Wednesday again ...

stitchy club has come round again, i measure my weeks by my 1 night out LOL. Tonight's the last one for a couple of weeks, the hall is closed for major cleaning so we have decided to go to the local pub/restaurant and have a meal for the next 2 Wednesdays instead, that'll be a nice treat to look forward to. I've kitted up a special little project as it needs to be finished by the end of the month, i can't tell you what it is as the person reads this blog!!

Last night i stitched and finished the mini mystery exchange piece for TS. The item i was sent this month is beautiful and very different and i had a job choosing what to stitch for it. It's all ready to post out tomorrow, so as soon as it's received i'll show you what i chose to stitch. Karen and Lisa are doing this too, i wonder what they have chosen for theirs??

Off to check your blogs now and see what you've all been up too

Froggin !

Stitching away like mad on the 'Rose' SAL, feeling very pleased with the way it is progressing .... look back over what i have done and glaring at me was a missed stitch, how can it happen that you don't notice it till you get to the end of the row? I had to undo half of the row and restitch it. Karen, i know we said Monday only but i had to carry on this morning and get back to where i was didn't i LOL. The thread colour is nothing like the pic on the chart, it's Cottage Colours Petite Maison and stitched on 32ct belfast linen in cream, roll on next Monday LOL

Leo Update

Here she is (background still i'm afraid!)but i'm pleased with how much this has grown this time out. Today Karen and I are starting our SAL on LHN Rose in Morning, we are stitching this on Mondays only, if we can resist carrying on with it LOL

Happy Stitching

It's great to surprise a friend

The theme for the ornament SAL this month was 'angel' and when i was looking for a chart i had one of those rare lightbulb moments (rare for me anyway lol). When i joined the world of internet stitching one of the first people i met was Sally, and her ID of Stitchyangel i found very apt as she helped me no end with all sorts of advice, so i decided that this one just had to go and live with her, there could be no better home for it. The chart is a freebie called Connie Christmas Angel 2005 from Victoria Sampler and now Sally has received the surprise i can share my pic with you. It's also my first try at bargello in the skirt

Last night i put HAED Leo onto the floorstand and had a good nights stitching, i plan to continue with her till Karen and I start our SAL on LHN The Rose in Morning on Monday, and if i'm really enjoying it might just continue with her next week too

Thank you for your comments on the VS Vic Rose and for stopping by to see what i've been up to

Victorian Rose WIP

A lovely peaceful afternoon stitching all by myself in the conservatory while DH was watching the F1 GP and the Superbikes. Here's where i've got to with the Victoria Sampler ~ Victorian Rose Sampler, i'm putting it away as the next bit is the hardanger bottom and it seems a good place to take a break
