Belated Photos

I have had problems with Google Chrome this week so haven't been able to update as quickly as I promised, thankfully it seems to be working properly again now so without any further delay here are my finishes from last week!

Halloween Rules By Lizzie Kate, stitched on 16ct Aida using the recommended threads

 Dandy Dreams by Silver Creek Samplers, stitched on 16ct green marble Aida using the recommended DMC threads

Progress on Super Mario, almost halfway through page 3!!

So there we go, that is what I got up to my week off work :) I have further updates & a new start to share but that can wait until later :)

Happy Haunting!

Friday Finishes!

hello....anybody out there? Apparently it has been two months since my last post, for that I can only apologise, life kind of got in the way.

Since my last post my contracted hours at work have increased and I find myself with less and less time to do anything involving any kind of needle, I've even had to give up my Thursday morning knitting group :(

Still I can't complain, I really need the extra money especially this time of year (Harrogate!!)

As I've been off work this last week I finally got to sit down and get some proper stitching in, as a result I have two stitching happy dances! I finished Dandy Dreams & Halloween Rules this week, I've also made some serious progress on Super Mario, which will be my main focus for the rest of the year.

Hopefully I'll get some photos up of progress & happy dances before I have to go back to work on Sunday, this week has flown by way to quickly but I have enjoyed my R&R time!

im here

sort of, just checking in to let people know I'm still around and reading blogs but I'm not really commenting or doing anything that's worth blogging as it's mostly just work, work,work.

It's the same every summer as I end up covering everyone who's on holiday!

TUSAL Tuesday~the (should be) weekly ORT report!

I have been stitching!! Albeit only today so orts for this week are small and not really photoworthy.

I have been stitching on Super Mario with that dreaded green background colour, DMC 3364 and I have about 6 orts in my jar so far...

Progress will be revealed tomorrow :)

Weather-wise the UK has been sunshiny and wonderful, yesterday's rain shower & thunderstorm being the exception, but then aren't there always exceptions to every rule?

That's pretty much all my news for today so I'll sign off now.

TUSAL Tuesday

Well it's TUSAL Tuesday, so I guess it's time for a weekly ORT report...

sadly last week's stitching/hooking progress was slow to almost non-existent, so without further ado...here are my ort's from last week.

Pitiful I know, still all that means is that is definite room for improvement this week!! I'm on holiday from work for the next 12 days so I really have no excuse!!

See you tomorrow for another WIP Wednesday update!! I'm off to put some stitches into something, anything!!

WIP Wednesday

Hard to believe we're halfway through the year already, but to 'celebrate' I thought I'd do this WIP Wednesday a little differently. Instead of showing what I've been working on this week *ahem...* I thought I'd show you what all of my stitching WIP's look like as of today :) I'll do the same at New Year's and we'll see how many are still here :)

So My WIP's are:

Super Mario:

 Halloween Rules:

Dandy Dreams:

Green Series:

June Stamp:

So there we go, that's my stitching WIP's for the year so far, how are your WIP Pile's looking??

Till next time, happy stitching!!
