Victoria Quaker's Update

As well as some secret "hush hush" stitching, I was able to get quite a bit of progress made on my AMAP's Victoria Quaker over my holiday break . The bottom half of the chart is now completed.

Its Saturday lunch time here and not a very pleasant day, after all the lovely sunshine and warmth of the past few days, today its much cooler and with grey skies. There's been a few scattered rain showers too. Hannah is with her Nannie & Grandad today, she had an overnight stay with them last night as Glenn and I had a function to go to out to. It was a lovely evening spent with friends but a rather late night, or early morning should I say, lol. 

Enjoy your weekend x

Little Bits

These two projects I've got on the go are ones that I tend to do "a little bit here and a little bit there" on every few days.

I absolutely love the colours used in Lizzie Kate's Christmas ABCs, my stitchalong with Kath and Clare.

and AMAP's Victoria's Quaker is coming along very slowly.

At long last the Just Cross Stitch ornament preview magazine finally made an appearance in our local book shop - several of the designs featured will be on my ornie to do list very soon.

Speaking of Just Cross Stitch , I was excited to spot the cover for this year's ornaments magazine at Anita Little Stitches, it looks like a goodie!

Before the Weekend

Before the weekend starts I thought I'd share an update on what I've been working on lately. These pics are actually from last week as the past few days have been all about knitting and reading!

My Needle and Thread - I'm so enjoying stitching on this and would like to have it finished in the next week or two. I must check up with my friend Clare and see how she's progressing.




Next is my first progress pic of My Lady's Quaker by AMAP, I've chosen my own colour combination for this.

I've also tried to fit in a bit of crocheting, this is going to be a small dolly blanket which I'm donating for a sales table at an up and coming local arts and crafts exhibition.

Remember the other day I mentionned one of my good friends gave me some knitting for Hannah? I finally got some decent pics of Hannah wearing her new hat and coat, without her monkeying around, lol. Isn't this set just gorgeous, I'd love this for myself, being in one of my favourite colours of course!

See you soon x
