Ariadne SAL

After finishing L*K Halloween ABCs it was time to get HAED Ariadne out for the SAL weekend.  I do try to stitch on her for a week rather than just the weekend so probably got her out on Wednesday.  Quite pleased with my progress but of course would have liked time to do more and finish the page.

Ariadne by Rachel Anderson charted by Heaven and Earth Designs

Stitched on 18ct Magic Guide Aida 

I'll let you into a little secret - Ariadne has the odd grey hair!  The last 1000 stitches I had left are all confetti stitches hence the reason I didn't get the page finished.

This week I will be working on Elisa's RR which will be my last one but it has been fun.

Until next time, happy stitching

Love Lesleyanne

A FINISH / TUSAL / IHSW

I forgot to sign up for IHSW but participated anyway.  I managed to finish my ornament, Little House Needleworks Cardinal Winter.

It is also time to show my TUSAL jar and this is what it looks like as of today.  I am a bit late with my photo though.

Unfortunately my stitching and commenting mojo went during the week after the sad news of my Uncle's death so I apologise if I haven't commented on your blog post.  I did read most of them but didn't really feel like commenting.  I have tried catching up since.  He was my mum's last living sibling so as you can imagine she is very devastated as she has lost both of her "baby" brothers in a very short time.

I have received two lovely RAKs this week which really made my day.  From Lesli I received HAED QS Midnight Tender which is one of my favourites as I love the colours.

The owner of Heaven and Earth Designs also sent me Mini Rose Angel, a chart that was on my wish list, as she has been sending as Freebie Fairy to a lot of ladies on Facebook.

I look forward to stitching both of these charts and feel very lucky indeed to have received them.  Thank you both.

It is the summer holidays now for my two boys and the sun has finally put in an appearance and we have had lovely weather the last couple of days, long may it continue.

I am off now to stitch on Ariadne, which I am finding very hard to put down.

Until next time, happy stitching

Ariadne SAL

Here is my progress on my Ariadne SAL on Facebook.  I stitched on her Monday to Monday using 18 ct magic guide aida 2 x 1.  I am pleased with my progress and hope to stitch on her later on in May.

This week I am working some more on my Round Robin piece as the mailing date is getting nearer and as it is IHSW, click the link if you want to join, I am hoping to work on my Ornament SAL with Angela.

Come back next week as I am going to have a giveaway for my blogaversary and 200+ followers and have something a little special to offer but more about that next week.

Until next time, happy stitching

Be Good!

I have worked on my Heaven & Earth Be Good design this week as it was calling me. I am enjoying this but can only work on certain colours as I am waiting for my thread pack to arrive. I am not so sure I shall like the rest of page one as there are a lot of a couple of stitches here and a couple of stitches there but so far so good.



Short and sweet from me this week.

Until next time, happy stitching
