And we are off...

Yesterday was the deadline to join the stitch St nick exchange and it is going to be me and Tiki taking part. It is a shame that there aren't more of us but having read everyone's blogs I can see that we are all busy busy.

I am really looking forward to doing it, I just need to decide on something that Tiki will like. My thinking cap is well and truly on.

I am also busy thinking about travelling - I have for a long time wanted to go to Southeast Asia and the USA (having never been to either) and I now have a chance to go! I am even thinking of a round-the-world trip. Ideally I would leave in November but it is more likely to be January. It is exciting all the same but needs a lot of planning! and concentration, so I need to get on an sort it all out so I can start stitching for the exchange.  I will be going alone and that is what is the biggest hurdle to going...I just have to remember to breathe...and to just do it..but it doesn't stop me from being nervous.  I will let you know now that between stitchy updates there might be a few travel questions thrown in -and I hope you don't mind me asking them.

I better start looking for a chart for the exchange.....and I have some to post off to people who were wanting some charts that I have gathering dust! lol

I hope you all had a great weekend!

Whats 11 months between friends?

Hey there

I have spent a fair bit of the year on instagram, just because I try to avoid wittering on, but I miss this blog and although I need to tidy it up...it is one if the things I want to focus on more in 2020.

So lets get up to date...

Some stitchy finishes this year....

This was completely new - a pattern by Durene Jones - the idea is that it is a FFO stocking. It was a quick stitch and I loved all of it except stitching the white.

This was a new start and a finish this year, its Bothy Threads row of dinosaurs - i had some issues with this and made some design changes. It also needs to be fully finished along with the rest.

This was in a magazine and I want to say it was designed by Emma Congdon...? when FFO it should be an envelope to put your childs letters to santa in.

This was stitched for Halloween. It was taken from a magazine and when FFO'd is a 3D monster mansion. The original colours were greens and I made other changes. Hopefully, I will get some time to write the…

10 things about stitching with plastic canvas (30)

Okay so that is a ridiculously long title, not catchy at all, but I wanted to be clear...hehehe...
**I changed the name of the post! lol Nothing lasts forever...but trust me...it was really long!**
So this is it! My final list post...yes, yes, I took my time but its here!
Its actually a combination post, because whilst stitching this weekend my brain was whirring away and thinking about the task in hand and I made some notes in my mind as to what I would write in my next blog post. Well, after I had been mentally wittering away it did occur to me that I was liable to be accused of teaching my grandmother to suck eggs unless I made a point of stating that it really is aimed at beginners. However, those cross stitch lifers who so very kindly comment on my posts may have some extra tips too and feel free to add them.
So less of the waffling....but before I start the list...a little more waffling....
My last blog post was about the Christmas Ornie SAL that I have joined and will be parti…
