Just Nan’s Heart of Gold

I found my Just Nan Heart of Gold sampler.  It just needed the back stitching, beads and charm added.  I’m so pleased I have finished it and that I have now finished three WIPs and on the way to finishing another one.  Not sure how long I can hold out before I start another one but I really want to finish Mirabilia’s Snow Queen and the Janlynn Santa’s Wish List.  One of my son’s want the Santa’s Wish List, I started that one about 30 years ago I think so it’s about time that one was finished.

Here is Just Nan’s Heart of Gold.

It was one of the class projects.  I have more I must stitch some more of them soon.

Mirabilia’s Snow Queen is coming on well.

I’ve done a lot on the Snow Queen, I’m really pleased with her.  Not sure I’ll be able to spend so much time on her over the next few weeks but I do want to make sure I finish her soon.

I’ve been spending time on the beach with my granddaughter Hailey, these photo’s remind me of the All Our Yesterday’s cross stitch charts.  I must get some to stitch for her.

Happy stitching

Welcome to the Forest

Welcome to the Forest is finished, Hailey will love it.  Still not sure how I am going to finish it.  I’ll see what frames and fabric I can find then decide wether to frame it or turn into a banner.

Sorry about the photo, a bit wonky and you can see the lines from my cutting board.  I’ll take a better photo later.

I have picked up another WIP, this time The Snow Queen by Mirabilia.  I last stitched on it in 2018.

I really love this one and must finish it this time.  Like many pieces it ended up in my pile of WIP.  My son Jack has seen Santa’s wish List in my WIP pile and would like it to hang in his flat at Christmas.  I started that one years ago long before he was born.  Maybe 30 years ago?  It’s on Aida, cannot remember the last time I stitched on that although the way my eyes are going I may be back on it soon.  Still I will start it again and finish it this time.  

We were able to go to Canterbury last weekend and have a social distance walk with him last week,  like others I miss being able to see and hug my family.

Canterbury, the streets were so empty.
