Waiting room stitching.

Life has been rather hectic again and I've not really had much free time to stitch in the evenings. I have managed to get some stitching done though....yes, I'm spending lots of time in various doctors waiting rooms again! I picked up the free kit with this months World Of Cross Stitching magazine and slipped it into my bag for the first of what turned out to be quite a few different doctors appointments with my hubby.  Thank heavens for these free kits, they are the perfect size for popping into a bag and with the threads already pre-cut and a needle already enclosed, they really are sanity saving!

Here's what I stitched while waiting for my hubby....


...so, looking on the bright side of things, I have made a start on my Christmas stitching! Now if only my hubby had been five or ten minutes longer at his last appointment I might have actually managed to finish all the cross stitching....twelve stitches to go...how very inconsiderate of him to come out before I had finished! ;)


So a few more stitches and then the back stitching and I'll have my first Christmas card made!

Until next time...happy stitching!

Very cute card!! You are lucky that your husband made his doctor appointments entertaining for you. Your needles should have moved faster than doctor's to complete the card :) lol:)

Sorry to hear you're back in the waiting rooms but at least you have something lovely to show for it. Those cover kits are great for handbags!

Stitching is great for passing the time at doctors and hospitals. These are cute cards too.
