Thank you Julia for listening to your friends and having us over every week..... and once a year appearing in person!!!
Really looking forward to this year's Crop, nothing beats a meet up in person.
The desk...
Swap Coins sorting ...... Anniversary ATCs hidden at back!
For those who commented about Rhoda - The Rhode Island Red Chicken - here she is in all her beauty. We had several breeds: 2 x Amber Links which were named Amber and Bianca (they were white!!!), 2 x Colombian Black Tails named Columbine and Deidre (we ran out of significant names! lol).
Rhoda now rules the roost, lays the occasional egg and keeps us amused.

If you asked to swap then expect an email requesting your address pretty soon!!!
Have a great week.....
Wow, I like how you have some real greenery at the back of your desk. It looks rather busy, too.
ReplyDeleteLoved how you explained about Rhoda, and little man is a real cutie. That cross stitch made my fingers ache (grin). Happy 10th from # 4.
Rhonda is definitely a fine specimen! Good progress with the cross stitch and grand-baby looking very cute! I bet he keeps you on your toes! Happy anniversary, Christine! zsuzsa #26
ReplyDeleteHi Christine, we can swap at the Crop, save us postage, lol. Love your stitching, looking great. See you next week, looking forward to it. Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz #7 X
ReplyDeleteThat little man is adorable. So looking forward to seeing you at the crop. Happy 10 year WOYWW anniversary. Have a great week. Love & God Bless, Caro x (#27)
ReplyDeleteOh yes Rhoda really is in her element, i'd love to have chickens but i'm sure my Neighbours would have something to complain about. Love your cross stitch, it's been a long time since I did any probably 15 years or more I would say. My MIL has her's framed and they are on every wall. Fabulous downtime activity.

GS2 is so cute! Looking forward to meeting again at the crop, and swapping, I have enough for everyone who is going (as far as I can tell, but I have plenty!) Happy WOYWW Helen #1
ReplyDeleteYour desk looks great Christine! I hope to see lots more photos of GS2 at the crop! Hugs, Chrisx
ReplyDeleteBlimey, GS2 is shooting up! How lovely to take him out and have fun. Your stitching is looking good, so detailed....I enjoyed meeting Rhoda too!

Happy WOYWW 10 year anniversary! Very nice cross stitch panel. That's a lot of work! Please email me your mailing address when you get the chance. I'm excited to send my ATC. My email is doorknocker3@yahoo.com Dorlene #42 right above you :)
ReplyDeleteHappy 10th WOYWW to you! Lovely to see your cross-stitching. I recently took all my cross stitching down from my walls and kept only a very few pieces and the rest went to the charity shop ... think I regret it now though, of course, but, hey-ho, too late now! G52 ... the name intrigues me? Love to you from Debbie #25 xXx
ReplyDeleteHi Christine, loving Rhoda, she looks like a proper little madam! I'm really late as I was forced to go out with friends today to drink coffee and eat scones.... I could hardly say no! but it has made me late getting round. I said I would like to swap and I do have an address for you from 2016 but not sure if it's still the same. You can use my contact form on my blog if you like. Wishing you a lovely woyww and a happy creative week with hugs, Angela x19X
ReplyDeleteHi Christine, love your Chook she is splendid!! I wish I could still stitch but eyes not really up to it anymore. Happy 10th Anniversary, Cindy #44
ReplyDeleteHappy 10th WOYWW birthday Christine. The stitching is coming on brilliantly. Enjoy half term with GS2! See you soon. Sarah #3
ReplyDeleteRhoda is a good looking girl isn't she, I love the idea of keeping chickens and having fresh eggs - perhaps one day! Your embroidery is beautiful, such a lovely design.
ReplyDeleteHappy 10th anniversary,

Hi Christine. sorry I am late visiting. Happy 10th WOYWW anniversary. Love the cross-stitching. I really need to finish a piece I started ... in 2012 when my first grandchild was born. My daughters rib me about it constantly as I now have 3 grandchildren! It's so detailed it makes my eyes hurt! Ah well, maybe I can give it him on his 21st birthday! I'm taking ATCs to the crop, so if you have a spare one we can swap there if you like (I can't remember if we agreed to swap or not - bad memory)! Have a lovely week, Heather x #30
ReplyDeleteHappy 10th! Rhoda! as I robyn I can relate! show us those ATC's! robyn 6
ReplyDeleteHI Christine :) I am totally impressed you name your chickens. they do have their own personalities though but, we have not named ours. :) Happy Anniversary! ~Stacy #35
ReplyDeleteHappy 10th WOYWW anniversary - see you soon! xx Jo
ReplyDeleteSorry I’m late! Lovely light on your desk, how nice a place to work! Bet you still feel smug when you go in there after all that hard work. I like the coin ATCs,wonder where that idea came from. I will be able to ask you in person next week! Your stitching is gorgeous and coming along at a pace, mine only gets a look in at craft club and on holidays, each of those involve chatting more than stitching!!
ReplyDeleteThe Woyww-list is quite long in this anniversary-week and I want to visit everyone on it, so I am still making my round... sorry I am late but it is nice to read your post and see Rhoda run around on a Sunday. Have a nice day. Happy late-woyww-anniversary, hug from Holland. Marit #16
ReplyDeleteHi Christine - Sorry to be so late commenting, blogger wasn't playing for me!! Happy 10th anniversary! That stitching is great. I used to love doing cross stitch - now I can't see the holes!! Age, I'm afraid - mine, not the fabric's!!!
ReplyDeleteSee you at the crop.
Take care. God bless.
