Mini Magical Mystery SAL 14 - Part 8

Welcome back for day eight of the fourteenth round of mystery stitching! As I was sitting here wondering what to write today the sirens went off as they always do on the first Monday of the month at midday - reminding me that I'd been lost in thought and it was now suddenly midday. It's an old relic from the WWII really, though it was started up a bit afterwards to make sure that the mechanical sirens still worked and to keep them in working order. Later it changed from hand cranked to electrically cranked and later still to digital recordings which rendered the need to test the sirens obsolete. People had complained that they were still being tested so long after the war and the siren testing was stopped for a while but it was started up again as people complained that it had stopped and also because people didn't know what it meant when the sirens were used locally to warn people when something went wrong like an overturned gas lorry (truck) and they should stay indoors till the air was safe to breath. I have to say that I missed the sirens when they were not happening, I wasn't the only one apparently. Any ways... enough short history! On to the reason for this (now very late) post...
This is what mine looks like after stitching day seven.

You can find today's pattern here.

Have fun and I'll be back tomorrow with the next part of the Mini Magical Mystery SAL 14 and the Weavers Animals Band Sampler SAL!
