Shores and a finish

Just thought I would show my completed block 2 of Shores of Hawk Run Hollow. I didn't really enjoy stitching this block but now that it is done I like the way it looks. I am going to have a couple of nights stitching on one of my Ink Circles pieces and then I will start on block 3.

I also finished the first LHN monthly thread pack, although I did leave off the french knots on the snowman, I may add beads later on. This was such a relaxing stitch and I want to get on to the February one which I have already stitched once, then I need to order the next two from the U.S.

I won't have  a lot of stitching time this week as I am at work until Thursday and then we are going to Great Yarmouth for the weekend. It is the 25th anniversary of the Queen fan Club convention and as DH is a big Queen fan we are going for the weekend - it is held at a holiday park so we will be staying in a caravan. I hope that I will get to do some stitching while I am there!

I am also hoping that we will get time to find and visit my grandmother's grave as she is buried in Great Yarmouth . . I only have vague memories of her as I was only 8 when she died ( she died in1967). It would be nice to see the grave and leave some flowers, I would like to get a photo if that is possible as my mum has never been to see the grave.

I have decided that I don't have enough new starts and am going to stitch a wedding sampler for a work colleague. The design I have chosen is Bride's Bouquet by Lili Soleil which is available on the Creative Poppy site. What do people think? Is it a good choice? I was a bit stuck as the colour scheme and everything about the wedding is top secret so I thought I would go with something traditional.
thanks for reading and once again for the lovely comments. I have really become much more motivated with my stitching since I have been posting more regularly on here and the comments really help.
