IHSW / TUSAL

I am very late posting my progress for IHSW. Just haven't had time or batteries in the camera. I am pleased with my progress on Vervaco's Pink Lady with Red Rose. I would have love to have made more over the weekend but just didn't seem to be able to sit down and concentrate on it for some reason but I am going to carry on this week as I don't seem to be able to stop even though I have some Easter designs to stitch and have brought some GORGEOUS backing material for it.



It is also time to post my TUSAL and this is pictured below.



Short and sweet from me today, want to go and stitch and watch the tennis.

Until next time, happy stitching

Love Lesleyanne

Thank You!

I want to start this post by saying Thank You to everyone that left a comment on my last post. I really appreciate your kindness and support and it meant a lot to me. Thank You.

After the weekend I tried again with Retro Lady but again her glove was still not right so she has gone in the cupboard until the lighter nights. I was so cross with myself but am not completely sure it is me or the chart so I have emailed the designer and she has sent a black and white copy so will use that when I decide I can face her again.

I was also mad at myself because I put that I was going to order from an LNS but I wasn't it was an ONS and then ordered from one that didn't put the threads on bobbins - so MAD with myself again. I was in a terrible mood on Tuesday but I picked up my Vervaco Pink lady with Red Rose and all was calm lol.

She is coming along lovely and so much so I didn't stitch an ornament this weekend partly because I couldn't decide which one lol and partly because I was enjoying Pink Lady so much.

Without further ado here is my progress.

I have stitched on the feather boa so think I have made good progress.

Until next time, happy stitching

Progress & New Start!

My stitching week didn't go quite as planned last week. Unfortunately my diabetes seemed to knock me for six and left my absolutely shattered most evenings so I only stitched a little most nights, forcing myself to at least put a few stitches in.

Monday and Friday night is L*K Lovers SAL night. I carried on working on ABC Halloween.



Tuesday and Thursday evening I stitched on CCN A Bee C Sampler. I hate the material I am stitching this on. It is good old 16 ct aida but it is really rough.



Saturday morning after sitting at the computer for a small time I got up from the chair and hurt my back. Nothing too serious but I decided the best thing to do was to rest it as it was quite painful. So for all of Saturday and all of Sunday I stitched on my new start, Vervaco Pink Flapper with Red Rose. The frogs paid a little visit and I have done some unpicking but am really pleased with my progress but it is not something that will happen often. I have somelovely aida for this, I am not sure if you can see but it is has pink roses printed on it.



This is what it will hopefully look like when I finished it.



On Wednesday, as I had my partner's name in the Rotating Designer Exchange, I was looking through Prarie Schooler patterns trying to decide what to stitch. I think I have decided and will probably start stitching it sooner rather than later.

Until next time, happy stitching
