Summer Dragon update

It's been ages since I updated Summer Dragon, but it takes ages to stitch on it due to all the blending filament and metallics. And not to mention the ammount of backstitching! I'm backstitching the borders as I go and will leave the dragon till last. The photo does not do the dragon any justice whatsoever.
I would like to thank all those that have given me so much encouragement where this project is concerned. I really do appreciate it and it helps motivate me into stitching on it.

Small update

Last night I finished off my Lizzie Kate March Stamp properly. It's a bit bright as the flash made it lighter.

Today I stitched on a secret project which I will show once the person has received it and also put a few stitches in Summer Dragon which I will take a picture of as soon as I have finished page three which shouldn't be much longer now lol.

Monday update

It's been a while since I updated on here. I haven't done much stitching lately due to one reason or another. Heres how far I have got done on this piece. Its 'stitch or die' by Barbara Ana. I managed to get a nice lot done on it on Sunday when we was at the in laws.

I got my Fabric and Floss of the month from Polstitches today as well. I was a bit disapointed as I seem to have had an awful lot of blue themed fabric the last few months. I hope it's a totally different colour next month!

Whilest we were at the in laws, Linda gave me this kit that she had been given. She has also done this one so thought I might like it for the boys room. I will get round to doing it one day lol!

We went to London on the saturday and went on the London Eye. Pics can be seen here .

Two parcels today

Yup, I got two parcels today. One was my Fabric of the Month and Floss of the Month clubs from Polstitches.

The other was a RAK from Emily in NC................thank you so much Emily I really appreciate it. I just love the red dragon. There are some more charts too but they are underneath the dragon in a booklet.

March LK Stamp

I finished this on Sunday. I just need to get it finished off properly which I will do during the week. I am really enjoying doing these.
I started another Barbara Ana design called Stitch or Die. It's a bigger piece so will take a while to do.

February Seasonal Shelf

(Click to bigify)

This is my seasonal shelf so far. It is Valentines themed. I made the calender myself and it flips over for each month. The picture is of him indoors and the twins taken May Bank Holiday last year at The Green Man Festival.

I think it is fun doing a seasonal shelf as it gives me a good excuse to have lots of little finishes lol. Also I like the idea of looking round for things for it.

Celtic Summer Update

( Click on photo to bigify)

This is what she looks like so far. I haven't really done much on her lately but should have her finished this year with a bit of luck!

I also framed my snowman tonight with the help of him indoors and it is now siting on my seasonal shelf. The picture is a little blurry due to the flash light bouncing off the glass.

New start.

Today I ordered a few threads I need for projects, mainly DMC variegated and a Kreinik that I found that I did have after I ordered it lol. I hate that when it happens!

I must be really ill as I did something today that I never do...............I kitted up some small projects so they are all ready to stitch hehehe. I bagged them all up neatly including the chart.

I started the March Lizzy Kate Stamp after spending a couple of hours back stitching on Summer Dragon. Its on Sand cashel linen. I didn't want to be predictable and do it on green just because it is to do with Paddys day.

Don't Bug Me finished

This is the one I threw across the room yesterday. I picked it back up today, frogged it and restitched it and then finished it lol.

I am very pleased how it turned out. It will go in my craft room when him indoors eventually does the room out for me lol.

Rene's fecking frogs again! ;p

Yup, I'm majorly stressed out. I've been working on a Barbara Ana piece and have miscounted to the point where most of what I have done, will have to be frogged! I am so annoyed with myself as I hardly ever go wrong to such a major degree. A few stitches here and there maybe, but this just sucks. Needless to say it went on holiday curtesy of being thrown across the room! Whats fecking me off even more about it, is it's the second time I've started it.........I didn't like the orignal fabric colour I picked out so started it on a new colour.............bah, humbugs and Rene's fecking frogs lol.
