I'm sorry it has been a while

Good Evening to you all!!

I'm sorry it has been a while since my last stitching post, but my course has quite literally taken over my life, and if I'm honest, I'm hating the course too.

I've not long submitted an assignment, a half attempted couldn't be bothered half done one at that. I've now declared that from now until Monday, I'm doing nothing but stitching.

On the weekends, I take my stitching to my father in law's house and here is my progress on the two projects I've worked on (not enough time to pull out my HAED's).

Spring Fairy

Swirling Peacock

and a few months late, here is how my TUSAL jar is looking

On another note, I've also been completely smoke free for 2 months, 11 days and I have to say I'm feeling fantastic. I haven't yet given up the nicotine though, as I'm using an electronic cigarette.  The one thing I have noticed since quitting though is that I can't seem to sit still for long, I have to get up and do something lol.

I'm now tonight going to pull out my Wings in Repose HAED and try and get the first page done by Monday, fingers crossed I can if I can sit still for long enough.

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

A Few Updates :)

Good Morning to all from a rather chilly South Wales.

I seem to have stopped blogging for a few days but I'm back and I do have a few updates on my WIP's.

Since I finished Santa and The Mouse, I went back to Moon Goddess and a few other pieces. Here are the updates:

Moon Goodess. Pages 1,2,3,4 and 6 complete, page 5 in progress.

A close up of page 5 (in progress) and page 6:

Swirling Peacock:

In between these projects, I decided to start something small, but for some reason my stitching bug has started to wane a bit.  Here is my little in between project:

This is from WOCS. I've substituted the white for kreinik 032

I am now off to snuggle on the sofa today with my poorly little girl and do more on page 5. I want to get most of page 5 done by Christmas if not completed.

I do hope you all keep warm in this chilly weather :) 

Have a great day all.

Until next time
