Gone riding...

We're off on a little holiday. Once upon a time Flipper and I could take a mountain bike and a road bike each. nowadays we have to choose only one bike to take. Otherwise we'd have to choose to leave the kids behind!

I will be taking a little bit of hand sewing to work on while we're away. I'm joining Sanae and Ute (and 96 other people) again for the Secret Valentine Exchange, and since it's an international affair, postage is slow and I'm away from the machines I thought I'd inflict some cross stitch on my valentine. (poor love)

I've never tried it before, but I was intrigued by the water soluble canvas and since that allows me to use fabric from the stash (all my linen type fabrics were too beige for my gift recipient's tastes!) I'm going to give it a go. At least my messy back will be covered once I've finished my project...

To celebrate being on holiday, and just 'cause it's long overdue, I gave the blog an overhaul and finally created some pages. I hope it makes it easier to find stuff, at least I think it will for me...

See you after I've ridden some hills!
