I had a great long weekend (Tuesday was Melbourne Cup Day, a public holiday in Victoria, and I took Monday off as well). We spent some time down at Aireys Inlet, although I didn't do any cross-stitching while I was there. Sometimes you need a little break to rekindle the fires...
When we got home on Monday, I got stitching away vigorously and finished off the Fish at Aireys design.
Then I started another one for Aireys - a lighthouse. The Split Point Lighthouse at Aireys is famous (it has been in the Round the Twist TV show). I adapted the pattern to look more like it and I'm pleased with the result. I plan to stitch 'Split Point Lighthouse' on it somewhere. Not bad for one day's stitching! It came together very quickly.
Happy Stitching,Kerrie
I've changed the name of this design to 'Fish at Aireys' as I've changed what I'm going to stitch along the bottom instead of the prescribed words, which I can't remember right now. It is from the same book as the previous By The Seaside design. I'm hoping to skip away at lunchtime today to get the threads I need so I can stitch on it when we go away for the Melbourne Cup long Weekend (and finish the previous design as well). The Melbourne Cup horse race is on Tuesday and it's a public holiday, but I've taken Monday off as well so I get an extra long weekend to go to Aireys Inlet. Can't wait to get away and the weather is supposed to be lovely too.
At the moment, it's only 2 partially finished fish, but they will look great when I'm done. As it uses the same colours as the previous design, I can't go too far without getting more supplies first.
Happy
Stitching,
Kerrie
