Five Down, One to Go

Another fat man bites the dust! This time it's Let It Snow , which I finished last night, and this one seemed to stitch up so fast! I'm really looking forward to starting the last one next Tuesday and I'd love to have this finished before I go in for my surgery early May. I think I can do it :)

Started 6th March 2012

Finished 27th March 2012

Not much else to show as I'm working on a little RAK but I do have some progress on HAED Guardian. Not much as I can stitch all evening on a HAED and not see much for it!

Monday as always was SB SAL night with dear Barb and dear Colleen. I do hope Colleen is OK. I frogged the green that I wasn't keen on and restitched it with a lighter one which I think looks much better. I finished the grass and planted the flowers and gave the shepherdess a crook:) 

Yesterday I received a lovely surprise from my dear friend Michelle. She had been to the stitching show at the NEC and she very kindly sent me this.

As some of you know Blackbird Designs is one of my favourite designers so this is just perfect for me. Thank you so much Michelle for thinking of me {{{hugs}}}

Tonight Mouse is joining me for my new start Little House Needleworks Summer Splendor. Mouse started hers as one of her crazy pieces back in January but hasn't done any on it since so I'm very happy that she is joining me in stitching it.

We have two new family members at the moment. No photos as yet as I haven't taken any but both Jess and Abi decided after much heartache to get another hamster each. Abi has taken a long time to decide but after Jess came home with one ( her Dad took her to look on the way home from uni last Friday) she decided she'd like to go look on Sunday and the first one she saw she fell in love with. They were both quite tame as they are used to being handled and they are both so sweet! I'm hoping having them around will help me ( pet therapy!).

Well I'd better end this here as tea is almost ready and the girls are hungry. 

Until next time.

With much love.

  5. Cute snowman piece. But I disagree I don't want it to snow. Winter had it's chance to come, it didn't so it missed it's chance this year. Your WIP is nice too.

  17. Your stitching looks great. The HAED are crazily huge, I admire you for doing one. No wonder progress looks slow, there is just so much stitching on them. Enjoy your new pets.
