Quick Update

By -
Yes I'm still around and stitching any chance I get, the kids are all off school for the summer in a week so thought I'd better get some photos posted as I won't get that much chance of stitching whilst their all at home.

French Postcard SAL
From January to June...only 6 more months to go!

Tree of Stitches parts 1-13
designed by Abi Gurden
still available as a SAL on The Stitch Specialists

I was going to put an update on Lukie's dragon but decided not to as it's so close to the actual stitching being done. I'm hoping to work on it every night until we go away to Scotland and try to get it done. Luke is driving me crazy about it so it gives me a big incentive.

    I love how your TOS is coming on, it's even prettier than the first one! The Postcard SAL is lovely, too - lovely and bright but with a traditional feel about it. Well done!
    I know a certain young man is going to be chuffed to bits with a 'certain' project that's nearing completion!
    I'm looking forward to seeing updates on CITA, too - you'll soon be catching me up!

    Thanks for sharing all your stitching! Your TOS is so pretty and soft! And your postcard SAL is coming right along! I can't wait to see both more of CITA and the Dragon! My 13 year old DD was eying up the dragon! Wondering when you were going to be finished, so she could stitch it! LOL!

    Beautiful! I'm looking at all of these I can to help decide what threads I'll use!

    Your postcard sal is very pretty!

    I love the colors your are using in your Tree piece. I've seen some others stitching this and theirs looks so drab. Your's is bright and cheery!!

Never Give Up Hope

Here is my Hope project all finished after staying up late to stitch on the last beads. Showed it to my daughter Darcy this morning and she said "Darcy's" so even at 23mths old she knows what she wants!  For anyone who hasn't seen the sister design Believe that I completed in November the designs are out of a book called "Bewitching Cross Stitch" by Joan Elliott. It's stitched on 28ct Sparkling Fairy Tale by Sparklies  using normal DMC stranded cottons and Mill Hill Beads. I'm so pleased with how it's turned out :-) I've also finally completed a Christmas ornament for my children. This is a snowman stitched on plastic canvas, bought it ages ago but only just finished it off.  Also managed to complete a couple of small items for the kids and a silver snowman. Not quite sure what to do with the snowman though, card, frame or ornament? This week I'm going to try and catch up on my SALs. I've only part 12 and Darcy's initial

Lots of new things to do

Last month I made myself a little box using some of our sons old clothes, it's a handy little thing for the side of my bed and I get to remember how small the boys were when I see what they wore. This is mine....  Obviously when DD saw it she wanted one but in pink and purple. On Friday when she got home from school we sat and got the fabrics ready along with buttons and threads. All the centre pieces are from clothing she wore as a baby up until about 18mths old, the outside is some purple fabric I had left from my flower project and the buttons are from an old jacket.  Saturday after lunch DD and I sat down with the sewing machine and put her 'box' together...lets just say having a 4yr old help doesn't make for an easy or quick job!!  But she's pleased with her box and says that she'll keep her hair clips and bobbles in it. Here's DD with her box....   The latest issue of Stitch magazine had a flower in it that I took a fancy to straight away. Althou
