Runekeeper update

Here's my progress from the weekend on Runekeeper.
 I've finally finished the Knight block that one seems to take age to do and if the rest of them take that long I'll still be working on this in 6 months!

More from the WI Archive Exhibition

I thought it was about time I added the rest of the pics from the Archive Exhibition last month so here they are in no particular order.









If either Lostock or Rudheath were still around I'd probably be on one of those most likely Lostock as that's the one my Gran was in

Today I have....

Finished the second Angel (didn't see the point of posting a pic as she just the same)

Got round to making up a £1 kit from Spellbound that I've picked up at a show


Turned these from a Pandorian kit  (I finished the sides a week or so ago and put it aside because I thought it wasn't worth finishing until I had a pair of scissors for it but I remembered a pair I had in a work bag)


into this 


And made up another little kit  (a whole £1.20 this time) from Purple Penguin Beads I was going to make it into a pendant but decided in the end to leave it as a phone charm because I can use it as a scissor fob in the future

Namaste update

After finishing Snow earlier in the week I pulled out Namaste and this is how far I got on it up until last night.
The end is in sight on this one and there is no reason I won't be finished next month



I'm sorry it's not a very good pic but I had to take it under my stitching light, I was working on the second beaded angel and forgot to take one in daylight

Snow finish


I think I put in my monthly goals that I had a model to stitch for Sparklies and here it is finished.
It's Bent Creek's Snow and I enjoyed it so much that I'm going to have to stitch it again for me.


It's on 28 Sparkling Glacier with all the called thread (DMC & WDW)

Meet Ernie

When I went down to Solihull last month for the Sir Charles class I bought the kit for the newly released Let it Snow...Man who is a cousin of Bert the snowman (Posted him April 24 2011).
A few weeks ago at beading group when I wasn't feeling to well I sat and did him.
Yes he does have a ring on top of his head, it holds his hat on and the idea is you add a ribbon and hang him on the tree.


For some reason I can't do links today which is why I gave you the date

Remembrance Day


They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them

Fourth Stanza of For the Fallen by Laurence Binyon (1869 - 1943)
