A WIP with my friend Kate


My friend Kate has the Penguins on Ice kit in her stash that she started a while ago so I came across the same kit. This week we decided to stitch a penguin a week ! Here is my update. I had already stitched one penguin so number two is the cute one with earmuffs ! !

Oops forgot one


Ooops I forgot the RR square I completed a few days ago for an open theme aida rr which had a bird theme, so I chose this lovely American Goldfinch and butterfly design.

I stitched this for Sue in Canada.

Completed Mr Men & Little Miss Calendar



Sorry I had to do this as two photos but you get the idea ! !


Mr Men and Little Miss Calendar update


I've finally completed this project now. I finished the July square on 24th January 2007 !


I'll try and get a photo of the completed thing soon.


A new finish



Well I completed one of the two squares that were left to do on my Calendar RR when it returned home. I decided to do the Mr Men & Little Miss Calendar by Bothy Threads. I did January when I originally sent it out and I completed the May square on 23rd January 2007 !


Here is a link to what the completed Calendar looks like. Photo on the right of the completed May square

It's the weekend again


Well it's Saturday again sigh ! Where does the week go. As soon as I finish teaching at 3pm today I am going to settle down for a comfortable weekend of stitching and reading.

I finally finished a Wedding Anniversary Sampler on Tuesday for my parents Ruby Wedding Anniversary and succeeded in completing it a whole month in advance ! !

I have so many WIPS and UFO's that I am going to sort through them all this weekend and make a list of the ones that I want to work on to get them finished.

I am currently reading my way through Robert B Parker's Spenser detective books and have read 3 so far this year and am halfway through the 4th.

May have another update later today on the WIPS and UFO's.
