Ditto with my stitching today. There are days like that!
Hope that you are now back on the right track. :D

One quarter done. AM going to work one block along from right to left which takes me to tree line. Will then work back a block at a time from left to right. On the left hand side you can just see start of trees.

PS Think I will try & get larger pic on here next time. I used thumbnail for websites & forumsbut will choose a different one later on & see how that comes out.

Looking good! We've recently returned from camping trip to Snowdonia. Also loved the scenery. Unfortunately our trip got cut short due to lots of rain and a sick child.

Thank you. Very sorry your child became ill during your holiday phoebefreckle. There is more rain up here than when we lived in the southern parts of the UK & that is why it is so green I think. A couple of weeks without rain & the ground becomes rock hard.

Do hope your child recovers quickly & perhaps you can visit N. Wales another time to see the varied scenery :D
