well I can at last show you some of the stuff I've been working on yippppeeeeee :)
soooo grab your cuppa and sit back to watch the show ...lol
I left you last week with the start of my Autumn Challenge Sampler from the Samplermaker group...... well on Wednesday I finished it..... VBG :) ... I stitched it on a 28 count peachy creamy beige even weave from my stash using Anchor threads and a tiny wee bit of DMC 930 for the birds ...... If you want a copy of the chart and the no's I've used just email me :) .... it just needs a wee bit of tweaking as I noticed I'd moved the alphabet at the bottom one stitch to the left too much .... ho hum still learning this designing lark heheheheh
I also finished my needle book for Ally and sent it on its merry way and as she has got it I can now show you that too :) I stitched her Autumn treasures a freebie from the rainbow gallery designed by Erica Michaels using a piece of gold sparklie unknown linen using threadworx and Steph francis Silk in autumnal colours whipped stitched together with quilt wadding inside and a coordinating felt for her to pop her needles on too :) She adores it another big PHEW heheeh
Sally got the travelling pattern safely and has made a good start on it last time I looked ..lol so bob on over to see how she is getting on :)
Lynda finally received my PIF and loves it too PHEW again ..lol so another photo for you to drool over heheheh this was stitched on a piece of mocha ? linen using the same threadwork thread as Ally's needle book and finished off into a wee pillow with autumnal fabric .....the chart was a freebie from another blog and I wish I could remember who it was so I can say thanks for it ..... if any one recognises it please let me know :)
on the stitching front I've also stitched the little freebie that daffy cat was offering on her blog called ladybug smile and I've stitched it to sent to America to the Attic Needlework shop so that they can raise funds to help cure breast cancer ... it only took a couple of hours to do so I shall be stitching another one or two and make them up into little cushions :) this is my plan for the weekend ...all being well as you all know the best laid plans of mice and men ..lol
we had the stitching group at Bev's this week and I managed to get quite a bit done on the Poinsettia House by LHN .. sorry no photo on this one as just realised and its too dark in here to take one now DOH !!!!! will bob it up next time :) ...... I have quickly started the next sections of the Romantique SAL today and have almost got part 19 ( I think ) done but again its waaaaay to late to take a photo ...... I have been struggling to get the post up as I've had to move onto the new updated blogger interface and though a wee bit strange am getting more used to it ...... this may change ..lol
DH has just brought me a cuppa in :) oooo yeah we are going away this next week for a couple of days to Scarborough all being well .... just the two of us :) looking forward to a fish and chip supper on the prom heheheh
I have decided only to do the 15 challenge pieces next year as thought if I did the 31 I wouldn't be able to stitch anything for any one else ..... I am hopefully going to go through my stash this weekend as I try and tidy up in here and pick the pieces and then figure out what fabric and threads I need to get after going through the mouse house stash piles :)...... all being well there shouldn't be too much to get heheheh ... but as we are going to Harrogate Show again this back end of November I can pick up what I need extra from there :)
Ok sooooo are you ready for the show ??????? ......... here you go some photos for you to peep at :)
