Good Evening!! I have Finishes :) :)

Good Evening everyone!!

How are we all keeping in the changing of the seasons? I can really feel the cold weather on (my joints ache like crazy), I can also smell it in the air (sounds bizarre right....but it has a fresher smell LOL).

Right, onto my finishes. In my last post I mentioned that I was stitching a RR and also trying to finish the Star Trek sampler for hubby.

I am now happy to report they are both done :) Hubby is over the moon with the Star Trek, and is now eager to go shopping for a frame.

Here are pictures of the finished articles:

Halloween RR finished 6th Sept 2013

Star Trek Sampler started 18th Aug 2013 finished 8th Sept 

I am now sorting out a rotation for my other stitching and through your help and comments I've decided this:

Monday to Friday - 12 Days of Christmas
Saturday - Charlie Bear
Sunday - Spring Fairy

The Saturday slot is still a bit undecided but should I change my mind, I will stitch on my HAED ornament instead.

I hope that you are enjoying your crafting.

Until next time

Busy Week and an Update

Good Afternoon everyone!!

This week has been a busy one as my youngest daughter celebrated her first birthday. Lots of running about for cake, decorations, presents, etc, which means that not much stitching has been done.

We celebrated her birthday yesterday (28th) and I'm happy to say she had a brilliant time and knew the day was all about her.

Some pictures from her day:

Now, this duck (bottom picture) has a lot of history. It was handmade by my Father In Law around 28 years ago. The pattern he used, was drawn by him, cut out, shaped, and painted all by him.  He made it for his son to play with (my now husband) and on his first birthday, he had a photo taken in it. It has now become tradition that when one of our children reach their first birthday, they have a picture taken in it. 

A close up of the duck - doing good considering it is around 28 years old

Birthday Girl - absolutely fascinated with washing machines haha

Now onto the stitching update.

I have managed to add another word to the Star Trek sampler I'm doing for hubby and I have added part of the ship too.

Here is how it is currently looking:

Can anyone tell me why my pictures will not turn the right way?

For some reason, I can't seem to get the pictures to upload onto blogger the right way around. I've turned them in the folder, but this is how they upload.

If you can show me how to arrange them the correct way, could you please inform me as it drives me nuts to see wonky photos LOL.

Until next time (when I will hopefully have more progress).
