Page 3 finish!

Well it's been a while but I've finally finished page 3 of Heather HAED BB SAL.  So here she is:

I don't get the 4th and final page until the end of August so am filling in the time going back to my other WIPs, I'll let you know which one a bit later.  I really can't decide so I've put all the names in a food bag and going to bet hubby to select and another selection for how long I'm going to do it for everything from 5 hours to a page finish is there!

Should be fun!

However I'll have a new start in September because I've signed up for the Lizzie Kate Mystery SAL, I'm really excited about it because it's a Christmas design and I'm already getting a bit excited about the festive season! :)

Happy Stitching!

Page 2 finally complete!

Well here she is! Page 2 finally finished.

I'm going to make cards today and possibly a bit on lakeside Village.

As an aside, I've noticed that I now have 51 followers!  I promised a competition/prize draw when I hit this mark, but I can't think what to do, so I'm giving you a choice!  I'll post a picture later, but here's the general choices:

• Free mini kit (from magazine)
• Chart book and 2 x threads (from magazine)
• My completed 'Love is better when you give it away' design which I did last year

All you have to do is post a comment and say which you want - Kit, Charts, Design.

Please spread the word as if I get over 60 followers I will be drawing 2 winners on 1st June 2013.

Happy Stitching! :)

I'm back! (very good reasons!)

Hi all, sorry I've not been on here at all for the past month, I was busy making Mother's day cards for colleagues but the funds will go towards my millennium frame that I'm going to get some time this year, I also got into a super good book which I read on a weekend away called Me Before You by Jojo Moyes.  I'm giving it away on World Book Night this year.

Anyhow back to stitching, I did get some of Heather done and hope to get loads more done tomorrow as it's a Bank Holiday!

And as it was being done on one of my Facebook groups, here's my messy back! 

I've also just noticed that I have 49 followers! If I get to 50, I will have a giveaway!  Not sure what it'll be, but I have loads of free stitchy gifts that I'll never get around to doing.  But of course it could be a copy of my World Book Night Book depending on preferences!

Happy stitchy Bank Holiday Weekend! xxx 

Heather BB SAL Page 1 COMPLETE!!!!!

Well this took me rather longer than I expected! But here she is, first page complete of Heather:

I'll be returning to Lakeside Village to complete my 10 hours with it but I'm going to have less stitchy time because my colleagues at work have found out I make cards so I'm currently inundated with Mothers' Day card requests!

I'll be posting pictures on my sister blog.

Short but sweet, but I'll be back with a picture of Lakeside Village!

Happy Stitching!

Heather Update!

A short but hopefully sweet update from me today!

I hope to have finished all the hair this weekend as I'm not going out in all this snow!

Thought I'd post this picture today so we can all see how much I actually get done!

Happy Stitching everyone!

HAED SAL Heather Update

Hello everyone, hope you are having a fantastic start to the New Year.

I've not had a fantastic start to my stitching since work has been super busy and by the time I get home all I have energy for is to eat and bathe before bed!

But I have started Lakeside Village (picture to come when I've done a bit more) and here is Heather.  Unlike most HL stitchers, I prefer to rotate the black with a colour as I'm so frightened of miscounting even though I use magic guide!  But also I think just doing the outlines would do my head in and I'd loose concentration!

I'm going to stick with my rotation plans and after this page is done, finish a total of 10 hours on lakeside Village before moving onto the County Durham sampler for 10 hours.

I don't know about you but I'm really looking forward to a Stitchy Year!

Happy Stitching,

Sam xx
