Morecambe

Image upload to Typepad problem

I haven't updated this blog in ages, mainly because I was experiencing problems uploading pictures. I did not realise that internet explorer was the problem, not me!

We experienced some amazing sunsets recently. Sorry that I don't know who took these marvellous photos. I wish I could have captured the view I saw myself, the sky was similar but there was a band of bright blue across the bottom. It was like looking at a tropical sea through a sunset.

Heidi has added a granny option to her Happypotomus pattern. Soon Henrietta was once more undergoing acupuncture to help with placing the motifs. She's a trooper.

Morecambe Carnival 2014

Morecambe carnival will be back in 2014 thanks to the hard work of a few local men and women. There is a facebook page as well.

They are looking for the original trophies. If anyone has one, a picture of one or any carnival pictures that they are willing to share on the website or facebook page please drop me a comment or send an e-mail and I'll make sure that they get it.

He Looked Like A Peddler update

not been getting a lot of stitching done as I am obsessed with crochet at the moment.

Half way across pages 6 and 13. Not far now to the edge and then it will be time to roll!

Middleton Tower

My post from 2007 on the old Pontins site, Middleton Tower, has generated quite a bit of interest. I came across this arial photo.

The great attic makeover

It took a long time but at last we have converted the attic to a useable bedroom. Before and after.

 

 

 

Cadbury's Creme Egg

Found in the attic. This Creme Egg is approximately 37 years old, based on when the box it was in was packed and sealed up.

He Looked Like A Peddler by Ruth Sanderson

I'm stitching this one over one on 28 count apricot Jobelan. While I stitch I have been learning the poem, Twas the Night Before Christmas, from which this scene is derived. There are 14 verses and I have three lines left - hope I learn them by Christmas Eve!

 This is the back. The first time I saw the back was when I took the photo, as I never flip my work to start or finish a thread.

And this is what it will eventually look like.
