A Stitching Love Affair

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and New Year! I know, I know it's February! For me it was really quiet, New Years eve was spent at home watching movies on TV! Not that I really minded, it was nice to sit down and write down what I wanted for the year coming up. I had 3 new starts for this year, yes 3! Like I need more WIPs! Though there isn't much to show on these hence no photos. I also had 2 finishes so far, hooray!!! Pattini d' Argento By Cuore e Batticuore Stitched on 32-count natural Belfast Linen Recommended Floss Parisian Street Scene By Maria Diaz 28-count Lugana Recommended Floss I don't know when I started these exactly but they are now finished! Another update on Italian View Before-  After- Lately I have been watching Stargate Atlantis, unfortunately they only made 5 seasons of this but it is my absolute favourite! Hopefully it won't be too long before my next post but since being back at work ...

Hi everyone I hope you had a nice Christmas and New Year. My Christmas day was lovely and it was a nice warm summer day so we get to sit outside in the sun with a few drinks. I finished work on the 23rd December so I could do any last minute Christmas shopping and get everything prepared for the big day. Christmas day was lovey and quite hot, so it's always a bit of a struggle to eat a traditional hot Christmas dinner! I have also been doing a bit of biking which I really need to train for the bike trip I have coming up in May/June to Italy I quite often go out in the evening when it's a bit cooler and no wind! On the stitching front I have been quite busy. I have done a bit more on Lake Como Before- After- I have also picked up Angels Proclamation again, not sure when I even started this one! Venice is now finished I am trying not to start anything new as I have plenty to finish, I'm sure many of you are in the same situat...

Yes summer is on it's way! Daylight savings has started so that means I can go out cycling after work! Hooray!!! Still, it doesn't that it's going to be warm.... I haven't done a lot on Roses of Paris since my last post, instead I have been stitching Venice. Now I really don't like stitching on aida, it feels like cardboard, BUT this had a pattern on the fabric, so no choice there, and for all it's stiff scratchy feeling, it stitches up really fast! Most of it is done except for some half stitching on the bottom left corner. Roses of Paris Before- After- It's getting there! Next up is Italian View Before- After- I haven't been doing a lot of stitching with daylight savings started now, I'm usually out walking/running up the hill or cycling, I can't wait for summer! I couldn't resist a Ginga Ninja picture to finish :) Thanks for looking! Michelle
