OK Mel

Fess up now................you have a clone, right? To have finished all those projects-Santa's Magic, Firefly Fairies, and all that much of the draggie. Maybe there is something to this "don't start something until you've finished something else" gig. Shhhhhhh, don't tell Annette I said that, will you? ;)

I'm Baa-aack!

Had a good time-was very windy for a day and a half, but nobody and nothing blew away (mainly because we dismantled Luke's tent before this could happen lol). I took my Patchwork Sampler with me-I needed something fairly straight forward to take-this is my project that I currently take with me to the Guild each week as I need something I can stitch when I talk. I did knit when I was away-I started & finished a pair of fingerless mittens for Caitlin-and she loves them-she would be sleeping with them if I had let her lol. I also worked on my Mongolian jumper-the front is almost done, so only 2 sleeves after that to be done. I am hoping to get some up-to-date WIP pics taken in the next day or so..........tomorrow I have to wash clothes, shop for food, and take Caitlin to/from a birthday party, but I might get a little spare time for that.

What is this with Sooz & knitting?? Or is she madly stitching on Villa? Or maybe she has started something new?.........so much has been going on this last few days I have been away-BB meltdowns, the Yarn Harlot got married.........just 5 days and everything goes berserk.

Mel-I need pics. I need to see the framed pieces and the dragon. It is your duty-maybe if you think of it as convincing us to finish things, it might spur you on to post some pictures-it is easy I swear.

Annette-I will catch up with you soon-we need to gossip ;)

I am still here......well, kind of

Just thought I had better touch base with you guys........... I haven't been online much just lately, so I hope you have all been behaving yourselves! (yes, ALL of you lol) It is the school holidays here and we are off for a 5 day caravan holiday (see my blog for more-but not much more-details). I will catch up with you all when we get back. Annette-I am thinking of you-take the best care of yourself that you can- and keep an eye on Mel & Sooz while I am away ;)

Ta Daaaaaaa!

Here I am, better late than never I suppose. Lovely looking blog girls with some very nice piccies. Sooz, Villa Mirabilia looks stunning and I think the mermaids floss toss looks pretty good too. Lovely start on your Celtic lady there Leonie! Has Mel already told you that my *choice* ( and iI do use the word choice rather loosely) was Crystal Christmas? Leonie? Are you joining us on that one?
Speaking of leonie...she has very cleverly worked out what my mystery WIP is. No Mel, it isnt Bunny On The Path. Would a piccy of a large amount of stitches that amounts to a depressingly small amount of chart covered, help in identification?

There you go...knock yourselves out!

Celtic Autumn


Here is a pic of what I have done so far........I am doing the original colours with the Needlepaints, as I love purple!! It is stitched on Stitches and Spice Jobelan 28ct- colour Tundra.

Please excuse the picture-it is draped over the washing line outside lol.

Sooz, your Villa is looking just lovely-it must be fun to stitch with all those bright colours. The floss toss is looking great too-I take it that you found all the bits and pieces you were looking for.

Mel, I think we need a picture (or two) from you-anything will do. I can give you some help to post, but really it is pretty easy!

Latest news-Annette has a Mystery WIP. Since she can't use her srcoll rods/frame at the moment, she has started something new..........now the hints she gave me were

  1. it's a HAED
  2. it has 50 colours
  3. it's not a huge one but not a QS
  4. it may not have 939 (she's not sure so if it has some, it's a small amount)
  5. she has so far done 80 stitches or so in brown BUT she didn't start at the botton left as usual.......

I have no idea what it might be-I will have to have a browse to see if I can guess..........

Me next!

Hi there Sooz! You are welcome-I will learn as we go. I have no idea what I will stitch. I am contemplating my Celtic Autumn which is a WIP but not very far along. I reserve the right to completely change my mind as it could be over a month before we start. Can we see a WIP pic anywhere Sooz??

If anyone has any links they would like to add, just let me know-I can do that bit! lol

Oh, and I will use green, if it looks OK.
