It's coming along nicely and if I'm very good I may have it finished by the end of the year! LOL!

Also a progress picture on the Enchantment of Winter
Before-

(stitching is upside down by the way - oops my bad...)

After-

Just started on the 1 over 1 and not really enjoying that! Unfortunately there is quite a bit of it.

I have done a bit more on Mirabilia's "Goddess of Wisdom"

Before-

After-

Thanks to DMC changing the colours slightly, some of the blue is a different shade from the parts I have already done. GRRRRRR Not sure what I am going to do about that yet....

I hope you have been enjoying the Olympics, most of the live coverage here in New Zealand is on during the small hours of the morning, thank goodness for the Mysky recorder! Anyway I have watched and really enjoyed the 3 day eventing and I'm looking forward to watching the dressage on Wednesday.

Happy stitching!

    woohoo for the Happy Dance, I love these letters but I'd be so tempted to stitch all 26!

    You've made some great progress this month.

The Premier Exhibit

Image
It's finished!!! I finally finished Tuscany Town mandala on Friday, I had to finish it by then so I could enter it in the Oxford A&P show. And I won! 1st prize, premier exhibit and most outstanding cross stitch! I can't believe I have actually finished it! It has taken about 2 years, which is quite a while but I don't really spend huge amounts of time stitching every week. I also started the Multiplication Sampler by the Historical Sampler Company, this chart was very kindly lent to me by Nicola . This chart is now out of print so I was very lucky that Nicola could lend me hers! I also got some more stash!  I'm really looking forward to doing one of the Scarlet Letter  samplers, as they have lots of specialty stitches which I love to do! I hope everyone had a happy Easter, I know I have enjoyed some lovely autumn weather here, unfortunately daylight savings finishes next weekend which is always a bit sad because wi...

My Little French Obssesion

There hasn't been a whole lot of stitching going on since I finished Tuscany Town, I am now back at work so   even though that's good because I get a decent pay packet now, I don't have the time I use to for stitching! I have how ever been working on the Multiplication Sampler, and this actually stitches up quite fast because you only use one colour. Before- After- I have also brought another Chatelaine! The new addition is Lake Como I already have some fabric - 32-count white sparkles from Country Stitch, so all I need now is some threads... I have started a new project, it's called Je T'aime by Anette Eriksson, out of the February issue of the Cross Stitcher magazine. Fabric 28-count Linen DMC thread It uses 3 strands of thread so uses up a lot of thread rather quickly, but looks great! I will be making it into a cushion (one day...) I was having a clean out of my cupboards the other day and found all sorts of trea...

Trophies and a Party

Image
Well I had an interesting weekend, we had our prize giving for the Time Trial club and I won a trophy! Actually I didn't win it for this season, I won it last season but we didn't have a prize giving and no one had told me I had won it! Needless to say I was very pleased with myself and it was fun seeing MY name engraved on the trophy! Here I am feeling very pleased with myself... You may remember from my last post I was going to my friends 40th birthday party, well we had an awesome time and stayed up until 4am! A good time was had by all and I have one or two pictures to show, some of them aren't fit for general viewing (I don't really need to say more) This is at the start of the night, so were looking pretty good Lucy is very talented and plays the drums, piano, sings and can also play the ukulele! (think I spelt it right) Anyway onto the stitching. I have still only been doing the Holiday Cookies so not much to show other than that.. Before- After- I...
