That Something New

This is not something totally new to me.
The last time I did it was over 8 years ago.
For a little bit now pictures have kept popping up in my Instagram Feed 
then a little research and a few visits and before I knew it  purchases were made
 which were then followed by a drive (Glenn drove, not me. Got to love this guy) 
to source supplies :o)


Worked out what it is yet?
"Cross Stitch"  
If you have ever been interested I suggest you go and check out
and be prepared for seriously cute and addictive patterns!

The first one I'm doing is "The 12 Days of Christmas"


I have until the 29th November to get my lace border all stitched before the first of 3 PDF files are send and we start filling in the center squares.


You may now be asking what is the second lot of threads up there in that pic.
Well I couldn't help myself. 
I have been admiring "The Woodland Sampler" on Instagram.


It did start back in January but you can join in at any time and upon signup
 you get all the patterns to date so you can start stitching straight away.

 I am also tempted to go on over and sign up for this one.....


and here is the sneak peak,  oh sooooo cute :o)


So thank you IG friends and The Frosted Pumpkin for reigniting my love of Cross stitch.
If you are on IG, search the hashtag "thefrostedpumpkinstitchery". 
The is a super cute Halloween pattern also.

Now, not one person is to make comment on me starting something new! lol
Life is to short and this world is way too full of inspiration :o)

Also, let me be totally clear here. I am not sponsored in any way.  The views I express are mine and the sites I link to are purely because I LOVE them and want to share :o)  Now I'm off to take another look at "Gingerbread Lane".

hugs Sharon xx

P.S.  Huge personal thank you to everyone who has emailed me after my last post.
I have not had a chance to email everyone back so please accept this as my
 personal Thank you for your well wishes after my Op.  Hugs xx

    They look gorgeous Sharon. I have a couple of very large not-completed cross-stitches but these are so tempting. I hope you're recovering well.
