September Achievements ...

Here's 'Silent Flutter' the SAL @ Jayne's Attic, i've frogged out the 4 kloster blocks that i did wrong, and stitched week 2 (can you check it Karen !!!)

Can you believe September is ending and we're heading into October, another month whizzed by and time to see if all my plans for this month got stitched. There was only 1 thing that didn't get any attention this time and that was HAED Leo but all of these did get done ....

L*K SAL ~ DONE ~ Friends are like angels
X-Calibre 'Blackwork Dogs' ~ DONE
Halloween Ornie Exch ~ DONE ~ Stitched, sent and received
Monthly Xmas Ornie @ TS ~ DONE ~ Gingerbread Man

Loopylou SAL (Feb-Oct) ~ DONE ~ Septembers part
JN Victorian Floral ~ DONE

The ticker at the bottom of my blog tells me that there are only 86 stitching days till Christmas, and as i like to make small gifts for some of my family and friends, i think this month i really need to be seriously thinking and starting some of those as well as keeping up with the SAL's and i must try harder to make some progress on Leo even if only a little. Let's hope with heading into autumn and the darker nights - this is usually a time when stitchers get more done - i'll be able to stitch up a storm and get cracking .....

Happy Stitching and blogging, i really do appreciate your comments and visits

Ladybugs SAL

My progress after week 3 - this is such a wonderful project to stitch, the colours are so pretty and i really have to make myself put it away after my Wednesday night stitching, i could easily continue for another night LOL

Hope you're all having a good week

Hardanger SAL

There's a SAL for 'Silent Flutter' by Loopylou at the chat forum of Jayne's Attic and today i managed to have a very rare afternoon stitching (i usually only stitch in the evenings except at the weekends)so here's my Part 1, kloster blocks, white Perle 8 on white Linda!! Roll on part 2 ... It has been brought to my attention that i have made a mistake on this and need to frog a bit out, thank you Karen for being so observant LOL

Halloween Ornie

I can show you the ornie i stitched for the halloween exchange now it's arrived safely over the pond. It's a very old freebie from Pam Kellogg at www.kittyandme.com called Millenium Cats, this one is 'Spooky' the October one. Stitched on 28ct britney in skyblue using DMC and made into a pinkeep. Ribbon was black velvet just to add a touch of luxury to it LOL

Thanks for all your nice comments on my recent finishes and thanks for visiting here, it's nice to know someone is reading my ramblings !!!

Hollyberry Update ...

YAY !!!! i did it, only after a lot of huffing and puffing and a headache with concentration ... it's not perfect by any means but it looks OK i think. Next month is the final part of this, we've been stitching it since February, just the beads and the ribbon braid to add now and a weaving stitch with the braid (never tried before) to put into the lower half. Hopefully it will be all framed and ready to hang in time for Christmas if i can save up enough pennies LOL
