I didn't get chance to post on Sunday, but I actually got some serious time in on the tapestry and also made flapjacks and banana cake.
This evening I did a little more on the tapestry. The dolphin is nearing completion - a few odd bits with just a few stitches and then the tail fin left to do. Then it's back to working on the background - moving towards the sea and its waves/ripples etc. Once I've got the odd bits in the dolphin done, I'll be able to wind up about 3 inches maybe 4 which should put the bottom of the tapestry in sight.
I've found 4 possible cross-stitches for the upcoming baby so now I just need to decide which is the right one for the occasion ( 3 more are Winnie the Pooh related and the other is a scene from Disney's Jungle Book - decisions decisions!). I had hoped to get a few more Christmas cards stitched but if I'm going to manage the bigger project, I don't think I have time for both.
In other good news, it appears that all the repairs in the bathroom have been successful (should I keep quiet about that... am I tempting fate? Oh well, too late now *wink*)
