I had planned on taking a hobble down to the canal and see if I could take some pictures of the baby ducklings but in the words of the tennis season "rain stopped play " heheheh
so I busied myself with my needle and fortified with the odd cup of tea or two sat and stitched the afternoon away :)
I really enjoyed stitching this one and it has a lovely old sampler feel to it .. the only small wee moan is the purple flowers .... if you were going to buy all the threads for this one .. see if you have got something in your stash .... they only used one length(36") of thread ..folded to do loop start ... for each colour for both sides .... luckily for me I can use them on the lavender hill chart :)

so in the list of crazies left to do, I have
Poinsettia House, The needlework shop, Winter Whites and the Thread Gathering left to finish stitching .... :)
In my group the friendly stitchers some of have decided to stitch Mary Whigham as a SAL .. we have said no pressure to get it finished but to show progress photos when stitched on it ... I had chosen my fabric and threads last year when I was going to get it started *ho hum any ways here they are for you to look at ... fabric Joblean wood violet and anchor threads done as a floss toss ..lol
So I shall keep you all updated too as to how I get along with it :)

Oh I love this one too - and Lavender Hill?? Why does that oen ring bells with me? Cuddles to Pip n Damian from their daft auntie and you can safely pick up The Needlework Shop again cos I am nearly finished yaaay!! Hugs, Ally xx
Wow another lovely finish!
You have reminded me that i still have a Mary Wigham started and stashed away somewhere!
Hasn't stopped raining all day here either, it was even cold enough for us to put the heating on for a couple of hours last night !! Where is the great British summer lol.
Have a good week x
Congrats on another sweet finish.
Mouse, I love your new LHN finish but what intrigues me is the fabric and floss for Mary. They look positively beautiful!!! I cannot wait for updates on this one.
Blessings
Sweet finish!
I love the colors you picked for Mary. I am doing mine in shades of a grey/green - haven't worked on it in a while though. Perhaps had I chosen a wider variety of colors, I would pull it out more often!
Pip is too cute!
Your Nature's Beauty finish truly is a beauty! Congratulations on finish number 11 :)
Love your finish. Can't think of anything better to so on a rainy day than to stitch and enjoy a cup or two of tea.
Enjoy your last brew.

Congrats on finish number 11. It is gorgeous as is Pip. Can't think of anything better to do on a rainy day.
Oh that looks gorgeous xx (I'm finding my evenweave a bit tricky - some of my stitches look a bit bigger than the rest - I've started something small - thank goodness I'll try and blog pics soon)
Another lovely finish. The colours you've chosen for Mary Wigham are really pretty, I love the violet fabric
I can't believe how quick your flying through your finishes. Well done on another one, would you believe the postie just brought this one to me this morning, and now I really really want to start it but must wait.
Oh can you come do some of my finishes your so quick lol
I love Nature's Beauty, Ms. Mouse. Well-done. :) Cathryn
Congratulations on another finish - it's gorgeous.

Your finish looks great. Guess you will be done with Mary Whigham before I can think about gathering supplies!lol Wishing some sun shine your way to slow down your stitching! :)
Wow Mouse. I love the LHN piece. Mary Whighmam piece is going to be beautiful. Can't wait to see the progress on it; and HOAN is standing in the wings for me. LOL.

Thank you for your feedback I did the L last night and it did seem a bit easier :-), tackling the O tonight xx
Oh....what a lovely pattern, and stitching too, of course! Had to read about Pip and Damion, so cute the two of them! Can't wait to see your progress on Mary Wingham...I should pull mine out and see about starting it! Sorry I didn't comment on your last post, it's been a bit busy here! *Hugs*
Congrats on another finish of your Crazy projects! You're really good at it. Nature's Beauty is one of my favourite LHNs, I love everything in it.
Good luck with your SAL project.
Well done on another finish! Have fun on the Mary Wigham SAL. The colours look great.
I love your Nature's Beauty finish. It is so pretty. Hmmmm I now have the urge to start one of my LHNs but I.....must.....behave......!
Looking forward to seeing Mary Wigham.
Awww Pip is so cute!
Yoo hoo, I have the idea of having it in the centre of a cushion and been through loads of old mags to get ideas - Ive never made anything like that before so fingers crossed just on the look out for some nice fabrics xx
wow - you are cranking out the finishes!
wish we could get a little rain around here.
Lovely finish Mouse!
Congrats on the finish Mouse. I'm having an even worse, um, problem (???) with one of my projects. It calls for a color of Gentle Arts Sampler Thread. I bought the skein. There are eleven stitches of that color. ELEVEN!!!! I was so ticked by that. If I had realized, I would have used another color that I had instead of spending a buck ninety on it! I'm glad you have something else to use your thread on! Pretty colors in MW too. I'll be watching for your start on that! And Pip is very handsome too. Hope you're really having a great summer!
Congrats on your finish. Great job!
