Are you starting something new to celebrate the New Year or participating in “Guilt Free January?” If so, what are you planning on starting?
I didn’t start something new on New Year. However, I did start Celtic Christmas a few weeks before. My plan this year (as in every year!) is to attempt [...]
It’s rare that I take a WIP out with me and work on it whilst travelling (train, plane etc). I dislike bringing attention to my personal stuff, and so always fear that I’m going to be stared at if doing cross stitch in public. However, today, I was travelling out on the train to stay [...]

Here’s how the picture looked framed up.

Knew I wouldnt stay away from stitching for very long! Back to doing this kit, which I started several months ago, but put down in favour of the Lavendar and Lace item. At one point I had lost the key to this, but managed to get another copy from [...]

Well, I restitched the lettering in a dull gold colour, but managed to do it in less than a day. Have since tried – 3 times – to do the stitching at the bottom of the “U”, and have had to unpick it each time, because I’ve made some mistake. Again. Away from the matter [...]
Well have finally gotten rid of that Krenick and my hands sure hurt. Man is that stuff tough! (and it smells too!).
Now have to decide what colour lettering I want instead - I want it to stand out but not too much, if you get what I mean
MutterGrumbleBah!
I’ve just spent this evening unpicking the metallic Krenick lettering on the Lavendar and Lace wedding thing I’m trying to do. It just looked awful, and even after getting a new skein from the new stock it still looked bad. It kept breaking and I was having to use shorter and shorter lengths [...]
Unfortunately my computer has died at home and the other computer I usually use to access the internet does not allow me to post to wordpress. Therefore I’ve been a little quiet on here recently, but it does mean that I’ve been stitching away!
No Photos unfortunately, but I have been progressing on the Lavender [...]
