Goonies Update

Was expecting a whole day of stitching on the BFs secret Bday pressie today but, bless him!!, he popped round unexpectedly to cheer me up. Love him to bits but, 5 minute warning next time please!! This is as far as I got today.

ANOTHER unexpected stitching day!!

After all the fun I had Monday/Tuesday getting the car exhaust fixed have been working hard to catch up with my clients but, but, but.....Cant believe this.....On the way home from work today, the power steering pump on my car blew up, Aaarghhh........Cant be fixed til Monday so, yet again, I have another unexpected stitchy day & the start of a 4 day weekend. On a plus side, hope to get lots done :)

An unexpected stitching day!

Was ment to be working today but, had problem with my car exhaust so, popped down garage 1st. After ordering the new part & being assured my exhaust wouldnt fall off & was safe, I set off for work......Erm, about a mile down the road, guess what fell off. Anyway, after being rescued by neighbour (exhaust was still attatched by one little joint & bouncing down the road behind me) finally got myself & car home & settled down to an extra bit of stitching time on the BFs 'Goonies Never Say Die' piece.

Half way there :0)

Got a decent bit of time on the Nights Watch Oath today so, Im half way there. Have just noticed, there is an awful lot of text involved in all the pieces I have chose for this years challenge!!

Sort of more stash again!

Not cross stitch related but, got my new knitting bag today, love it. Now just got to start knitting again!!!

New stash!!

OK, I know I said I wouldnt this year but, new stash alert :0)

Not that much of an update!!!

Well, didnt get another 6 lines of text done over the weekend, only just managed 3 lines......Every stitch counts though, at least thats what Im telling myself at the moment!!

Lovely day out & Nights Watch Oath update

Lovely day out with my sister today, good food & the new wool shop was fantastic (& sold floss, double bonus)
Stitched another 4 rows of text on this one today, makes this one a quarter finished. Hoping I can get another 6 rows done by the end of the weekend so its half done :0)

Cactus & stitching dont mix!!!

No stitching for me the last few days. Had an interesting accident with a high speed flying cactus (that I turned out to be allergic too) but, on a plus, feeling less swollen now so, stitching tomorrow. Also, seeing little sis & going to hobbycraft & a new wool shop Ive been told about tomorow , plus lunch, the weekend is looking good smile emoticon

OCD stitching rant!!

OCD stitching alert!! 
Well didnt get much more done on this in the end as I ran out of floss BUT while stitching, I realised the letter 'I' was missing from the alphabet. 
Rechecked the chart/original piccie etc but, yes, I was right, the designer left it out. 
I couldnt stitch it like that once Id noticed, it would have always stuck right out to me so, did a bit of editing & have now squeezed it in even though I will have to leave one of the little hearts out.....Rant over xxx

Change projects

This one started calling to me so, we've had a project change. Am loving stitching this one, think I'll stick with it for the weekend :0)

A little bit of progress!!

Kind of lost my stitching mojo after starting 32 in 32 days but, its coming back & have made a little bit of progress on 'I stitch to keep the voices quiet'

Day 32, YEYYYY

Yeyyyyy, Ive done it, 32 starts in 32 days, now all Ive got to do is finish them this year!!  This one is 'I stitch to keep the voices quiet'.  Biggest problem now though, is trying to work out what I want to stitch on , so many choices :0)
