Stitching Update and Victorian Walk

I have had a fairly good stitching week. First up is Green Man. I have finished my rotation on him.

Before:


Now:

I am really pleased with how this is starting to look. I just have to finish the column then that is page two done!

I have two new small starts.  I just stitch on these whenever. First up is my sunflower biscornu:


This is the back. It is straight but it kinked when my Old Man took the photo lol.

This is what it will look like when finished:


For those interested, the pattern is from www.sewandso.co.uk under 'Soda charts'.

My other small is a Mill Hill Kit:


It will look like this when finished:


It is called Lavender Fields.

I started a new kit for my rotation.


I haven't included an update as there's not much to see at the moment.

Victorian Walk on the Pier.

An informal walk  last Sunday, was set up for a Victorian style stroll on the pier obviously in Victorian clothes or steampunk.


Quite a few people attended as you can see by the above photo. It was a beautiful sunny day and rather hot!

A few of us thought it would be fun to recreate an old Hastings postcard.


The original version.


Our version.





The Old Man and I. 


 Riding 'side saddle' on the carousel.

 It really was a fun day!
