My Bee Charmer

Yes I am here yet again! Don't panic though as you probably won't see me again until the weekend or maybe even after that! Lol!

Yesterday afternoon I finished off Indigo Rose Bee Charmer. I have to say that I am so impressed with the way this kit was presented. The chart, stitch diagrams and finishing instructing were fantastic and I have the most beautiful finished piece anyone could wish for:) For once I even have near perfect tassels! Lol!





I stitched a bit on Ink Circles Sea Stars, my SAL with Karen, last night. I finished the motif I started last week, did three fish and started another motif:)



So, ladies, what is your take on the DMC Group crisis? By the way the statement that was issued yesterday reads there is going to be some restructering so I am hoping and praying that the needlework side of it will survive. What will we do without our beloved DMC threadsand what about the dyers out there who use it as a base? I can't make up my mind whether to stock up best I can or wait and see what happens. I do have some charts that are charted for both DMC and Anchor so if the worst comes to the worst I'll just get the Anchor for those.


Well time to go and catch up on blogs for a bit then get on with some of that H word!! Have a great Wednesday! The bad weather we've been expecting hasn't appeared although I know other parts of the country have had it.


Hugs

An Almost Finish & A WIP

Last night was SAL night with Nic and we are stitching Just Nan Morning Song. I had quite a good evening on it and am onto the band with the swans. I didn't stitch them though as I'm still working out what colour to do them in. I think they'll be off white:) I think Nic is a bit further than me. This is such a simple stitch and it's so nice to do something like this rather than the HAEDs.

I have finished the front of the Indigo Rose Bee Charmer so just have the back piece to preapre then I can finish it off:) This has been an absolute joy to stitch ( even though I did have to do a bit of frogging!) and it looks so pretty. I love the little verse on it:)

I'll be stitching on Bygone Stitches A Quaker Christmas tonight which I'm really looking to then tomorrow night is Ink Circles Sea Stars with Karen. After that it's anything I fancy so I'm going to get LHN Winter Wonderland and see if I can get it finished:)

I was after having a quiet day today but my plans have been foiled! Lol! Jess came home earlier because two of her teachers are off sick. They left work for the classes to do but as Jess doesn't have another lesson until 5th period she decided to come and do the work here then go back later. She had not been home long when school rang to say Abi wasn't well so I went to pick her up! It seems there's a lot of nasties going around again so, as DH was ill yesterday, I decided I wasn't going to take any chances and make Abi stay at school. So she's wrapped up watching TV!

Many thanks to those of you who have been kind enough to go take a look and comment on Jessica's new blog. She was so excited to have some comments. She has more to upload when she has time but as she exams coming up very soon she may not get time to do them yet.

It looks like we could be in for a stormy afternoon so I think I might go finish up the bee charmer! Have a wonderful week!
