I Always Seem to Leave Things Until the Last Minute

The week is going too fast. I feel as though I'm running out of time. I leave for England on Friday. I'm really excited. 

I decided - last minute of course, because is there any other way - that I wanted to take something to give to my sister. She has just had one of her bedrooms - the one I stay in - decorated in cheery yellow and she calls it her bumblebee room. So what did I decide I needed to stitch? Yes, a bumblebee. Do I have any patterns in the masses I have on hand? Nope. I searched Etsy, found one I thought wouldn't be too hard and maybe - just maybe - I can get stitched and made into something before I leave early Friday morning. I quickly ordered it, downloaded it, printed it, went upstairs in the heat and found all the floss needed (thank goodness I had that organised at least lol). I also found a bit of aida. I started stitching on it, decided I didn't like the colour and just started it again on white. Will it be finished in time? I honestly don't know. The holes seem a lot smaller than they used to - though probably that's just my eyesight (joys of getting older).  



Perhaps you might see a finished item here lol.

    1. I was just thinking that I should like to take her something and I should probably make it. I did finish it!

    1. It takes more time than people think.
      This one was fairly easy though thank goodness or it wouldn't have been finished in time!
