Last day of June

Well it's here again, the last day of the month and time to see if i completed all the plans i had for June .... no, not this month i didn't, but i did stitch a couple of smaller projects that were not in the plans. I just didn't get round to doing any on HAED Leo this month, i'll have to try harder next month and really make an effort to do some on this otherwise it might become a UFO, OMG i cant have that, Mr Stick wouldn't like it and the ladies on UFO night at JA would be laughing so much LOL










I did finish the Heirloom Embroideries Mystery huswif project today, it was supposed to have a twisted cord using the VC silks left over, but i decided to add a premade cording to it, i liked it better. The inside pic shows various stitching accessories i already have, i decided not to make the scissor keeper and pin cushion that was optional, but i may change my mind later and add them into it.

Hope you are all safe in the rain we are having again
Enjoy your weekend

Ornament Exchange

Robin let me know she received the ornament i sent across the pond for the 'Christmas in July' exchange, so now i can show it. It's from 2003 JCS Ornament mag and is by Needlecrafts Unlimited Company. Did anyone guess which one it was !!!!!

I'm not going to the stitchy club

instead i'm off with a friend to see Genesis the live concert from Dusseldorf is being shown at our local cinema, can you imagine little old me dancing and bopping in the aisle at the cinema LOL (maybe you better not!)

Stitchy mail day here too, can this day get any better .... I had a little windfall so ordered from JJ's Collectibles in their Memorial Day Sale. In the parcel was some DMC's that i was running out of, The Sweetheart Tree 'Happy are Those' teenie weeenie kit and Crescent Colours for CCN Ladybugs and Bumblebees and LHN The Rose in Morning i already have the charts for these, all i need now is another day in the week and they may get stitched in the near future !!!

{{big hugs}} to you all from a very happy bunny !!!

Victorian Rose

just when i think i have mastered the french knot with good old DMC, this chart calls for it with the silk threads, aarrrggghhhh...... thats not quite what i said when i was doing them, but i daren't print here what i did say LOL. They are the best that they are going to be as I am not frogging them out again!!

The final part of the huswif has arrived too, so i need to find some time to put that together and finish it off, i think that will have to wait till the weekend though.

Wellingtons required ...

or fishermans waders if this heavy rain doesn't stop. There are severe flood warnings on all the rivers close to me, and there doesn't seem to be any let up to it. The wind is very strong as well tonight, and we've had thunder and lightning this afternoon, hope you are all safe where you are.

Thank you for your comments on 'Wabbit'. For all those who asked about the ribbon finishing, i've asked Su for permission to post a link to her picture instructions ribbon trim and she kindly said i could. Thanks Su, i get such inspiration from the stitching you do and receive in your exchanges, i love to see what you come up with next and of course pinch a few ideas LOL

Midge has had the right idea today and can be found 'chilling out' in the conservatory, oh to be a pampered pet ... i could do with a bit of that pampering !!
