A lovely relaxing day.

Before I sat down to sew yesterday I had a little reshuffle. Firstly I hauled one of the sofas away from it's spot under the window. Then in went my armchair. I've been having problems with back and hip pain recently and wondered if a change of seating would help.

My old granny chair as one of my colleagues calls it was just the thing. I sat here for hours yesterday, with barely a shuffle, it seemed I only moved to change projects and threads. When it got cooler in the evening I pulled the curtains and wrapped myself in that cosy looking quilt and continued to sew using my lamp. Perfect!

What did I sew? I used some of this beautiful De Haviland Embroidery thread.

To do a little stitching for my SSCS project.

Yes I know it's not much of a picture, but if I showed, then it wouldn't be secret would it?

Then, because I was so comfortable and wanted to stay put I decided to revisit my cross stitch.

If you remember this one came to me already started. I've done quite a bit of it though and keep pecking away at it now and then. I have to say I'll be glad when it is finished. Yesterday and last night I really enjoyed working on it though, it was lovely and felt like I had slowed down a bit. Bliss.

Today I have a late shift at work, having slept in until almost 10am I've had a late start too! I plan to work some more on my SSCS project and depending on how things go, maybe a little knitting.

Thanks for the get well wishes for the cold, it's not come to much, I was worried as some of my colleagues took time off with it, but I seem to have a milder dose.

I'm off to play.
