I have won the Liebster Blog award.

 

There are conditions attached to this award, so here is the text I copied from Laura's blog.
Liebster is a German word meaning favourite, dearest or beloved.
The Liebster Blog Award is awarded by bloggers to other new bloggers who have fewer than 200 followers, to help spread the word about their blogs and to help them gain wider recognition.
The Liebster award comes with four conditions that each recipient must satisfy when accepting:
1. Choose 5 up-and-coming blogs with less than 200 followers to award the Liebster to.
2. Show your thanks to the blogger who gave you the award by linking back to them.
3. Post the award on your blog. List the bloggers you are giving the award to with links to their sites. Leave comments on their blog so they know about the award.
4. Share 5 random facts about yourself that people don't know about you.

Blogs I have chosen, this was so hard as I visit so many everyday.  I love looking at everyone's beautiful stitching.

Not a lot of stitching

I hand has been playing up a bit so not been stitching as much as I would have likes but I did manage some and I also made a few paper crafting cards.

I love this card and though it's not stitching I thought I would show you.

Back to stitching

Here is an update of my Nora Corbett Amaryllis pixie

Just her wings, shoulders and head to do also the beads.

Next is another Mill Hill bead kit

sorry it is blurry I did try and take it a few times and this was the best one.

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.

Well!

I cannot beleive it is almost the end of January and I have not finished one piece of stitching.  I know things have been busy but I should have finished something.  I have stitched a bit but I must stitch more from now on.

Here is my new project

Embroidery Guild from Little House Needleworks

and here is my Late Stroll 

 it is one of the  cross stitch kits from Yiotas xstitch

I am going to try and finish the Embroidery Guild this weekend so hopefully I will be able to post it early next week.

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.
