New Start

April Fool's Day.  

If only this Covid-19 was a joke.  Thankfully I am not in full lockdown as I work in the NHS but I am on annual leave currently, so other than walking Ellie, I am subject to the standard guidelines. 

Today I started a new project. 

This is another Harry Potter design but it doesn't have a title.  I purchased it from a company called PC Stitch on Etsy. 

Fittingly, I am watching the Harry Potter movies this week.

I can share this now it has been received. 

The one above is now framed.  It was stitched as a gift for my mother-in-law who walked Angel (and Ellie) every day during the week.  Angel also spent a week every summer at the beach with my inlaws.  Her favourite place was the beach; she would play happily in the waves all day if you could allow it.  In fact most of her ashes were scattered there so now she can.

When my mother-in-law found out I was stitching a picture of Angel, she asked if I could make her one.

So I stitched this second one for me. 

I still have a large hole in my life and not a day goes by without me thinking about her.  I think I was incredibly lucky to be a part of her life.

Ok so it's only a partial page but a page finish is a page finish.

It's so wonderful to see my Angel emerge from the fabric.

Now the first one has been stitched, a second picture has been requested by my out-laws.

Our Angel is really beginning to shine.
