Naptime Dragon SAL

This is my progress to date on the Naptime Dragon SAL that I am doing with the Kustom Krafts Yahoo Group... It is a real pleasure to stitch and am loving every minute of it.

Kustom Krafts SAL

I have joined in with the Fantasy SAL on the Kustom Krafts Yahoo group, its called Dragon Dreaming.... if anyone wants to join in, its here : http://groups.yahoo.com/group/kustomkrafts/. There is a choice between the Dragon and the Wolf, whichever you prefer to do.

Bookmark

I was going to give this to the Bookmark charity, but my daughter has seen it and has asked me for it, so I will have to do another one!... Kids, who'd have 'em!!

Update Sampler for Grace

Sorry for the delay in posting this, I have been busy doing other things.... well, you can see its finally taking shape... you can actually see what they are meant to be! (If you can't they're a Giraffe, Bunny and a ball!!)

Happy Stitching!

Good Afternoon all (or morning whatever time you are reading this!!)

I have decided I have been too ambitious with my choice of HAED design that I am going to do...! So... I have chosen another one... Its a bit smaller and not so ambitious and its a Quick Stitch design by Michele Sayetta called Leaf Fairy.. its gorgeous..... Lovely bright oranges and greens... unfortunately its now out of print and I can't find a copy of it anywhere to show you what it looks like.. I will try and scan it in and show you what its like though.

Snow, snow, go away!

I hate the snow! It makes it so difficult to get about, and even more so as I have to use a walking stick because of my arthritis... We moan about the British weather... too hot in the Summer and too cold and wet in the Winter! It looks pretty though.... never mind, back to the stitching... good excuse to curl up and stitch all afternoon... I'm going nowhere!

BAP!

Well, my next project is definitely a biggy... its Underworld by HAED.

I have never done anything this big or complicated before, and I think its going to take a long time.

Great Giveaway!

Feathers in the Nest are having a great Cabin Fever giveaway (http://feathersinthenest.blogspot.com/2010/01/cabin-fever-giveaway.html).. this is open until midnight on January 20th. The giveaway includes a chart, charms, fabric and a frame to put the finished item in. A lovely prize for those long, cold winter months.

PIF

I'm sorry its taken so long to let you know who has won the PIF but its just been mad, mad, mad...!

Congratulations to Joy, MaryT and ccfl02.. (sorry don't know your name)...

If you would send me your addresses please, I will send you a small cross stitched gift sometime in the next 12 months.

This now entitles you to place the PIF logo onto your own blogs and start a new one.
(just copy and paste it from mine)

Good luck

Finished!

At last, the Winnie the Pooh Sampler for Ellie May is finished... I put in the last stitch about half an hour ago.. .I just need to wash, press and frame it before handing over to her Dad! Now to finish my Granddaughter, Grace's sampler! Sorry the pic is upside down, I've tried everything to rotate it but it just isn't happening.

PIF

Sorry for the delay in announcing the PIF winners, as per my previous post, I have had a very busy couple of weeks... I will be making the decision in the next day or so.

No time.....!

Well the last few weeks have flown by, and I don't seem to have had time to do anything..... hardly touched my stitching and not gonna get the Christmas stuff finished in time.......:-(

On a better note, my granddaughters are much better... they were both diagnosed with Swine Flu, then they got tonsilitis and then to top it all, they had gastro enteritis... poor little mites, they had a really bad two weeks, with one night in hospital...but not the older one, Chloe, can't wait for Santa to arrive! Lucy is too young yet to care, all she likes doing is pulling the baubles off the tree!

Giveaway

Judith is doing a fantastic giveaway, which is a stitched item of Lavender and Lace "Angel of Summer", it is absolutely gorgeous. If you want to be in with a chance to win this giveway, please visit the blog here : http://judiromi.blogspot.com/2009/11/give-away.html and follow Judith's instructions.

Good luck everyone!

It's PIF time again! Carol from Tennessee started this run and I am one of the lucky ones that have been chosen by Jade to continue with this! Thank you Jade http://jadestitch.blogspot.com/

Now it is my turn.

To join in, all you have to do is leave a comment on my blog entry saying you wish to participate. If there are lots of candidates, I will draw three names from a hat to pick the winners. They will then post a PIF entry on their blog and post this logo as well, to continue the PIF.

The three people will then get a small, hand-made gift from me within one year. In return, they too will have to gift the winners they have chosen. And so on, and so on. This is how we stitching bloggers spread the love we put into our projects.

So, if you want to participate, please leave a comment on this Blog, or add yourself as a follower, or simply send me an email (there is a link on the blog to do that!) You have till the end of November to do this.

Happy Stitching
