Halloween Fairy Finished!

Woohoo, Halloween Fairy by Miribilia is finished! That is why I am a day late with my updates as I wanted to get it finished.

A close up of some of the beads.

I love the way it turned out and am pleased that I swapped out the original fabric. That now makes two WIP's finished this year. I am not going to start anything new yet as still want to get two more WIP's finished before I do and one of them includes Midnight Enchanter.

I also worked on Summer Sampler by Prairie Schooler:

This picture is much better than my last one I took of it as it shows the pretty colour of the fabric. I am nearly half way done with it now.

Over the weekend, Colin's mum and dad came down for the weekend. Linda brought her stitching with her and it was really nice to stitch together for a few hours.

I screwed my face up as I looked at Colin taking the picture lol.

My Pansy Angel is in a silver frame but it looks white where the flash light caught on the frame.

Good Progress this Week!

I am really pleased with the amount of stitching I got in this week. First off Midnight Enchanter.

Still got quite a lot to do on the left hand side and the bottom. This piece is HUGE!

Next up is The Green Man HAED.

I restarted this on Lugana as I did not like how it looked on the Dublin linen which was the recommended fabric. There's nearly 1600 stitches put in.

Next up, a project that should of been finished by now, Halloween Fairy by Miribilia.

I managed to get a lot done on her wing.

The next project is a UFO I forgot I had. Its Friendship Teatime Sampler. This piece is so pretty and I have added it into my rotation.

Saturday, I had a day off from cross stitching and managed to do four crochet squares for my throw.

So all in all a really good week!

A Finish and Update and More

I have finished my January owl for the Oakhaven SAL. I really like the way it has turned out.

I have worked on my Halloween Fairy also.

I finished the wing and am now starting on the second one.

I have worked on Midnight Enchanter, but no pictures  yet.

I got a wonderful present from my daughter Rebecca. She gives me presents now and again for looking after my granddaughter. I just love it!

As you can see it is a Cath Kidson sewing basket. I just love her stuff but have never bought any as it is so expensive!

My daughter Becky and my granddaughter Androulla (Ulla or Doullie)

She has just started walking these past few days. I love her to pieces.

On Sundays last year, I used to meet up with a couple of other stitcher's, Sophia and Jenny but had to stop going because of looking after my granddaughter. Sophia emailed me out of the blue, and after I said I couldn't make weekends, moved it to a Tuesday evening. It was nice to be able to stitch with other stitcher's. This Tuesday gone was  my first evening with them. Apparently three other ladies are interested in joining us.
