Back from the Framers!

I took Mini Be Good for Goodness Sake to the framers on Monday.  They said it would be about a week before it would be ready.  Okay I thought no problem but had a phone call on Wednesday to say it was ready.

As is normal the photo doesn't really do it justice.  I am so very pleased with it.  Just waiting for my Dad to put a nail in the wall at the top of my stairs so he can be put up, all year round.

I am currently working on my Ornament Christmas Dreams and have nearly finished the page!

Until next time, happy stitching

Merry Christmas and a Finish!

I have been stitching like a mad woman and have finally finished my first Heaven and Earth Designs chart. To say I am thrilled would be an understatement. I loved stitching this piece apart from page 2 where I had a little wobble and vowed never to stitch on it again. But I put my big girl pants on and filled all the silly little squares I had left, lesson learnt, and soon got into the swing of it. So without further ado my I present Mini Be Good for Goodness Sake, artwork by Dona Gelsinger, chart by Heaven and Earth Designs. I stitched it on 18ct magic guide aida using 2 threads over one square.

I was also very honoured to be asked to stitch a square on Sally's 50th Birthday quilt. I hope Sally doesn't mind but I have borrowed her picture of the completed quilt and my square. Lainey and Mouse organised this lovely surprise for Sally with Mouse making up the quilt. Thank you both for asking me to take part. I stitched Littlehouse Needleworks Joy and Peace which I thought was very appropriate given Sally's love of sheep.

I would like to end this rather long post by wishing all my readers a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year. I really do appreciate you taking the time out to visit my blog and leave me a comment. They really make my day. Love Lesleyanne xxx

AWOL

Sorry I have been a bit quiet lately.  I was very busy stitching on my husband's logo trying to get it finished for his birthday.  I did!  It is now at the framers but I forgot to take a photograph before taking it there.
Once I get it back I will take a photo.

Once I finished the logo I got back to stitching Mini Be Good for Goodness Sake and have now finished another page.  I have three partial pages left but the next page is very confetti heavy so I think it might take a while.

I had last week off and managed to get my Christmas shopping done.  It is all wrapped and now I just have to write my Christmas cards.

Until next time, happy stitching

Mini Be Good for Goodness Sake

I have FINALLY finished pages 1 and 2 of Mini Be Good for Goodness Sake.  It was a tough page but I think it looks great.

I am going to have to work on the Chelsea logo now.

Until next time, happy stitching
