A Page Finish......Woop

Yes, you read correctly.  I finally have another page finish on Moon Goddess.  I now have 3 completed pages out of the 36 there are.

You would not believe how many different blues there actually are in this design.  I was forever having to change thread colour throughout and then there were the odd little stitches that were 'over there' on their own. Confetti heaven, but it sure does bring the design to life :)

I wonder how long it will take for me to completely finish this HAED? LOL

Anyways, here is how she currently looks.

May's TUSAL and a HAED update

Well, hello everyone!!!

I can't believe it has been a month since my last post, but I have been busy doing something.  

I have started to read my old OU books in preparation for my next course starting in February.  Yes I know, February is a long way off yet, but I need to go through and get a better understanding of things I didn't "get" last time around.

I have also been stitching too.  I had to put 12 Days away as I started feeling like it was becoming a chore, so decided to go back to Moon Goddess.  

Pictures are below (1st pic - where I left Moon Goddess, 2nd pic - Moon Goddess as of today, 3rd pic - TUSAL).

Well, I'm going to make another start on her now, so if I want to get most of this page done, I had better get a move on :)

Another square complete and April's TUSAL

Well well well..two updates in a week!!

I finished another square on my 12 Days of Christmas. Only 6 more squares to go before I can stitch the border and add all the beads.

I'm unsure of which square I want to stitch next. So far I have completed Partridge in a Pear Tree, Two Turtle Doves, Three French Hens, Four Calling Birds, Five Gold Rings and Seven Swans A Swimming.

My TUSAL jar is full of threads this time around from stitching my 12 Days of Christmas and also an exchange piece (can't show it yet as I've not fully finished it and I'm awaiting partner details to send it).

Well, hopefully I will have an update for you all next week (maybe another completed square) but until then I hope you all keep safe and have fun crafting.

It's been a little while

Well hello everyone!!! I can't believe it has been near on a month since I last posted.

I have been stitching some though and have managed to finish another part of 12 days of Christmas.

Since my last update, I spent my stitching time working on the 'A Partridge in a Pear Tree' section and I'm now pleased to say it is finished.

The wording on this square drove me potty though and I ended up completely unpicking it three times lol.

If you have noticed, there a few little white spaces dotted around the whole of the design, these little spaces are for gold beads to go once I've finished all the stitching on it.

Well I am hoping to have a lovely little selection of orts to show you all onWednesday.

Until then, I hope that you are all enjoying the little bit of rare sunshine that we are currently getting.

Wow it's that time again. TUSAL

I can't believe how fast it has gone since last TUSAL time. I have managed some stitching but not quite enough to show off a picture.

The majority of these threads are from stitching 'Two Turtle Doves' which ended up being stitched, frogged, stitched, frogged, etc lol.

Hope you are all busy crafting/stitching away in this extremely cold snap we are having again.
