January FNWF

First Friday night stitchalong for the year.

I was weary after the final cleaning and putting away of the decos, so it was very nice to curl up in my chair and do some quiet stitching with my other blogging friends from Australia and beyond. CHERYLL From Gone Stitchin' is responsible for gathering us all together each month.
My efforts consisted of the stitchery on another Angel Story block.  This one is supposed to be called "Angela the Animal Lover" but I am renaming it "Esther the Animal Lover " after my vetinarian friend Esther who is so dedicated to her work.

I changed the design and placed the bird outside the cage. I don't like to see birds in cages.....

It looks happy to be out of there lol! It doesn't look like it but there was a bit of stitching on this block. It saw me through until bedtime. I have some prep done for the next block but was too tired to start marking it out...I didn't fancy a do over!
Last evening I felt like a little break from stitchery so I basted up some more clamshells. With this lot and whats in my tin, I think I may have 3 more rows of 20 ready to get stitched in place on the quilt.

We also have a little house guest. She is getting so old, poor Miss Sophie. She was not at all impressed at being left with us and did not budge from our living room door which over looks the street for 5 hours lol!

However this morning we have made ourselves quite and home and does NOT get the concept that doggies aren't allowed on the lounge chair...sigh!

After her 5am wake up call to us to be let in, Miss Sophie is a bit tired........ Just as well we are dog lovers.....
Where's the coffee?

I hope you enjoy this beautiful Sunday folks.
Namaste and Blessings Michelle xxx
