Tatty Teddy no2. finished!



YAY! I actually finished the stitching on Monday, but had the back stitching to do which I have settled down to do tonight.

I have an extremely bad back from doing election duties yesterday, sitting from 7am - 10pm on a hard chair, I can assure you it wasnt comfy and I am feeling it today. Everytime I stood up, another voter would walk through the door, so I had to sit back down lol

Anyway, I am starting ANOTHER tatty teddy cross stitch and WILL be making some cards this weekend.

I hope you are all good in the land of Blog! :)
