It's not often I actually say this but I am a bit proud of myself:) I have finally made up the Blackbird Designs Peacock Pin Keep that I finished stitching a while ago. It's not perfect by any means but I am extremely happy with it and right now feel as though I could tackle anything ( that won't last!!!!). So I'll share a couple of photos of the finished item :)
My DH came in yesterday and saw it on the table and said " Wow that looks good!" :)
Almost done and dusted is DT The Sanctuary :) Yesterday I did all the folding and mitering and all I have to do now is the hemstitching which I am hoping to make a start on this afternoon.
On Tuesday I received some fabric from Lisa S. She very kindly offered to send me some to make a pouch and needlecase for LHN Travelling Stitcher so hopefully this will be made into a pouch tomorrow as DH is at work. I'm a little nervous but I know I can do it if I try very hard! I haven't stitched the bit for the needle case as yet but I did make a start last night. Thank you so much for the fabric Lisa:)
Stitching wise I've been getting on well and managing to stay away from the PC after tea on a night. Monday was SAL night with dear Barb and I am still building the house! It does rather seem never ending but it'll be worth it!
On Tuesday morning at craft club I stitched a bit on Little House Needleworks Winter Band Sampler my SAL with Lesleyanne and Angela. I made a mistake no sooner had I started stitching but thankfully noticed before I'd got too much done!
Last stitchy pics are of Lizzie*Kate 6 Fat Men which I'm SAL-ing with Lisa on. I finished Snowed In on Wednesday and started Snow Friends. I just love these designs and can hardly wait to get the next 3 charts but am waiting until the next JJ's sale!

I'm not sure what I'm going to stitch tonight. I should get back to BBD AotH but I feel the need for more Christmas ornament stitching now that November is here so will see what tonight brings!
Next Tuesday Barb and I are starting another SAL :) This time it's The Sampler Girl Glad Tidings with Jane Austen. I've been looking forward to us starting this but wanted to finish The Sanctuary first which is why I've been in such a rush to finish it!
Almost forgot my part 7 of the iStitch mystery SAL. I'm looking forward to seeing what part 8 is:)
Other news is I've been to the doctor's this morning. I won't go into detail (womens things!) but I have exercises to do for 8 weeks and if there's no improvement I will more than likely have to have surgery. Right now I don't care if surgery has to be the option as I'm uncomfortable.
That's all my news for today. I'm off to start the hemstitching on Sanctuary :)
Take care everyone.
Love & hugs
Sally
