• Peanut butter is a real weakness, jar and a spoon yum yum ( i also hated that until a month ago
• I wear false teeth  ( well a plate really, not full blown nashers) after having 5 teeth took out by a drunk dentist that was struck off when i was about 10 so since then i have a real fear and an accident later left me with no teeth at the top right side, i refused to go to the dentist straight away and left it too late to save them, my fault but at 38 not something i thought would happen to me thought only old people had false teeth

i need some guinea pigs to help.

All you would have to do is look at my etsy shop and tell me which pattern you would like and i will email it you, in return i would really appreciate it if you could

• give me feedback on the pattern etc ( i cant improve unless i know where i am going wrong)
• send me a picture of the finished chart
• if you put pictures of it on your blog to tell them where you got it from

simple… ( i think)

you can email on lovethythread at hotmail dot com

or comment on this post

The name i chose is Love Thy Thread, i liked that one and always came back to that one.

so far my favourite  design is this…

i am going to stitch this one up myself to see what it looks like,  and today I have been doing these two.

So tonight it’s either catch up on blogs, stitch or create, depends on what rubbish the hubby decides to watch,

Happy Stitching

Thank you for the lovely awards i will reply this weekend to the award this weekend when i am feeling better, i hope everyone had a lovely Easter and had plenty of stitching or chocolate ( or both)

Now i have been thinking of doing some small designs on Etsy but i cant come up with a good name so far i have thought of:

• Love Thy Thread
• Threads Of Love
• Live By Thread
• Array Of Stitches
• Alive By Thread
• Stitching Joy
• Little Crosses
• Threads and Fabric
• Stitchgalore
• Life And Times Of Stitching
• Multicoloured Crosses ( may not work as the US/UK etc spelling if ‘colour’ differs)
• One More Little Stitch

So the help i need is are any of them any good, which one pops out at you or have you got a better one as mine are not up to it, I REALLY need you help as i have asked my husband and all i get it grunts and thats it, bleeding useless!

also if your blog has word verification on it and am still unable to comment on any of them and after 15 minutes i give up, blogger really needs to get its act together on this as people are missing out on comments grrrr

Happy Stitching

I have had help from Sharon (AKA Daffycat) and she has told me what to do so hopefully it will work, as i have had a go at designing my own cross stitch.

After a lot of mistakes ( i made the design too small so it didnt  chart very well) i have gone from this, my first attempt at playing with the graphics tablet

to this…

yes i know its not brilliant but its my first attempt OK, not sure yet how I can get it on the web so people can get it so until then I am afraid people will have to email me ( mail at weestitchy dot com) .

Going to start stitching it up to see what it looks like.

Here is my ORTS jar for this month, not bad for me.

and finally its been a lovely sunny day and while i was sat outside on the decking  i could hear this nose like a bunsen burner i looked up and 100 yards above me was this, i would love to go up on one of those on a sunny day.

hope everyone has had a good weekend

Next is an update of Sadness Of An Angel, still not finished the background or face completed as i STILL have toothache.

I am just not in the mood to stitch at all, the pain is terrible and the painkillers are a waste of time, i got an emergency appointment today but my Dentist as on holiday so i sat nervously in the chair of a dentist i didn’t know ( at this stage i was in so much pain i didnt care what they did as long as they took it away) and sat while he knocked his metal stick thingy on my teeth while i tried not to jump out of the chair only for him to tell me to take some antibiotics and come back in five days if i am still in pain, when my normal dentist is back.

FIVE DAYS OF THIS!! 

So now i am miserable, I had a tin of lukewarm soup so i could take my tablets then a drink of water and the pain was so bad after he had banged my teeth that i was crying with pain, not crying like a kid but with tears that i couldnt stop as it was that painful.

Yes this week has been a REALLY bad week, with Dentists, my eldest doing something so awful its the worst thing that a child could do to a parent,  and my doctor telling me i need counselling because of it and some little pills to make me feel better ( which i haven’t got yet as i would prefer stitching to be my drug) it has been a really shitty week, at least i am back properly in blogland.

Now I only have 5 months worth of back reading  and commenting to catch up on… I may not pick a needle up all week

toothache permitting that is as the painkillers are useless

anyway here is the missing writing from the previous post…

I was wanting to show the finished face but i have had toothache really bad – that’s why i hate going to the dentist i have just paid £204 to fix  my teeth and have come back with worse pain than before.
so it has affected how much i have got done.

At the moment i am working over four pages and just stitching any area that picks my eye. last night i watched Alcatraz, C S I ( i still miss Grissom but prefer Ted Danson’s character to Ray  Langston) and Suits- hubby went to bed early so i made good  use  of being able to hold the remote control. So i stitched part of the background last night in between swallowing painkillers and waiting for then to kick in. i didn’t want to stitch something i had to concentrate on too much.

i am hoping to try and continue with this one till the end of the month to stop me looking at the HAED site as i have put snowman by Ruth Sanderson in my cart so many times. yes i know i have more than enough started my hubby keeps reminding me

toothache and stitching don’t mix!!

Then i decided to switch to Sadness Of An Angel, i was a bit worried that with it being a mini that they detail would be lost, so i have started to concentrate on her face, this way i can compare the one on HAED’s Gallery and see the difference,

all weekend i couldn’t see what i was doing but i love it when you step back and it comes to life, and it has sparkle in it, yes i know some people hate stitching with Krienik but with small threads and some thread heaven i don’t mind it, i think the wings will look really good with a amount of sparkle in it, ( although i may not be saying that at the end lol)

UPDATE SO FAR ON MINI

and

FINISHED FULL VERSION ( taken from HAED GALLERY HERE)

it might look better the more of the face  i complete
