Hearing Static..

Or thats probably what you feel like your hearing from my blog lol. Ive been quiet, mainly for 2 reasons,
1. Im trying to get some finishes done
2. No camera batteries!!

And as we're going away this weekend to visit family I promise plenty of photos of said finishes on Monday :)

Also next week there may just be some stash collecting to share as well, if I stalk wait for the postman.

I will have to do my FNSI post on Monday also, as I will be joining in once all the packing is done!

Happy Stitching!!!

A very important reminder (and *SNK* eyecandy)

A friend shared this on facebook, and I thought if any of you havent seen it yet, its worth a look :) A very well delivered message for us ladies. hehehe

A Finish

Yes as promised I have achieved the impossible simple task of a finish. But not the originally expected 1.

Source: Freepatterns.com

Fabric: Aida

Threads as recommended

Started: 3rd of October 2011

Finished: 10th of October 2011

Now this week I will be concentrating on 'Tis The Season', who knows I just might have another finish next week :)

Happy Stitching through the week :)

Keeping the Postman busy....

....with these 8 beauties, headed to Fiona today :)

I have been stitching but unfortunatly it has been on projects that I can't show just yet ;)
I'll be back to do my October post a little later but right now Im off to the post office and LNS.

Happy Stitching everyone as I stitch along in the warming Spring sunshine :)

Some Questions

Ok so Im a cross stitcher who hardly ever gets around to 'finishing' as in framing,sewing ect. any of her projects. Bad I know lol. For myself I rather framing at the moment as the thought of sticky fingers on a much laboured over pillow or something is something I dont like to consider. Maybe when they're a little older :) But I look at all the nice finishes people around Blogg land come up with and I wonder, how do you know what faric to use and does it mean a seperate trip to LNS with every finished project?

I went to my LNS today and was quite disappointed as they had no 32cnt Linen, which I needed, only larger/smaller counts. Also another burning question is how much linen/Aida do you leave around a border? I always cut mine too close and now I have a few projects that I think 'how am I going to frame this?' lol.

Happy Stitching this weekend and I will leave you now with the hint that I may have a finish to share this week, just maybe :-D

Spring Progress

I decided to wait for a week to post this time as I wanted to be able to show some decent progress :)I have been reading blogs and commenting here and there, just not posting.

So what else have I been up to? Well I'll let the pictures tell the tale...

Orange kitty now has 2 ears :-D

And the 1st little kitty is appearing in '4 Seasons Kitties'

And now Im getting ready for my sister to visit for a few days which will mean a lot of shopping (hopefully framing) and a lot of talking :)

Happy Stitching Everyone as we approach the end of another month :)

A Goal Finish

A finish of sorts and I'll take it for now. All 10 hours on my '2 Kitties' Project are done for this month. So this is how I will leave it for now.....

Now its back to '4 Seasons Kitties' for a while.

Happy Stitching into this wonderful weekend :D
