Quaker Row update

Yesterday's progress consisted of the alphabet, finishing the top right motif and the bird.
Apologies for the slightly wonky pic, Millie has taken to lying on top of the scanner and it's not easy to lift the lid with a cat on it!

I had hoped to get more of it done yesterday but I spent the bulk of the being a taxi and sat around waiting at appointments for Mum (one advantage is that I made good progress on a pair of socks) so I didn't really get to sit down with it until mid evening. If I had got more time on it I think I may of been HDing next week but there's 3 motifs and the rest of the alphabet to do it's not looking good.

Living with Charm update

I've spent the last few days working on it and I'm quite pleased with my progress. I've worked out that if I do two words a month I'll be done in April and I'll be able to cross another WIP off the list

I've done Listen, Learn & the line under Give this time round. I'm off to start an exchange piece now so I won't be sharing anything until Saturday when it's Quaker Row update time

It's Saturday so that means.....

It's Quaker Row update time :) I think I made pretty good progress over all yesterday and I'm thinking that maybe another 2 Friday's and I'll be done

Next week I'm going to make a start on the alphabet, I've decided that I am going to go with a different colour but I'm not sure what yet. I'm leaning towards a red (maybe 814) but Mel thinks I should go with a lighter shade of blue, I'll ask Mum what she thinks on Monday when I go down, never thought to take colour options with me yesterday

Celtic Banner won

My desire to get it finished this year won in the end but Angel of the Morning will get worked on this year as well

I've mostly done the border this time which is why there's a mess of thread at the side

Meet new start #3

Cross Eyed Kat's Triangularity

I'm using a Sparklies Solitaire but what doesn't show in the scan is the sparkle it has although the fabric colour is pretty accurate

Now I'm trying to decide which of my old WIPs I should work on next. I'm planning on finishing my Celtic Banner this year anyway and was going to work on it next but Angel of the Morning has been calling me for the last couple of days so now I can't decide!

Friday SAL

Yesterday's effort is the motif on the left, I've got a couple of little bits left to do on it next week but otherwise it's finished. I'm due to take Mum to a craft place on the outskirts of Crewe next week and it's not that far from Hobbycraft at Bridgemere so I'm going to drag her there (not that she'll complain) to help me decide on a colour for the alphabet.

Edited to add that I have no idea why the pic is disappearing off the right side of the post, it fits on the post screen and I even resized it!

UFO anyone

The last few days I've been working on Andie's The Teacher UFO

As she arrived

As she left

I posted it on this afternoon and started on Triangularity this evening :) tomorrow is Quaker Row SAL day so I'll have to put my triangles down for that but I'll be back with them on Saturday and should have a pic Sunday/ Monday

At last the finished card

Yesterday morning I finally got round to putting the card together for my Parents Ruby Wedding Anniversay

It's turned out quite well but you really can't see how much it glitters with all the mettalic thread in it because it was so dull yesterday. I meant to give it to them last night when we went out for a meal with my brother (he was over here for a quick visit, first time I've seen him since Oct 07 when we said goodbye to my Gran) but me being the forgetful person that I am left it on the table so I'll give it Mum in the morning before we leave for Darts practice

Quaker Row Update

I got a good few hours in on it yesterday and did what I wanted which was to finish the Squirrel and do the bunny

Pat (my SAL partner) is way ahead of me, she's got all the left side completed.

Sharon asked last week if this was the colour of the entire thing and yes it is although I am toying with the idea of doing the alphabet in a different colour

And I found out last night that a different Sharon was responsible for the RAK I received yesterday, Thank You Sharon and I'll be sure to post here when I use it

A Happy Dance and a RAK

This morning I put the last few stitches in The Peacock, I was hoping to finish it yesterday but I was way too tired last night and I found a boo boo :(

The Peacock Freebie

Papillion Creations

I have no idea what the fabric is, it was an odd piece from my stash but I suspect that it's Cashel and I used GAST

I got RAKed today, in amongst the parcel I was expecting from Sparklies was tucked a little package all wrapped up in snowflake tissue paper with a RAKed label on it. Said package had a piece of Fairy Tale in it :) I have no idea who it's off but it made my day, after a week of being sick it was a much needed boost. So just in case your reading this, Thank You who every you are
