I am a few days late updating as I normally do it on a Monday or Tuesday.
First up is Midnight Enchanter:
I did some back stitching around the head and cape area, the mauve metallic up top, which there is still a lot to do and some stitching down the left hand side.
Prairie Schooler Summer Sampler is coming along nicely. I have run out of thread for two of the colours and need to get into town to get some more so I shall be putting this on hold for a few days.
I have also stitched on both HAEDs but will update them when it looks like something has been done on them lol.
Last Sunday was the Old Town Preservation Parade in conjunction with the Fat Tuesday Mardi Gras (sp).
Section 5 Drummers were asked to lead the parade.
I'm on the left with the red wig and top hat.
Colin, my partner, and me. Yes I know, smoking and all. Colin gave up and now I am going to attempt it too when my current bacca has run out.
I do not smoke in the house but in the back garden. Haven't been smoking too long, gave up years ago and restarted last year. I have children and grand children to consider hence a smoke free home.
Kelly - your progress looks wonderful! Keep up the great job that you are doing.
ReplyDeleteWonderful progress! I love Midnight Enchanter! And your sommur sampler is coming along beautifully! Well done! Good luck with the quitting smoking! I quit a few years ago, and stitching helped me! I quit cold turkey, and spent a whole week stitching to combat cravings by keeping my fingers busy! You can doi it!

Stitching is coming along so nicely,,,I cannot wait to see Midnight Enchanter finished!! I so love the LHN sampler you are working on,,I may have to look into those. You and Colin look lovely in your drumming outfits.
ReplyDeleteMidnight Enchanter looks wonderful! I love how it is looking. Summer Sampler is looking adorable. I love the colors, I might have to get those patterns some day. You look good. Good luck quitting smoking.
ReplyDeleteYour projects look great, Kelly. You naughty girl... starting back up smoking. Tsk, tsk. What's a bacca?
ReplyDeleteHi Meari , Bacca is loose rolling tobacco :)
DeleteNice work on Enchanter! You really seem to enjoy your drumming time. You still need to post a video, so we can hear you! Good luck with quitting. My daughter smokes and I really wish I could get her to quit!
ReplyDeleteGreat progress Kelly and good luck with quitting smoking.
ReplyDeleteAwesome job on your stitching! I just love Enchanter.
ReplyDeleteMidnight Enchanter is fabulous. I just love the colors. Great job.
ReplyDeleteGreat progress, your M.E. looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteMidnight Enchanter is truly impressive...keep up the excellent work!
ReplyDeleteHi Kelly, Love your Midnight Enchanter. You have made more progress. Yay!!! Your summer sampler is coming along nicely also. Good Luck with quitting smoking. It is not easy. I quit 4 years ago. And that was when I picked my stitching up again that I had not done in quite a number of years. So when you decide to quit, have lots of stitching supplies handy and alot of drumming to do. At least for the first couple of months.
ReplyDeleteYou have been busy with stitching projects! Just beautiful! Good luck with quitting smoking. You can do it.
ReplyDeleteLove it! I seem to remember that I was going to SAL with you! Mine is still sitting there somewhere gathering dust :(
ReplyDeleteYour Midnight Enchanter is so beautiful, the colours really pop on the fabric. Good luck with quitting smoking, a friend of mine is quitting and she's getting so much stitching done as she keeps picking it up everytime she wants a ciggie!
ReplyDeletegreat progress
ReplyDeleteI think your stitching projects are looking wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYou look great in the parade.
As far as you quitting smoking, whether you started last year or 10 years ago, I know how hard it is to quit. I quit, with the help of "the patch" starting in September of last year...so I haven't had a cigarette since September 19, 2011. My DH quit the same way starting the Saturday after Thanksgiving last year. He uses his last patch today.
Your stitching look great, Kelly.
ReplyDeleteTake Care & Happy Stitchin'
Hugs, Sandy
Stitching is great baby can't wait till its finished.......
ReplyDeleteLove your WiPs. Both are beautiful! Good luck with quitting smoking. I used to smoke too and I know how hard it can be.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Veronica.
