The weekend so far :)

Over the last few days I have been reading my Uni book and also doing some stitching.  After the frog coming to visit twice, I decided to put down my HAED and work on another project, Company of Wolves by DMC.  I have also put the Thomas the Tank I stitched for my son into a frame.

Half of Page 1 complete :)

More on HAED

Yesterday I managed to do another 800 stitches and then had a very unwelcome visitor.  The Frog.  I ended up having to unpick and restitch the 400 stitches that I messed up, except I didn't quite managed to restitch the 400 so that is today's task.  Here is a pic of what its like at the moment.

Tickle My Tummy - New Update

Over the last few days in amongst reading my next book for my next uni assignment, I have been doing some stitching on my HAED.  So far I've done about 2400 stitches (under half of page 1).  Here is the progress so far.

Finished....Thomas the Tank

I've now managed to finish Thomas the Tank and here he is :D

Update on Thomas the Tank and Frosty :)

These past two nights I've taken off to do some much earned stitching.  Yesterday I made a note of what projects I've had on the go these last few months and thought it about time I got a wriggle on with some of them. Tonight I managed to finish turning Frosty the Snowman into a little hanging ornament and have also done more on the border of Thomas the Tank.

Frosty the Snowman is stitched on 18ct Red aida.

Around the 3 sides of the ornament, every other stitch has a seed bead attached.

All I have left to do on Thomas now is the bottom part of the border, he can then be washed, dried, ironed and framed to put on my little boys wall.  I hope to have Thomas finished in my stitching session tomorrow night :)

Since my last update

Since my last update, I haven't really done a great deal of stitching, though I have managed to nearly complete my assignment for Uni (just a few more daft questions to answer). However, I have managed to do a little stitching and completed this little fella. I do not know why I stitched him, or what I'm going to turn him into, as he is rather small. He is stitched on 18ct Red Aida.

Frosty the Snowman completed 12.4.2011

TUSAL 3rd April

I'm a little bit late in posting an update on my TUSAL jar, so here it is :) I haven't done any stitching in a little while as I've been bogged down with Uni work lol. Hopefully after this assignment is in, I can do some more on my HAED, which I haven't touched in over a month :(

Sunday 3rd April 2011

It has been a while

It has been quite a while since I last posted an update due to me being so busy with my science course.  I did however manage to start and finish a new little make. I used the design from The World of Cross Stitching issue 175.  It was a hanging design but I just loved the cupcakes, so decided to put them onto a bookmark to use with my science books lol. Here is a picture of the finished article (which goes towards my new make a month).
