Poppy Progress!

This is the progress on my Lanarte Poppy for the last two weeks. I seem to have one week where not a lot is done and then the second week there seems to be more. I think I am about half way through this now. It is really lovely to stitch. I did have to frog a couple of times. When I picked it up I noticed I had stitched one small block in the wrong colour so before I could start I had to unpick this and stitch it in the right shade. I am hoping with a bit of luck my mojo is back and I can get back to one project for a week.



I have read that Little House Needleworks are doing another twelve ornaments next year so may carry on with these next year depends how I get on with making them into ornaments lol.

This week I am going to be stitching on Peppermint Twist on my Christmas Design SAL.

Until next time, happy stitching.

Poppy Progress!

This is my progress for this week on my Lanarte Poppy. I do enjoy stitching this and could quite easily carry on with it.

I did stitch on LHN Red House in Winter but unfortuantely I made so many mistakes on it I have decided to bin it. I had managed to fudge a couple of mistakes I made but on the third and uncorrectable it went flying across the room lol. I seem to do this with littler projects so might just carry on with my bigger projects for now and try again later in the year.

It is the Christmas Design SAL next week and I have a new start. I will be stitching Blue Ribbon Design's Peppermint Twist and am looking forward to this. Just have to decide on my fabric. Can't design between Summer Khaki 28ct Linen or nice old cream 14ct aida. No doubt I will decide by tomorrow.

It is bank holiday monday tomorrow so no work for me so a little extra time stitching.

Until next time happy stitching

Poppy Progress!

I have worked on my Lanarte's Poppy this week. I haven't done an awful lot because I managed to get a summer cold so although the mind was willing the body wasn't. Apologies for the bad picture - not quite sure what went wrong this time.



Unfortuantely over the weekend my cold became a little worse and I wasn't able to work on my At Home with Jane Austen SAL but will hopefully will catch up next week.

I shall be working on my LHN Ornie SAL this week, Winter Sheep. I want to get this completed as I have had an email to say the next ornie, Red House in Winter, is ready to be shipped and I know I will want to stitch this as soon as I receive it.

Until next time, happy stitching.

Poppy Progress!

This is my progress on Lanarte's Poppy. I didn't seem to get an awful lot of time during the week to sit down and stitch so stitched on this Saturday (not much) and Sunday when it felt like I had made much more progress. This meant that I didn't touch my LHN Ornie so will have to crack on with it next weekend before the next on comes out.

I have been thinking about the months with five weeks in it. As my rotation is a four week rotation I was thinking about what I could do in week five and I have to say I was VERY tempted to have a new start and just work on it when there was a five week month but decided that I would work on my Lanarte Poppy for the extra week as it missed out for such a long time. Surprising what pops into your mind when your stitching lol!

I have ordered some linen (I think) in 28 ct Summer Khaki and Ice Blue. I brought the Summer Khaki so that my Lizzie Kate christmas designs are all on the same fabric (I think I may have an idea how these could be framed together) and the ice blue is for the LHN Ornie "He's a flake" and a couple of other snowmen I have in my stash to do.

Until next time, happy stitching.

Lizzie Kate Ho Ho Ho Progress!

This is my progress for the Christmas Design SAL which is the first week of the month (Monday to Friday). It is Lizzie Kate Special Edition 2007 Ho Ho Ho. I was very pleased with my progress.

I received my second ornament for the LHN Ornie SAL this week and made a start on it on Saturday. I hope to do some more today after I have tackled mount ironmore and cooked the dinner.

On Monday it is week two of my rotation and so I get to work on my Lanarte Poppy which I haven't worked on since mid July so am really looking forward to stitching on it. The picture below is where I was when I last stitched on it. I can't believe it has been so long.




We still have snow here but we haven't been as badly hit as some other parts of the UK.

Hope you all have a good weekend and happy stitching.
