Greta's Stitches

I cannot really believe that it is so long since I was last here 4 years! and the weather well it is STILL RAINING!!!

I will try to make this a weekly blog I owe it to myself to sit down and recall what has happened, I have done a lot of stitching since my last blog and would love to show you all what I have achieved away from the pc - quite a lot really considering I only stitch large pieces and my eyesight is definitely not what it used to be, no one ever told me that getting old was such a drag!!  I might have more time to do things, but they take more time to achieve!

We also have 2 new additions to the family a White (deaf) boxer called Tukker and a Chocolate Sprocker (Springer x Cocker) called Rupert, they are just adorable but do take up a lot of time with walks in the woods which are lovely whatever the weather. On the plus side they  get me up a 6.00am for their breakfast so I have a time to sit and have breakfast looking out onto my lovely garden (another passion in my life).

OK I am going to ease myself gently into the rhythm of blogging again so will come back tomorrow and post pictures of my sewing, not sure how many I have completed - I do know that I have 3 WIP's 
1. L&L Celtic Spring
2. L&L Sabrina
3. Serenity's Garden
which are weighing heavily on me I hate to have things unfinished so they are on my list to get on with this year too, although I really really want to stitch HAED Mask of Colors by Linda Ravenscroft, she is all kitted up and for the first time in my life I have gridded my fabric, the chart looks too complicated to just 'go for it' as I would normally.

I will show you how I am getting on with it, I haven't seen this stitched yet, everyone seems to love HAED charts but I wonder how many are stitched rather than 'collected'???  Please let me know if you have completed any and post a link so share your work.
