Queen is Nearly Finished!

I did not stitch on Just Nan Queen of the Needle on Monday as I had something else I wanted to stitch and finish so I decided to do a little last night instead. I still haven't tackled the over one ladybugs so I really must remember to do those or they won't get done! I managed to get one side of the lacy effect bit done and a butterfly so I was pleased with myself seen as I haven't been able to stitch for as long as I would like to. I feel a bit bad stitching on this as Helen has lost her mojo and hasn't stitched on it for a couple of week so Helen I hope you get your mojo back soon. {{{{hugs}}}}

On Tuesday I finally stitched a little bit on Ink Circles Sea Stars. I didn't do much but I almost got the ship's wheel finished. I thought I had but looking at it this morning when I took a photo of it I realised I had some bits to fill in and I've also missed one of the octopus' tentacles off so I will have to put that right next week! We can't have a seven-legged octopus can we?! As many of you will know I'm stitching this with Karen so please pop over to her blog to see how she's doing.

My Monday stitching was a wee pressie for Julie and now that I know she has received it I can show it:) It is Blackbird Designs Bluebird's Needles and Pins from the book With Needle and Thread. I used 32 count fabric ( possibly mushroom but not sure!) and instead of the WDW it is charted for I used GAST. I am really pleased with the way it turned it.

And look at the lovely surprise postie brought me today! It's an Easter present from Julie. Thank you so much Julie; I love it and I'm going to hide it out of the way:)Here's what was inside. Isn't it cute and yummy:)

I'm hoping to start the SAL challenge tonight then get it finished and made up over the weekend. I think reveal day is 30th March ( correct me, Karen, if I'm wrong) so I need to get my finger out and get on with it.

I made a start on Tracy's RR and am loving stitching on the fabric she chose and the threads are so pretty. I'm hoping to finish my first page this afternoon.

I just remembered I had an update of LHN Winter Wonderland but I forgot to take a picture so it'll have to wait until I stitch on it again! Speaking of LHN have you seen the upcoming new releases??? I HAVE to have Wool Needlebook and Fob so I'm afraid I have pre-ordered it with the R&R fabric from Mary Kathryn so now I really must stop buying charts other than the BBD Loose Feathers. Julie the next one is due out possibly this week. No idea what it is yet though!

The girls finish school at lunchtime today for their Easter break and go back the 8th April. I'm looking forward to relaxing, not having to get up so early in a morning and spending some time with them:)

I think that's all for this time. I can't think of anything else at the moment. Thank you all again for your well wishes. My results might be back this afternoon so I don't think I'll bother ringing the surgery until Tuesday as you can bet your bottom dollar that if I ring they won't be back! Still not 100% but never mind. Have a wonderful Easter weekend everyone. It looks like it's going to be bitterly cold and wintery here in the UK:)

Oh and I have set comment moderation now as I've had some spam comments recently and would like to nip them in the bud before they get to my blog. Shame people have nothing better to do!
