Finally!! A Finish...

Good Morning everyone. It is currently 1.30am and I have a finish to show you.

I have finished stitching Mr Snowman Ornament from Joan Elliott's book "Wit and Wisdom", which was started on 13th August 2013.

He is stitched on 14ct Plastic Canvas using DMC and Kreinik threads, with the addition of Mill Hill beads.

Progress after the first week

Progress as of 25-08-2013

The finished article as of 1.30am 26-08-2013

I am delighted with him, although my hands are now rather sore after working with the canvas. All I have left to do now is put a hanger on him and back him and he is ready to pop on my tree this Christmas :)

One WIP down, a good few more to go.

The next project I will be working on will be 'Enterprise Sweet Enterprise', as I promised dear Hubby that I would have it stitched up in no time.

I will spend a day or so working on it and then show an update on that.

Hope we are all well and happily crafting away.

Help!! So many WIP's!!

Right, I have so many projects on the go and as yet I'm to have a big finish on any of them. 

I'm thinking of doing a rotation of sorts and would like some advice from those who work with rotation. 

How do you organise your rotation and does it help you finish projects? 

Would love to read your comments and thoughts on this.

August TUSAL

Well, it is extremely late, but it went walkabouts when I moved. Here are my orts for August.

Hopefully I will be on time with the next one xx

2 ornaments in the making

Well hello everyone. I am still yet to find my TUSAL jar and photograph it for you but that will be done tonight. 

For now I have a couple of updates. 

My HAED ornament and a newly started ornament. 

First up is my HAED ornament. Here is how it is looking after the last update. 

I have also started a new little ornament from Joan Elliott's Wit and Wisdom book. It is a little snowman that I'm stitching on plastic canvas. 

This is the first time I've stitched on plastic canvas so it is a bit slow going and rough on the hands/fingers. 

Here is Mr Snowman. 

I'm now going back to my HAED as my fingers are sore. 

If you have any tips in making plastic canvas easier to use, please do share, I'd very much appreciate it. 

Hope you are all well.

My Disappearance Explained....

Good Evening everyone!!

I have some explanations as to why I have been inactive for a little while. I am moving house.

I got my internet back yesterday (7th Aug) and as yet we are still unpacking and putting everything in its place, which includes my TUSAL jar and my stitching.

I promise to have updates for you once everything is in place and we can finally settle and do what we like.

I have missed my stitching like crazy and am so eager to get back to it.

Hope you are all well.

Until next time.

xXx
