I'm so slack.....

You know you haven't posted for a while when blogger asks you to sign in again! Sorry for the longer than intended absence folks, I was away the weekend before last which was when I planned a post! As a bonus I actually have a finish to share instead of just an updated w.i.p pic!

Here's what I've been working on for the past few weeks:

Just Nan - Needle In A Garden - 2 more bands finished

Jeanette Douglas Designs - Heart Collector - a band and a half finished

Indigo Rose - Forget Me Knots needlebook - finished except for the backstitched edging needed to whip stitch for finishing.

Here's my finish, Drawn Thread - Morning Glory

Stitched as charted on 34ct cafe au lait linen with recommended silks.

Stitching completed May 22, 2010.

And here's what I'm working on at the moment, it's for an exchange I'm in and hopefully will be finished tonight or tomorrow! Eventide Designs - By The Sea needleroll.

Thanks for looking hopefully my next post won't be so long in coming!

Happy Stitching all

A Guilt-free finish!

Hi all

Well I have finished one of my guilt free January starts already! It's Brittercup Designs - Raising Hooves. As this one is for my youngest daughter, she wasn't going to let me leave this one languishing in the wip pile for too long!! As I was enjoying stitching it, I just kept on going and before I knew it, it was finished!

Brittercup Designs - Raising Hooves. Stitched as charted with WDW & GAST on recommended fabric, 32ct Queen Annes Lace hand dyed jobelan. Stitching completed January 22, 2010.

Here's another pic "pre finishing"of the fob from Indigo Rose Designs - Forget Me Knots. I finished this one the other day. I just have the needleroll & needlebook to go, lol!

I have been stitching......

Well a bit anyway, but not as much as usual. Been distracted by computer games of late! Here's a couple of finishes from the past 3 weeks.

First up here's Just Nan - Joyous Ark which was stitched as charted.

Next up is The Sweetheart Tree - By The Sea Sampler, stitched as charted from kit supplies.

Finally is a little Indigo Rose freebie - Spring Garden. I swapped out the blue thread for a darker purple as the blue just wasn't showing up on my fabric, which is 28ct waterlily jobelan.

It was my youngest daughter's 9th birthday last Thursday and as she was having a party, a cake was required! She requested a rainbow butterfly please Mum! Here's a pic of the cake mix in the tin prior to baking and a pic of the finished product! Cake decorating is not really one of my skills but she was happy!

Well yesterday was spent in very pleasant company indeed and a great day was had by all. I went to the annual Sydney Quilt & Craft Fair yesterday along with Anne, Alison, Karen & Row. Many laughs were had and some very yummy cakes were enjoyed at the Lindt Cafe afterwards. Thanks for a great day ladies!!

Happy Stitching all
