Oh the shame!

What can I say really but I am currently feeling a little embarrassed. Today started off quite well. I was at the local craft shop at opening time and picked up some wool and some 28ct light blue evenweave. My mum came along as she needed a few bits and she also bought me some new embroidery scissors - I think she was fed up with me borrowing hers. So with the sun shining brightly outside, I decided to stay in and sort out some of my sewing stuff as it was taking over my room. I am back living with my mum after separating from my husband (amicably) a year ago and although the room is large - I just cant seem to find any space.

Over the last year my husband has been bringing my things over, I sort them out and de-clutter and squeeze them into the room,  he came over today with some more stuff.......some sewing stuff.....?!

Its like Christmas - lots of gifts and a trip down memory lane.

I didn't realise I had any AWOL UFO/WIPS. But as it turns out I do. I am quite ashamed at how many things I have started and not finished in the past. It seems to have been a lifelong pattern. On the bright side though I am motivated again and I have lots of projects to swap between to stop me getting bored. I think I am going to try and get them closer to being finished and leave starting anything new until the new year.

I have added some more images to the Cover Kits page - how did I get so many? I also have a few more images on my WIPs page. All I need to do now is decide on a rotation.  Has anyone else lived in ignorant bliss of long lost UFOs?

  1. I'm more of a finisher than a starter, so I have a handful of WIPs, at the most. :) Happy decluttering though, and I'm looking forward to seeing your finishes.

    BTW... are you staying on blogger or moving to Wordpress? I had updated my blogroll to WP, but it was a good think that snooped down your sidebar cos I saw your new posts on here. :) Just wanted to make sure I know where to go. ;)

  2. I hope to be a finisher too soon enough :)

    I am staying on blogger for now - I know, I know, I confuse myself a lot of the time :)

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…
