A finish but..

Morning,

I have finished my Christmas exchange piece :) Sadly I can't show you yet :(  and I don't even send it till the start of next month! I hope Tiki likes it...

I have updated my 'expert waffling' page with a new rant - wahoo!

I have also decided to stitch two medium sized projects for Christmas in amongst everything else, one is the horses kit that I got from the exhibition - I started last night and will post a picture at the end of the week -it is coming along quite well in that it is quite quick to stitch.

The other piece I want to do was in Cross Stitch Gold magazine, not the latest but the one before. It is the Merry Christmas with all the snowmen. Anyone know how to calculate how long it might take me? I just need an estimate - If I know it is possible then I can see the finish line. lol!

So my list of craft jobs to be done before Christmas:

  • Update house advent calendar (which I cannot find!)
  • Stitch 11 Christmas card
  • Finish horses kit and frame it
  • Stitch snowmen chart and frame it
  • Finish knitting small scarf
  • Finish Geisha girl and frame it
I hope this is possible! If I focus it should be. Good luck with all your crafty/stitchy projects too.

Kate

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…
