Working in the background

Another day of rain .........

I am having lots of some trouble now with Blogger - my blog host.  The default font is some weird one so every time I post I have to change the font, also my pictures will still not line up or stay put.  As a record of my times, and due to the fact I like things to be organised, I am having a trying time.  May I also add that I don't think my PC helps!!! lol

 I could do with a new PC (or laptop), maybe that would help - should I join the Lottery?

There are several requests lately on my Quilts for Breast Cancer group so I have sorted my designs and materials and now I have one square per month to stitch.

I have these squares finished for Jill C, she enjoys sports and follows two football teams - State Universities - so these two are ready to post at the end of the month.

I don't know which I enjoy more -  the research for the design, or the making up of the 'kit', or the actual stitching!!!

I downloaded a simple cross stitch program from one of my groups and when I used it to translate the pictures above, I was well satified with the cross stitch pattern.  It took some time to find a photo of the Gators helmet facing to the left, I had already stitched the Hawks one so that limited me.  
I have stitched the two as there were not enough stitchers (we need nine squares for each quilt) and I enjoyed the challenge.

I am already stitching December's square but that doesn't mean I am staying on top of things ... oh! no!  I don't have any Christmas cards made yet, most of the components yes but actual cards .........nope.

I still want to find a bit more information about my maternal Grandfather - need to write to my cousin in Scotland to see if he has any stories and contact his regiment.

I also want to make up some Christmas packages of card making materials from the stash to send out.

Shall I go on?

And it is raining ............ maybe I will go make some cards!!!!
