan as soon as I got back from my weekend away...
...I'm so daft....
Anyway I can only do a little bit at a time so here's as far as I have got.....
Not terrific, considering I started it before I got the ribbons but... *agh* why do I have to do stupid things like this? If I'd sent a card it would have been sent ages ago agh agh.. and the ribbons are so thick whatever I make is going to look what I used to call 'turdy' lol.... I can't even blame the ribbons they're fantastic... grrr.....
Oh well.....
I'll try to post updates on here when I've managed to do some so you can see my progress lol... it's both my sisters' birthdays next week and I can't make anything for them til I've done this... not that I had anything special in mind, but....
I can't do anything for more than a little time at the moment I keep getting dizzy... wish it would bugger off and leave me to sort myself out and get crafty again....
..and my kitchen is full of stupid craft junk, most of which I'll prob never use... got because it was either free or a bargain....
...most probably because the people getting rid of it couldn't find a use for it...
*sigh*
...but if i throw it out I'll probably want it next week or something...?
Hoarders 'r' us.....
*hugs*

How was your weekend away? What did you think of Gibbon Bridge? Your X stitch looks good to me!
ReplyDeleteIt looks brilliant. I used to have a little Strawberry Shortcake doll! Memories! Can remember how chuffed I was getting it - didn't get many 'famous' toys when I was a kid - not like the spoiled brats... I mean darlings these days :P
ReplyDeletelol at carmen. Little darlings want everything we were lucky to get anything. Lol i'll put my violin away now.
ReplyDeleteMyz she's fab can't wait to see her finished. The ribbons were a bit wide slightly narrower would have been better.
