Bits and Pieces

Wow, its been nearly 2 weeks since Ive posted. Well in that time I didnt get too much stitching done, and what I did was kind of here and there on different projects with nothing getting finished :P

So what did I get done? Well a little bit of this...
Another little ornament from Janlynn
and that......
Another charity square thats almost finished
And I started on this....

A piece called 'Kookaburras' by Lesley Suzanne Davies for DMC

But my most exciting news is that last night after weeks of waiting, the threads and fabic turned up for my first ever HAED (Heaven and Eath Designs) start. And start i did if only a small start. I gridded the beginning of the design and finished my first 10 x 10 square this morning.
And to get some idea of the scale of this peice.........
Can you see my little square? LOL
The project Im doing is called Comfy Cozy, and sometime in the next 2 years should look like this....
So I have heaps of stitching ahead of me.

Now though Im off to the post offce to send Fiona a parcel that shes no doubt anxiously awaiting and then I will cross my fingers that it makes it by Thursday for her to open :-D
Happy Stitching as we approach the holidays :-)

Wow! You're brave!!! I am/was a fan of cross-stitch ... Did a lot of it before I 'stumbled upon' quilting and patchwork this year ... But, although I enjoyed working on detailed, large projects, I don't know if I would have ever attempted anything quite so BIG and intrically detailed ... It is a gorgeous design ... All designs from this company are though ... And it will be absolutely GORGEOUS when you've finished it!!! .... Found you via Fiona ( Bubz) and Cheryll (gone stitching) and love your work!! ... New follower here for sure!!!
