Whippeee - Dippy Has Arrived

Part 8 of Serendipity - the freebie in 9 parts - from Papillon arrived today. Everything may just get put on one side tomorrow. If I have anytime for stitching I think I will just have to do this.
Stitching time will be limited tomorrow however. Firstly I have to go into work for a couple of hours in the morning, after almost 4 weeks off I can barely see my desk for the workload so its really just too try and plough my way through some of the easiest things to get the load down as quickly as possible.
Tomorrow is the longest day and also most importantly of all the sunshine in my life, who goes by the name of Oscar will be 5 years old tomorrow. Tomorrow evening we are having a small family suprise party for him at his daddy's bistro. For him though the important party will be Sunday when all his school friends will be at the house for a Pirates Party. My other task tomorrow is to make his birthday cake - a pirates treasure chest. I know what I want to achieve but quite how I will do it Im not sure yet lol. Anyway thought there ought to be a picture of the main pirate so here it is trying to look fierce -
Happy Birthday Oz
On the stitching front I have kept stitching and though I have not achieved an awful lot I have enjoyed what I have done. Firstly a little more of the Le Temps Qui Passe . And secondly a little more of AOY . I have also done a little more on my UFO but I am finding this a struggle as the frame is very large. Unfortunately because I have added the beads as I went along I cannot take it off the frame and put it onto a hoop or a Q-snap which would make life a lot easier. Still it is growing though very very slowly and I can see that it will be finished in the not to distant future, so I am feeling very optomistic about it.
Once again a big thank you to all of those who visit my blog and even more so to those who are kind enough to leave a comment it really is appreciated.
