Nearing completion – 1 down, how many to go?

I have about 5 wips on the go at the moment, and earlier in August, I had 2 weeks holiday where I planned to make tracks into at least one.  I had hoped to get the “my big toe” design finished before I went back to work, but that didnt happen, unfortunately.
However, it looks like [...]

I’m still in the first week of a 2 week staycation, and it’s been interesting how little stitching I’ve been doing.  I was down at my parent’s place dog sitting on the weekend – did a lot of stitching on the Saturday, not much on the Sunday.  Had things to do both Monday and Wednesday [...]

EEEP! What Have I done?!

For reasons too complicated/boring to go into, I am a friend of Kyle Cassidy on Live Journal.  On the weekend, he posted a “so do you wanna do something creative together?” post .  I was dumb enough to reply “yeah, ok!”.  I have NO idea what I have gotten into or who I could be [...]

Well I seem to have spent as much time frogging this design as stitching it! Another few hours was spent taking an additional 2 characters apart. I’ve never had an attempt that’s so wrong so early. All I can think is that this is an American kit, so you start in the top [...]

My Big Toe – why all the effort?

Well as if I didnt have enough WIPs on the go already, I decided to start the “Reflections” sampler from My Big Toe designs the other week, thinking it was going to be a relatively nice easy job – only 3 colours, a couple of alphabets and plain sailing right? I should be so lucky.  [...]

It’s Spring!

And therefore a round up of the wips that a currently sitting out there that may need daylight to help me out (because try as you might, daylight simulation bulbs are never the same really are they?)
Anyway, I’ve been dabbling recently with the Anchor kit for “Queen Nefertiti”, and not done too badly, but gotten [...]

Beautiful Balloons WIP

I’ve been putting some time in whilst waiting (still waiting!) for an engineer to turn up.  Of course it’s gone 6:30 in the evening and he still hasnt turned up, and I had to take a day off to wait for him.  Gah!

The cross stitch is still a work in Progress, [...]

SBQ – The choices we make

When you start a new work do you look for something small, do you look for another huge project or do you consider your UFOs?
It really depends on what I’ve just finished. The vast majority of my projects are large and often take months to complete. When I finish a large one, I like [...]

Update

well I’ve just looked at the date, and it seems I’ve not been posting here a lot since the new year. Other things have been occupying my time that has meant that I have had little interest or energy in sewing, photography, cooking or blogging! In fact I seem to have spent the last 3 [...]

All work and no play makes……

me a bad blogger.
I’ve been busy doing other things the last few weeks, which has resulted in me not feeling in the mood to post here. I’ve still been doing some stitching, when I get some time to put my feet up, and have been mainly working on the L&L “Celtic Christmas”. Whilst [...]
