Coffee for a coffee addict

I've been stitching on Coffee Menu by Little House Needleworks. I started it last year as something small to do when I was cat-sitting Polo and somehow it got put aside. It's a fast stitch though so I picked it up to get it finished. It's on 32ct Oyster from Countrystitch, and I changed the two ladies so one is dark haired (like me) and one has fair hair (like several of my closest friends!) I'll change some of the words too - I want 'Flat white' and 'Iced coffee' in there if possible.


I'm also stitching on small things because summer has arrived - sort of. It's muggy and humid but there's no sun. Just lots and lots of rain and grey skies. I don't mind - it keeps it a little cooler and seems to stop the local dogs/screeching kids/DIYers/neighboring jazz band from making quite as much noise (it's honestly quieter living in London than where we are in Auckland). But it does mean stitching has slowed down - partly because it's too humid to hold large bits of fabric and partly because I can't sleep and I'm pretty exhausted!

We did sleep well last night though. We sold our spare bed so moved our bed into the spare room, which is much cooler. It was bliss! It's quieter too. We're selling everything spare we can - getting organised to go home...
