Had the time to get lots of stitching done this week and without hurting my shoulder or my neck.  I’ve put in just over three columns since moving onto the next page.  There’s a lot more of the dragon beginning to appear, he looks to me like he’s having lots of fun riding on that engine.  The engine itself is done and the coupling has just been put in for what should be the coal truck, in this picture it’s the chocolate truck.  There were lots of little fiddly colour changes around the dragon’s night-cap but it was worth it because it looks so cute.

I’m taking a break from the train now to stitch some more of Faces of Faery #70.  International Fairy Day is on the 24th June so I shall take the time to work some more on my little pouting fairy.

The garden is still alive, still cultivating weeds which need to be pulled up regularly.  We’ve had some beautiful red roses open and the pansies are doing really well, it’s a shame the weather is not so good at the moment it needs some really nice sunshine to show off the colours.
