A rather large update for you all

Well, as it has been a little while since I last posted, this post is going to be a rather largish one.

I have to say I haven't managed a great deal of stitching since my last update due to me trying to get everything organised ready for the arrival of the baby who is going to arrive within the next 10 days....eeek.  I have to say though that I cannot wait until she is here even if it is so I can get comfy.

Now for my stitching updates.  I've decided to rotate the projects that I have on the go, otherwise I've found I'm getting myself in a right mess with projects all over the place.

First up is my Moon Goddess HAED.  I'm so close to finishing page 2 of 36 pages, and as you will see in the bottom right hand corner, I've made a start on her hair so it won't be long until her head starts to take shape.

Here she is before I started working on her:

and here is how she is now:

Another project I've been working on is the Charlie Bear Alphabet Sampler.  Due to my course starting back in February and lots of other things in between, myself and Heather put Charlie away.  

This is how Charlie looked before:

For this week, I'm going to be working on my 12 days of Christmas by Joan Elliott.  I was hoping to have it finished in time for this Christmas, but with the new baby due any time now I very much doubt that will happen.  Just to remind you all, this is how it looks as of right now before I start on it again this afternoon.

19th August 2012

And last but not least, my August TUSAL report.  There is very little in the jar this month, but I'm hoping that once I start stitching the above project, it will soon fill up.

TUSAL 17th August 2012

That is all I have for updates for now, but I'm hoping to have a new update for you all shortly.

Until next time

July TUSAL

Here is my jar this month.  The threads are mainly from the 12 days of christmas.....all except the blue at the top, which is 8 hours of HAED stitching unpicked thanks to a visit from the flipping frog!!

12 Days of Christmas

I forgot to post an update last week on how 12 Days of Christmas is coming along, so before I change projects here is an update on how it is going.

This is how it looked on 6th July

As of today: 16th July

I have decided that this week is going to be spent working on another project, my Moon Goddess HAED as she hasn't seen the light for a little while now.

Hopefully I'll get lots done on her now this week before the kiddies break up for the school holidays.

Until next time

Another Stitching update

Hi everyone!!

Well, after having a good few finishes last month, I decided it was time I pulled out another project that was started a few months ago.  I am now spending my spare time working on Joan Elliott's 12 Days of Christmas.  Here is how it looked before I started working on it:

and here is how it is currently looking:

Until next time, have a fun stitching time.

Another 2 finishes :)

Yup....you did read correct!! I have 2 new finishes - 1 of which is framed and another is currently drying ready for ironing/framing tomorrow.

The second finish for 2012 is Autumn Fairy by Joan Elliott.  I finished her last night after having to wait for an extra reel of kreinik for her wings (from now on I will buy an extra reel to what is suggested as I've ran out on both Summer and Autumn now).

The next finish I have is the I Stitch Therefore I Stash sampler.  It became a slight UFO due to the french knots, so I attempted to change them into beads.  I finally decided tonight that it would look a lot nicer if I just left them out, so I took all the beads that I had put on off and framed it in a simple wooden frame.  Here it is:

Until next time :)
