Hi everyone,
I have lots of things to report on in this post.
Firstly, I would like to thank all my new followers and say thank you for all the lovely comments and interest in my blog. I would just like to invite people to join the giveaway if they haven't already. It closes on Friday, 19th August. You can check out how to join on the
previous post to this one.
Next, I have some progress on my HAED project Holbein's Henry VIII:

It doesn't look like much but I am pleased with how I am going.
I have also been working on this little Baboushka doll design from Lanarte, which I picked up at
Lazy Daisy:
I am really enjoying working on this - the colours are really pretty and it is really easy to stitch. Sweet, isn't it?
Next, I have been doing some more baking - last weekend I made a Lemon Syrup Cake and today I made a Black Magic Cake and a Lasagne:

I have been doing lots of swimming lately, as I am trying to keep my fitness up. My blood pressure is up far too high at the moment (I have been working very hard), so swimming, cross stitching, blogging, baking, playing with my kittens and reading are helping me to de-stress. If you scroll down the sidebar of my blog, you will see my goal laps. It is the distance between Melbourne and New York, which is where DH and I are planning to take our next holiday, next year. The number of laps is 666560 and I have done 1062 so far! A long way still to go.
So, lastly, here are a couple of kitten photos:

Anyway, that's it for me tonight - I need to do some stitching!
Bye for now, Kaye xoxox

There is truly nothing better than stitching and baking. I try to do my share of both.
The kitties are adorable!
LOL at Furio in the little basket - our Freddy Fat Cat used to do things like that... in fact, what am I saying! He STILL does things like that, giant that he is :)
I love your pictures, Kaye.... and that cake looks so yummy!!
@ Peggy Lee, yes, they are both great pastimes aren't they? And I love my kittens.
@Joysze, yes, it was yummy!
Oh, Kaye, everything looks delicious. (Well, everything but the cats, lol.) Now I'm wanting Lasagna. Thanks for that, lol. I love your babushka. It's darling. And Henry the Eighth is moving along. Your cats are darling. Don't you just love it when they get along! Love the basket pic too. With my Yes Dear, it's boxes. She loves to go in boxes. Silly thing!!
You sure can stitch. Scratch the cats for me.
