A very wet Wednesday!

Well the snow has gone but I am not sure that the weather is any better, dull and miserable, dreek as my friends in the north would say, and that about sums it up really so still lots of time for stitching..

I know I was going to blog every Monday and today is Wednesday but I just could not drag myself away from my project.... and here it is nearly complete.

Cirque de cirque

I have really enjoyed stitching this and I can not believe that it appeared so quickly - just one month!
It was wonderful to stitch and the design just flowed off the needle, if anyone was thinking of stitching anything from Ink Circles I can really recommend this one.



I opted to stitch Just Nan Angels Celeste in the cente I love all the Just Nan designs.
As I have some more space left, I am going to stitch a banner with the date along the bottom, who knows one day it might become an antique!!

Still snowy here - but that means more time to stitch!

Well it has been a week since my last post and we still have a fair amount of snow around, although not as bad as some part of Britain. We have not really been snowed it, but I have taken the opportunity to say in doors cuddled up with the kitties and listen to my audio books and stitch.

Here is the progress I have made, not bad even if I do say so myself.

Circque des circques

I am still unsure of what to put in the centre, will have to find an angel to fit. I am sure that something will come to mind, but if anyone wants to make a suggestion I would be more than happy to consider it!


How does your Garden Grow?

Well considering the bad weather my garden is growing very nicely thank you *lol* I just love the colours and it will compliment my hallway a treat.




Lilly of the Woods
The leaf beads arrived from Hong Kong at the weekend and I just can't wait to get started on the beading so that Lilly can be finally completed, it has taken a long time to find the correct beads at the right price the ones recommended on the chart were so very expensive and in any case I never seem to follow things to the letter - that way I can always claim that the finished piece is unique, may my stitch the designer's chart but mine will always be slightly different. No picture of Lilly today as she is the same as she was two weeks ago, but just watch this space for the developments I have given myself a deadline of 28th Feb to get her finished!

News from a snowy yorkshire

Here is the weekly update on my stitching .
Well the weather has taken a turn for the worst and we have nearly 4 inches of snow and it hasn't stopped yet, so I have no alternative than to sit on the sofa with my cats and my stitching - live is sooo hard!




my garden is growing ..










Circque des cirque is coming along much faster then I thought it would, I have to decide what to stitch in the centre
