Prairie Schooler Pinkeeps.

Well the Prairie Schooler pinkeeps from the February issue of The Gift of Stitching were calling very loudly the other week so I started the Spring one, seen as Spring was on it's way, then when the snow and the icy artic winds came for Easter weekend I had to stitch the Winter one as well so here they are!

I loved stitching these but am a bit disappointed with my finishing off. I didn't have any thin enough ribbon so used what I had but I may well get some different ribbon next time I'm near the arts and crafts shop. So I just have the Summer one to do now.

Last night was Just Nan Queen of the Needle night and, although I haven't quite finished it, the end is most definitely in sight! This has been such a delight stitch and all the more so with having Helen to stitch aong with so thank you so much Helen. It has been brilliant! Finger's crossed I should get this done next Monday although I have the beads to add yet

Once Queen is done I might make Mondays my Bygone Stitches A Quaker Christmas night and hope I can get it stitched for Christmas. My threads have arrived with Jayne and she's posting them to me today so I should be all ready to go for the following Monday. I still might re-dye my fabric but Ill have to "borrow" some coffee from my Dad as I'm not buying another jar just for that! Lol! I used the other small jar I bought experimenting!

My S&S SAL challenge is stitched and now I just have to finish it off. I thought I knew what I was going to finish it as but I'm not sure! I may well stick with it as I've searched for something different but just don't want anything too complicated at the moment! Lol!

Easter weekend was very quiet but it's just the way we wanted. A bit of chilling, a bit of visiting, just the right balance! Of course the weather has been somewhat chilly and wintery! We had snow overnight on Saturday and Sunday and a little bit last night too but it soon went as the sun came out unfotunately! It was lovely watching the snow come down yesterday afternoon. So we didn't get a white Christmas but we did get a white Easter! Lol!

I'm going to ring the surgery later today to see if my blood test results are back then, if they are, I'll have to wait until tomorrow to get an appointment as it's my doctor's day off today.

That's it from me today! Tonight I'm hoping to stitch on Ink Circles Sea Stars and get that octopus and ship's wheel finished! Lol! I'm a bit behind on blog reading at the moment but will, hopefully, catch up over the next few days bit by bit:)
