Newton SAL update

Well the SAL started early as we (Kathm, newton & myself) all had the supplies we needed and were just waiting for the 26th to start. Here is my first update

joined my first SAL :-)

it's the Newton's Law chart in the new issue of CSC & I can't wait to start it!! Went and bought the threads I needed to do it and now all I wanna do is start stitching but the SAL doesn't start until the 26th so I can't! Am trying to focus on finishing off the dusting fairy before the weekend as I am hopefully going to the stitch & craft show at Sandown Park with my mum, which should be fun if we can get there :-)

Hoovering's done

Ironing is almost finished and dusting is also almost finished, just Laundry & Weary to

definetly got the stitchy bug back lol

I know i promised progress pics to spur me on but I got to engrossed in stitching and before I knew it, it was 2am and i had workin 6 hours! On the upside I finished all the whole stitch on the hoovering fairy and started the backstitch, only 3 fairies to go now!

11 days into 2009...

and I have done very little stitching...(not good on the resolutions front!) tried to get some done on the housework fairies today but couldn't get into it enough to make much progress, not even enough to take a picture lol. Will try and do some more now & hopefully upload a photo of the progress before i go to sleep.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!

ok so I'm a few days late, but better late than never! Stitchy Resolutions for this year are

1. complete all my current WIP's
2. start & finish 'popcorn flower's for you' in time for my grandma's birthday
3. learn how to do french knots once & for all
4. to complete at least one large project (one of the mirabillia or passione ricamo charts i have in my to-do pile)

Other Resolutions this year are:

1. pass my driving test
2. put any bonuses I get from work into my savings account (and not spend it!!)

Got a lovely stash of stitchy stuff from my mum & dad for xmas, had lots of aida (mostly sparkly & one hand dyed), 2 mirabillia charts, reusable project cards, some petite needles & short beading needles & a chocolate scented kit by DMC which I can't wait to try out!
