Amaryllis


Well I really do not know where this year is going, it is almost March!  I have not had much time for stitching yet again but I have finished one small item and started another.

Here is my new start


One of Nora Corbett's Spring Garden Pixies, she is called Amaryllis.  I have put her next to a picture of the finished fairy as on its own it did not look like anything.  Hopefully I will get more stitching time this week and she will start to look like the picture.

I did stitch one of the Mill Hill bead kits called Halloween.  



I do hope I find more time this week for stitching and  have more to show you.

Berries, eggs and Charlie


Half term holidays and lots to do but I have a couple of finishes




First is a Little House Needlework chart called Berries

The other one is a Lizzie Kate one




its called Green Eggs even though the eggs are blue. LOL  It came with a very cute chicken button.

The snow has finally gone and it looks like the weather is going to be a bit warmer for a few days.  I'm glad it has gone but my dog Charlie loves it.  




Here she is waiting for one of the boys to throw a snowball for her to catch.

Finished!

Don't faint but I finished the Embroidery Guild.




Hopefully I am properly back in stitching mode, I have so many charts I want to stitch and there are alsways so many more to add to my list. LOL

Must dash, I have to make a chocolate cake before the boys come home from school.

Sorry for not posting again!


I have been so busy over Christmas and since but hopefully things will be back to normal from now on.  Not much stitching done since Christmas I have started a Little House Needlework chart called Embroidery Guild but I will show you that another time.  I have a couple more things I finished last year so will post them today.





First is Moose Be Christmas from SanMan Originals




Another SanMan Originals snowman tuck




This one is from Oakhaven designs, I left off the words at the bottom.  I love owls and have lots of the Oakhaven owls to stitch.

Well I will try and get back into blogging and not leave it so long before my next post.  I have my big project to continue as well it is called A Late Stroll and is one of the  cross stitch kits from Yiotas x-stitch . I will stitch some more of it this weekend.

Sorry for not posting

Sorry I have not posted in a while, you know how it is this time of year so much to do.  I have done some Christmas stitching but not finished them properly yet

Three SanMan Original tucks, I need to iron the stitching and put them in the tucks properly but I have popped them in for you to see now otherwise it could well be next year before you see them.




Popcorn Snow

The Chalet School books

Two updates for you but I have not done as much stitching as I could, my son asked me to reserve him a library book online.  While I was doing it I looked to see if they had any of the books I used to read when I was a child.  My favourite series was The Chalet School.  I could not believe it they had the first two in the series so I reserved them and when I collected the first one I could not put it down.  It was written in 1925 (no I'm not that old LOL the last one was published in 1970) so some of the language made me smile but I really enjoyed it and I have already started the second  Jo of the Chalet School.  Not sure how many of the 58, yes 58 books in the series they have but I will enjoy reading the ones I can. 


Here is Autumn House by Bent Creek, 




looks a bit crooked but that is just the way the stitching was laying when I took the photo.
Here is my 'A Late Stroll' project, one of the cross stitch kits  from Yiotas xstitch



I would like to have done a bit more on it but as I said reading took a bit of my time.
