Stitching Progress

Good Evening to you all.

As my previous post mentioned, I have been doing some stitching over the last few months and now comes the pictures of my progress.

I won't be stitching for a little while now while I make an attempt at revision for the upcoming exam in September...oh boy am I dreading it haha.

Anyways here is all my progress:

Heather's RR piece

Pages 1-6 completed on Moon Goddess HAED

The start of a moomin chart (my old favourite cartoon LOL)

Joan Elliott fantasy dragon...SAL

Joan Elliott Mystery Faces SAL

I don't think I've done too bad in between submitting assignments :) Here's to hoping now that my brain can absorb and remember information so I can pass this exam and get back to my stitching.

Until next time

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

Turtle Trot 2014

Good Morning again folks

I do hope that we are all well and enjoying this little bit of sunshine we are having at the moment. I for one am, but do wish it could be slightly (and I do mean very slightly) warmer, my poor hands still turn blue in the breeze.

I have only really worked on one project this time around as I have been so busy reading for my next assignment (I'm reading it, but it doesn't appear to be sinking in just yet).

For the last month I have been working on my Wings in Repose HAED.

Here is what it looked like before:

and here is how it is looking now:

I have to say that I have loved every single stitch I've put into this HAED and my fingers are itching to get back to it. Why oh why did I sign up to do a course?! LOL

I hope that we are all well, I can't wait until I can have a couple of days break to catch up on everyone's blogs and get a few stitches in too.

Until next time

Turtle Trot February 2014

Well it is this time again, and once again I am late in posting due to my course.

I have only managed to work on 3 projects this time around, and here they are.

With a bit of luck I may get some stitching in once my assignment is in.

Until next time

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
