Turtle Trot January 2014

Good Afternoon to all.

Today is the first day of the Turtle Trot 2014. If you would like to take a look and join in, visit here.

I posted up the projects I would be doing for the Turtle Trot 2014 (please take a look at the page dedicated to this).

Here are my progress pictures for this month. I worked on 12 Days of Christmas, Spring Fairy and a Round Robin I need to get done.

Here is my progress:

12 Days of Christmas - Joan Elliott

12 Days of Christmas - Day 6 completed

Round Robin

Spring Fairy - Joan Elliott.

I have to say that I have enjoyed working on Spring Fairy again, but I think my HAED's also need some attention. For the rest of today I plan on working on the RR that I need to get done. Saturday to Monday I plan on giving my HAED's some attention :)

Until next time

Another Turtle Trot piece

Yesterday afternoon I had a sort out of my magazines and came across another project I had started but not finished.

It's by Rhona Norrie from the world of cross stitching issue 209. 

This is where I'm up to so far: 

I will add a pic to the turtle trot page when I'm on the main computer.

I'm now going to work on it tonight for a bit. 

Until next time

HAPPY NEW YEAR AND FIRST TUSAL OF 2014

Happy New Year to all my followers!!

I hope you all have a great 2014 full of health, happiness and craftiness :)

Below you will find my orts for the first New Moon of 2014.

I am now going to make a start stitching on my projects that I'm doing in the Turtle Trot this year.

Hope you all had a safe and wonderful New Year's Night.

Until next time

Swirling Peacock UPDATE

Good Morning Everyone (it's currently 1.38am here in South Wales).

I hope you've all had a wonderful Christmas and are looking forward to the New Year.

Over the last 2 days, I've been working on Swirling Peacock. I didn't touch a single thing in the run up to Christmas as it was hectic trying to get things in place and together for the day.

I have to say though that Christmas was a success and was enjoyed by all....until 2 days ago that is when I somehow managed to hurt my foot.

Here is how Mr Peacock is currently looking:

I am planning on joining in with the Turtle Trot 2014 to try and get my current projects either finished or good progress made on them. More on that will be in another post though.

Happy New Year to you all. I hope 2014 brings nothing but great things to you all.

Swirling Peacock Update

Good Afternoon everyone!!

I'm sorry I haven't been around much lately, but we've had lots of germs spreading around us like a wildfire.

Thankfully we all seem to be slightly better, although the kiddies were complaining this morning of upset stomachs and feeling sick....guess what....they've perked right up this afternoon.

I have to admit that I haven't done a great deal of stitching lately as my bug seems to have wandered off on me. I will be picking something up a bit later so I can do some stitches that don't need a huge amount of concentration.

I have completed a little bit more of Swirling Peacock, and here is how he is looking at the moment.

If I don't update before Christmas, I hope you all have a very merry christmas and that you get all you want and wish from Santa.

Until next time
