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.

Mini Be Good for Goodness Sake

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

Tusal - November

Another month, another picture of my orts, on the right date too.

There is a lot of blue and white because of the Chelsea Logo I am stitching.  I have finished another page but forgot to take a picture before I started the next and hopefully last full page.

When I nipped outside to take a photo of my orts I noticed my Mother's Day rose is in flower, not a sight I expected to see and if you look closely you can see some more buds.  I don't know whether they will flower as it is getting colder but still a lovely sight to see on this cold November afternoon.

I am in a bit of a blogging slump with reading and leaving comments.  I will hopefully get caught up soon.

Until next time, happy stitching and thank you to those that leave comments on my posts.  I really do appreciate them and don't say it often enough.

Another Page Finish

I have another page finish on the Chelsea Football Club logo.  I am stitching this for my husband and am going to keep working on it until it is finished.  I would like it done by 1st December as it is his birthday.  Not sure if I can get it stitched and framed but am going to try.

I am a bit behind on blog reading but hope to catch up soon.  I am trying to limit my time on the computer so that I can get as much stitching done as possible.

Until next time, happy stitching

Tusal - October

Yay!  I am posting on the right day!  Here is my Tusal for October, to find out more information about this pop over to Daffycat's blog.  As you can see it is mainly threads from Mini Be Good for Goodness Sake.  I thought I would photograph it next to my sedum just for a change.

As we were going away for the weekend to celebrate our 21st Wedding Anniversary I haven't really done any stitching.  We were REALLY lucky and had gorgeous weather.  It was warm enough not to need to wear jackets just short sleeves.  Now I am home I have a lot of blog reading to catch up.

Hopefully I shall get some stitching done this week even if it is only on the dreaded football logo lol.

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

Tusal / Stitching Progress

Another month another late Tusal post but better late than never. It is mainly orts from my stitching on Mini Ariadne who I absolutely love stitching on.

 I have completed another page on her.

Page 5 completed.

Design as a whole

I will be working on the football logo next after I am trying to fill in the odd stitches on Mini Be Good for Goodness sake. In my inexperience I have odd stitches here and there so am trying to fill them in.  There are about fifty of them yuck.

Until next time, happy stitching

I hope this looks okay as I am using my tablet because my computer is poorly. PS it looked awful so have borrowed my mum's laptop and edited it.  Anybody know how to post on a Samsung tablet?  

A Gift!

I have been away for a week in Wales and when I arrived home I was surprised to find a parcel waiting for me.  I couldn't remember ordering anything so was a tad confused.  When I opened the parcel I found a note from Lainey addressed to Mrs Christmas!  This is because I like to share on Facebook the Christmas Countdown page lol.  Lainey sent me this gorgeous package.  Thank you Lainey I love it all.

I love the saying on my pillow.  Never a truer word said.

As I said I have been away to Wales for a week and haven't done a lot of stitching, took Hubby's logo away with me!  The week before I put a few stitches into Ariadne but with getting ready for the holiday again not a lot was done.  I am hoping to put that right this week and get enough progress to post a picture next week.

I will share some of my holiday photos next time when I have time to sort them.  We went to the Dr Who Experience in Cardiff and had a fantastic time.  I would thoroughly recommend it if you are ever in the vicinity.

Until next time, happy stitching

Tusal / Dragon

I am late again posting my picture of my tusal.  I did take the picture on the right day just haven't had time to post it.

Next up is my progress on my HAED 2013 Freebie SAL QS Literate Dragon.  

I am now working on HAED Mini Ariadne and just loving it.

Until next time, happy stitching

Mini Rose Anderson

With all the talk of it being a year since the Olympics and there being an Anniversary Games Mini Rose Anderson started shouting from my wip box to be worked on.  This is what she should look like when she is finished.

This is what she looked liked at the end of the Olympic Games in 2012.

 This is what she looks like after I worked on her this week.  Not a huge amount of progress but some is better than none.  She has now gone back in the wip box.

It is the 2013 Freebie SAL on the HAED Bulletin Board this week so I have started working on Literate Dragon again and will post my progress next week.

Until next time, happy stitching
