Rewind

We had a sprinkling more snow on Thursday , then it froze and has done nothing else since . So we have an ice rink out on the street if anyone wants to bring their skates .

Back to the Chicken Run sampler , I have got permission from the couple that received it to show their pictures , so here's the finished article with it's new owners.

Lisa made these figures herself to go on top of one of the wedding cakes .

I have to say , that it was the most fun formal wedding I have ever been to , so Thanks Lisa and Phil for letting us share your special day.

Back soon , thanks for dropping by ,

TA DA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I put the last few stitches into Chicken Run yesterday . I really enjoyed stitching it , and in some ways I'm sad to finish, but at least I've got plenty of time to get it framed before the big day .Tried to do some arty shots . I'm not too sure , but you get the idea , lol.

It is personalised with the names and date but I'm not going to show that without the couples' permission , which I will hopefully get at the wedding. So , it's off to the framers tomorrow .

Today , I'm enjoying a couple of hours peace as the kids have gone back to school and nursery , bliss !

Thanks for dropping by ,

On the Run .

Hi everyone , thanks for all the comments ,and welcome to my new followers , I hope you enjoy seeing my crafty bits and other stuff.

A while ago , I asked if anyone knew where I could get a chart from the film "Chicken Run" , I had no joy , but really wanted to stitch one as ... a wedding sampler . Yes . you did read that right. A friend of my husbands is getting married , and his fiancee is mad on Chicken Run and has a whole collection of stuff ,so I thought it would be a unique gift for them.

So ,the only thing for it was to design my own . I have played about designing bits and bobs here and there , but this is the biggest project so far . I've got two computer designing programmes, but still prefer the good old fashioned way .

So what started out as this : (downloaded from the net )

Became this :

Then this :

And is slowly becoming this :

The wedding is 9th October ,so I have to get the stitching finished at least a couple of weeks before then to allow time for framing. I am feeling the pressure a bit with the deadline , but I'm happy with how it's going . I added a few bits , like the flowers , ring and Ginger will get a garter too , lol. I started stitching last Monday night , but did nothing on it at all Friday , Saturday or this Monday . Tuesday I had all day to stitch as the kids were out with their Grandma and also stayed the night . Yet to see if I get any done tonight though.

Thanks for dropping by , come back soon for pics of an exchange and from our visit to Matlock Bath today .

Take care ,

Cath
