Christmas Is.... Finished!

I finished my Lizzie Kate Christmas Is this week for my Christmas Design SAL. I think I may stitch LHN Poinsettia House next for this SAL. I have got a bigger design on order so will stitch that afterwards. It is stitched on 28 ct Summer Khaki Linen using DMC threads.



I have also been stitching on my Sampler Girl's Jane Austen at Home SAL with Sally, Barb, Tracy and Hazel. This is this weekend's progress.



Whilst out shopping the other day I came across some square frames the right size for my monthly LHN Ornie SAL, although I don't intend framing them all, I did want to frame "Snowy Pines" and will also want to frame the next one out, "Red House in Winter", I LOVE this one. So I brought three frames and framed Snowy Pines yesterday whilst watching Doctor Who. I have to say I am quite pleased with how it turned out. I just have to decide where it is going now.

Until next time, Happy Stitching.

Not a lot!

of stitching going on that is. For some reason this week I haven't felt like doing ANYTHING - not stitching, not facebook, not housework (not that thats new), nothing. However at the weekend I picked up a bit and finished my LHN Ornie "Snowy Pines".



I did stitch on Lanarte Poppy on Monday but not enough to show a picture.

I am going to have a new start on Monday - All Our Yesterdays, The Lighthouse. I have had this for some time and now also have another similar design from All our Yesterdays from a magazine, can't remember which one, that I also want to stitch so I thought I would make a start on one of them and decided on the Lighthouse because I have had it the longest.


Until next time, happy stitching.

Home Sweet Home Back!

I picked up CCN's Home Sweet Home from the framers today. I have to say I'm really pleased with the job they did on it.



This is my progress on Dimensions Row of Love. I must apologise for the state it's in - its needs a wash and an iron. I can't believe the fabric looks as mucky as it does. I wouldn't mind but I keep it in a zipped clear wallet so not quite sure how its come to be in this state.



I also had a new start this week. It's LHN Ornie SAL "Snowy Pines". I started this as I took my sons swimming lessons and then carried it on on Sunday when my eldest son went for his grading in Karate. It was not how I planned my Mother's Day but he achieved his orange belt so am very pleased. I have to say I have really loved stitching this week especially since I didn't get any visits from the frogs and on Row of Love I have passed the part where I had to fudge it because of the previous mistake.



This week in my rotation it is the turn of the Lanarte Poppy and I can't wait to work on it some more.

Until next time, happy stitching.
