I had not given a single thought to what I would do for this FNWF, until about 5 minutes before I parked myself on My Spot on the sofa.
I wanted a little break from doing hexy's, but I also wanted to sit with the family as they watched telly.
Hhmmm, what to do?!
I realised a few months back that I miss cross stitching, & so I plan to do a bit more of it this year.
(Yes I am still toiling with the Seaside Scene cross stitch; but like a naughty toddler, it's testing my patience!)

I'm sending my Best Wishes (but not my warmest!) to all my blogland friends in the parts of Australia who are getting some terrible heat right now. I know records broke in Tassie on Friday, and several other States are suffering badly too. While we expect to get hot weather, in summer, in Australia... this is a bit ridiculous. Let's hope it doesn't last long.

Do you see a squashed-looking face as you look at the glass? Or is it just my strange mind?!

Lovely to have a quiet night stitching in front of the tv. The weather is awful, hope it cools down for everyone soon.
lovely change came through Melbourne at last, might still warm a little later. Hope your heat wave has broken.

Cross stitch always looks so effective Anthea. I have a weird mind too, I can see that face! Haha Sharyn:)
It's a little cooler this morning but I think the heat will be back soon enough.....I too can see a squished face in your glass,weird huh! Love the angel you're working on,would you be interested in some of my cross stitch books I havefound while going through my shelves in my sewing room,I haven't worked on a cross stitch for over 13 years lol:) Barb.
Hi Anthea, I'm not quite melted yet but boys its been hot. Tassie isn't supposed to be this hot. Today is much better but it is only 8am.
Your cross stitch is so cute.
Love the cross stitch. Hugs,xx.
Definitely a face in that glass, Anthea!! Good on you for spotting it. Your angel is quite lovely even though a lot of work. Enjoy.
Nice having your company last night. Did it feel good to get back to cross stitching...AND sit with family! Looks like it did :)

Great progress on the cross stitch. I have just discovered I love doing small cross stitch projects. There is definitely a little face there.

Your cross stitch looks beautiful; you are so patient working those tiny stitches :-) I can see the little face as well lol!
Yep I do see the face too. Sort of smiling too. Enjoy your CS Anthea.
Poor melted man in the glass! I sometimes think I should pick up some cross stitching . . but it usually passes in favour of stitcheries. Always nice to have something fairly easy to do while vegging in front of the TV.
Love the cross stitch Anthea.
I bet that man in the glass is nice and cool...
your Angel is beautiful and I am sure you will be glad you persisted.
Your cross stitch looks lovely
I also plan on doing more cross stitch this year. I may even finish my one I started in 2005
Cross stitch is beautiful but I'm not quite patient enough to do much now. Your angel looks gorgeous! Tracee xx
I enjoyed stitching along with my bloggy friends last night.
Nice cross stitch Anthea.
Yep I can see the face.
I am thinking of our fellow Aussies in Tasmania..Very sad..
haha, I DO see a squashed face!
Bonnee Année from France,
Fiona
I see the face. Your cross stitch angel is adorable!
Can I say lovely cross-stitching when I know nothing about what makes a good or poor cross-stitch? Oh well it looks pretty to my eyes and lots of progress too :) Thank you for the cool wishes Anthea, much appreciated. I like your weird face, bit scary but I noticed it before I read you last comment, lol
Definitely a man in that glass!
Love the 'calm' poster on your sidebar.
I've promised myself to finish some of the incomplete cross stitches around here this year.
Your angel looks gorgeous.
Hi Anthea,
You're so right about this weather. After weeks of 40C+ we have actually had rain today. However, it is starting to get hot and sticky again. Just adore your stitching, it is a lovely design.
Cheers, Anita.
I also see the squashed face. We must be all wierd together! Lovely angel cross stitch.
There is so a squashed face in that glass..the angel is going to be lovely...like the blog makeover, must be makeover season...
Lovely cross stitch. It's so relaxing to do. I'm hoping to do a more more of it this year too.
That face in the glass looks like the Man In The Moon to me. Funny that... it being daylight and all....:o)
Hi Anthea,
I too see a face, perhaps we are both mad!! lol
I too miss cross stitch and have many unfinished projects i hope to add a few stitches to this year!! Cathyx
