TW #4

Today's offering is Greetings from JCS June 1988.

I stitched it back in 2001 and it was my last finish for the year.

It does have another colour way and I keep telling myself that one day I'll get round to doing that one as well

I have some really odd beer

Bits and piece's

Remember back in July Berit unfortunately had to restitch her Arbour Day exchange to me because the original one went missing?

Well a couple of weeks ago I got one of those sorry it's been opened packages off Royal Mail with a somewhat mangled envelope in it along with a letter telling me that on March 17th at 9.17am a theft took place from my postman while he was doing his round!!!

The letter also says that action is being taken against an individual involved so I'm hoping that the lowlife gets exactly what they deserve.

Anyway a few days ago Berit posted pics of the original exchange and I have to say it's gorgeous and makes me even more annoyed with the little ****

Kristin asked if my necklace was done from a pattern and the answer is yes it's from Crystal Brilliance

I am stitching but I can't share just yet as one if for a private exchange and the other an ornament exchange so it's going to be a while yet before I can share either of them.

But I may have a beading finish to show early next week as work continues on the Santa mantle sitter and I'm almost done with his back now.

TW #3

Still playing catch up on NaBloPoMo :(

Today's TW is Welcome (no surprise there!). I stitched this back in 2001 and it's from Cross Stitch Monthly September 1988

TUSAL

I told you I'd be back with it today :)

So this month we have orts from ABC Christmas, Mary Wigham, 2 different UFO RR's, Spiderman, Noel Ornie, Caleb's birth sampler, a private exchange I'm currently working on and several colours of KO thread as well as some Fireline.

And to make things even better my puter came home today although it remains to be seen how long it'll last this time

TW #2

I know I said I'd be back today with my TUSAL pic but the batteries in my camera died when I tried to take it earlier and I had to wait till I went to town this afternoon to get more so I will be here with it tomorrow.

Until then I'll leave you with my second TW finish, Geometric from JCS June 1988 which I stitched way back in 2001.

I'm sorry it's such a bad pic but back in 2001 I only had a scanner and it wasn't a really good one. One day I'll get round to doing a better pic of it but you'll get a better idea of how it look in a while because there's another one to come

Beading finish

Remember back in September I told you about the necklace I was working on?

Well I finished it earlier in the week and wore it at the Ladies bowls league meal on Tuesday night were it was much admired

I enjoyed making and love the finished piece but can't see me making another one anytime soon.

I'll be back tomorrow with my TUSAL post that should of been done yesterday

October finishes

For some reason I never got round to posting my finished Spiderman square for SOLAK.

I think he's turned out well but all that red was a little boring even although it did make a nice change after working with black all day as I worked on the dragon

And my ornament for October.

Freebie from Gazette94 and the monthly challenge on Stitch and Stash. I finished mine as a simple hanging pillow and used the fabric in the background as the backing.

I do know where's it's going but I'm not letting on

NaBloPoMo

I know I'm late in starting but my puter is down again so I'm back on Mel's once more for a little while, it's off being fixed so hopefully I'll be back up and running by the middle of the month.

With being a few days behind there will be a few double posts while I get caught up so please bear with me.

This time last year I threatened you all with posting a finished TW every day and I will do just that on the days I have nothing else to post about (or I'm doing a double post like today)

This is the first TW I ever completed way back in 2001. I stitched him for an exchange and will restitch him one day along with the other 2 in the set.
