Welcome, welcome! What delightful ages your children are, and just starting school is such an adventure. If you are lucky the little one still naps, and you might have a chance to fit in a bit of quick stitching. (Nevermind the dust -- it only comes back!)

My boys are much older: 18 and 16. I live up in Scotland (along with a seemingly large proportion of the forum (or at least those who aren't Canadians), even if they don't actually spend all their time in the rain like the rest of us... Bahrain, indeed! lol)

You should put yourself on the map -- it isn't hard to do, and is a bit of fun.

Toys. Ah, yes. I used to have little lego bumps imprinted in my feet. Sticklebricks were also great cripplers. Not to mention the k'nex pinched finger.

Welcome from Canada, southern Ontario to be exact. I have been stitching many years. I am single and have no kids. This is a great forum, fun people and lots of great ideas. Post in the gallery, we would love to see wht you have stitched.And we do get our fair share of rain, it has been threatening to rain all day but then the sun came out, you know, that big orange thing in the sky. hehe happy sitiching
