Does she do anything else?

Some of you might be wondering if I do anything besides travel and the answer is yes. One of the main things I do is cross stitch. I did it a lot when I was in university (who knows where I found the time) but got out of it when I started teaching. A few years ago, when my cousin was getting married, I picked up a cross stitch magazine and got hooked all over again. Over the past few years I've become addicted to British cross stitch magazines, had a letter with picture published in one and stitched a lot. Here are some of my recent stitches.

I stitched this for myself because I love poppies.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do with this yet, but I really liked it.

I bought this pattern in November 2011 so decided to stitch it over the Christmas holidays.

This was my Olympic stitching project.
Two weeks and two days (minus the background).
That's going to take a long time.


These are websites for some of the magazines I like:


If you are at all interested in cross stitching you should check them out. They are fantastic!
