Map update

Thought I'd share a quick update on the map although it's now out of date after 4 1/2 hours on it today.

More Kaleidoscope

Not much progress again this last weekend but that's because I spent most of it making Snowflakes in a field aka I was at Malpas Yesteryear rally in the craft tent :)

You won't get an update next week as I'm on holiday and this is the last time you'll get a progress report on Kal as well because it's going with me and I'm plan on finishing it while I'm away

It's Cheshire!

Well part of it anyway.

I'm stitching this for a customer of the local shop yarn come stitching shop (the same one I did the bellpull for earlier this year)

I've not yet got to my hometown but see Malpas down the bottom? Well I'll be there this weekend for the Yesteryear rally.

I've added a for sale page here and have put a few things on there to start with I do have more to add as soon so keep checking when you remember :)

More UFO RR

I've realised that I never posted pics of the last round of the 2010 - 2011 UFO RR so here they are.

This is Measi's Smokey Mountain Cats and it was a joy to work on and brought back memories for me as I stitched because I stitched it for myself many, many moons ago.

As it arrived

And as it left

I've signed up for the next one starting on the 12th of this month and I'm almost certain I'm going to send out the tiger again to get it finished.

Kaleidoscope update

Here's this last weekend's progress on Kaleidoscope, it's getting there slowly 

August progress and September Goals

For August I said 

Finish at least one project  I finished the Blackwork Trellis 

UFO RR Done

Get an ornament done No, failed this one

Finish my tassel  Done

For September I'd like to

Finish at least one project besides the map

Get an ornament done

In August I stitched for 71 hours 10 mins, had 1 new start and 1 finish and 3 days of no stitching but I did knit or bead on those days 

Kaleidoscope update

It's getting there slowly 

TUSAL time

I can't believe it's TUSAL time again it doesn't feel like 5 minutes since I posted the last one!

Anyway here it is and this time we have orts from Kaleidoscope, Blackwork Trellis, Cheshire Map, Joyful Summer, Mary Wigham, UFO RR, the project I'm working on at DBF's and some KO from beading 

And just for a change a view from the top of my ort jar (that's more of a vase)

Tassel Happy Dance

I put the last finishing touch to my tassel this afternoon and to say I'm pleased is a bit of an understatement :)

Of course with it being circular showing you all of it isn't easy so I settled for 2 sides of it

And a close up of the bottom decoration.

No matter how hard I tried I could not get a pic that shows just how much it catches the light 

My UFO came home

You might remember back in February my original UFO RR came home completed so I had to pick a new one to send out and I went with a Tiger for Mel.

Here's how it went out 

And how he arrived back home last week.  Isn't he a handsome fella.

I've signed up for a new round starting next month and I'm tempted to send him out again to get him finished otherwise it'll take be ever more and a day to get it done!
