Spring Fairy Update

Good Afternoon to you all. I hope you are all keeping well and crafting away.

This week for me has been awful, the kids decided to bring home the gift of a stomach bug that went round 3 of us within the space of 3 days, thankfully my oldest daughter and husband didn't catch it, but oh boy...I'm hoping it has gone for good now.

I have been stitching away on my Joan Elliott Spring Fairy for the last few days, and I'm almost done with the third page.  Here is how she is looking at the moment before I do more a bit later on.

As the chart is spread over 4 pages, I've been completing the back stitch as I finish a page. All beading will be left until the end so that way I can't break the beads lol.

Hopefully tonight will see the completion of her skirt and I can start the backstitch and move on to the next page.

Until next time

Big Changes and some updates

Good Evening to you all.

It has been a wonderful, sunny and warm day today in the South of Wales, makes a nice change to the cold.

As my title suggests, there are going to be some big changes coming to my household starting from September.

As I am nearing my 30th birthday, I thought it about time I got my life sorted and going in the direction I wanted it to instead of going day by day, so.....I applied to University and took up driving lessons.

I found out yesterday that my application to attend a 'brick uni' was accepted and I start full time in September WOOP WOOP!! I will be studying Finance and Accounting while the hubby takes care of the kids and studies for his masters.

I'm also currently taking driving lessons, but so far I am only a few weeks into that and so the nerves are still quite high.

In between all this madness, I have managed to do some stitching and I'm getting ever closer to having my long term WIP finished. Here are the update pictures:

Page 9 progress on Moon Goddess HAED.

Progress on Joan Elliott's 12 Days of Christmas.

So far I now have days 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 and 9 completed. I have made a start on day 12 but there isn't a great deal of progress to show.

I hope you all have a wonderful evening and manage lots of craftiness.

Until next time

New Stash...

Good Evening to you all!!

I know...it has been a while since my last post.....again.

For some reason lately, even though I have been stitching, I have basically made zero progress on anything.

I did however purchase 2 new charts from HAED when they had their sale last time round. I bought 2 story keeps:

StoryKeep: Home is Where the Magic Is (Randall Spangler) 

StoryKeep: Magic Arrival (Anne Stokes)

I have made a start on Home is Where the Magic Is, but as yet it is basically just a dark blob LOL.

I may pull out Moon Goddess again and do more on her. Fingers crossed I can get back into it again and get out of this little ditch I'm in with the stitching.

Hope you are all keeping warm and well.

Until next time

Spring Fairy and Joan Elliott SAL Updates

Good Morning to you all.

It is rather chilly out there this morning, and whilst on the school run, we had a few flakes of snow....nothing really to write home about though, but I sure wish we'd get a huge downfall so my little one can have some fun in it (she's never seen snow before).

Whilst it has been cold, other than the usual housework, I have been nestling under the blanket on the sofa with my stitching. I've been working on Spring Fairy and the Joan Elliott SAL. It has been a long time since I've stitched on Spring Fairy, and I think it is about time she got finished.

Here are how both projects are currently looking:

I am planning on finishing the skin on the above fairy today and hopefully completing her, minus beads, all of which will be added at the end so I can't break them with my frame.

Until next time, I hope you all keep warm and safe.

Stuck in a rut!!

Good Afternoon all.

I've been having a glance at my blog and it would seem that I need to knuckle down with these projects lol.

I have had the same projects on the go for years now (obviously my HAED's are going to take time) but I really should start to have some finishes, especially as I have soooo many things on my to stitch list.

I'm going to continue with what I'm working on at the moment which is my Joan Elliott Mystery Faces SAL she is hosting on facebook, then I think I'm going to have to pull out my 12 days and try and get that done.

I'm hoping to have an updated pic on the JE Mystery SAL soon as I'm working on the last 2 faces.

Until next time.
