Holiday time .... part 1 ... Sheffeld - Windsor

We really made the most of the last week of our Easter Holidays, even better due to the fact our kids were

off when the southern schools had gone back.

We chose to go to Windsor and make a day (and a half) out of our Merlin Passes at Legoland then onto my mums for a couple of days before she brought us home on Sunday.  Despite living on the high speed rail line to London (2 hours) the connections etc to Legoland make it that little bit too far to do comfortably in a day.... but that's a tale for later in the week.

This holiday was all about budget .... fun and experiences.... but budget and trying not to spend too much on unnecessary items or expenses.

London Underground Cross Stitch - a work in progress 14/8

Progress update - 14/8/13.
Finished page 1 :)

I bought it here.

It's stitched using 1 strand of thread over 18ct aida (lettering in 2 strand) - the smallest I've ever worked with and probably the last.

It's one of those easy to stitch pieces (so long as you are doing the straight lines lol) ..... try doing the diagonals and it's very easy to get confused,
