New Make for March

I'm a month behind making something new for each month of 2011.  This one below is going to be my make for March (still looking for something to make for February).


Hanging Heart ornament

This is the back of the ornament, will upload a picture of the finished item when it's complete.

Edited Blog

I have edited this blog and removed old posts because I didn't like how I had it all set out.  I will now start from a fresh and upload pictures of all things I've stitched.  The following pictures are from a Round Robin I joined on OpenMinders.






















TUSAL

A couple of friends and myself have started a TUSAL jar.  TUSAL (Totally Useless Stitch A Long) is when you put all your off cuts of thread into a jar and on each new moon, you take a picture and upload it to your blog.  It's mainly just for a bit of fun, especially if like myself, your off cuts tend to wander about the house with you :)

The next new moon is 3rd April 2011.



HAED : Tickle My Tummy

Well, I've gone and done it. I decided to do a Heaven and Earth Design (haed for short).  The biggest project I've ever done was my Tigers (Wash and Brush Up).  This design is by Penny Golledge.

Basket of Biscornu's

Two friends of mine stumbled across a blog of someone who is doing a basket of biscornu's.  All we have to do is stitch 1 biscornu a month and then in December, we put them all into a little basket to display at christmas time.  Here are the biscornu's i've done so far :)


January Biscornu

February Biscornu

Thomas the Tank for my little boy

Here is a project I started for my little boy. Not only is he Thomas the Tank mad, he also absolutely loves Fireman Sam. Next will be a project for my little girl :)


This is currently how Thomas stands, the right border is rather boring to stitch
