Mini Rose Anderson

With all the talk of it being a year since the Olympics and there being an Anniversary Games Mini Rose Anderson started shouting from my wip box to be worked on.  This is what she should look like when she is finished.

This is what she looked liked at the end of the Olympic Games in 2012.

 This is what she looks like after I worked on her this week.  Not a huge amount of progress but some is better than none.  She has now gone back in the wip box.

It is the 2013 Freebie SAL on the HAED Bulletin Board this week so I have started working on Literate Dragon again and will post my progress next week.

Until next time, happy stitching

A.W.O.L.

Both myself and my stitchy bug have been AWOL for the last month.  I had my new Olympic start and was really enjoying it but due to being so engrossed in the Olympics I haven't stitched as much as I would have liked.  Even whilst on holiday my stitchy bug didn't put in an appearance.  I have nearly finished page 1on Mini Rose by HAED but not quite but will show you a picture anyway.

I have to put this aside now as my husband has put his foot down with a firm hand and told me I HAVE to start his Chelsea Football Club logo or he is putting the Iron Maiden poster up in my front room especially since I have stitched for other people and not him.  So what's a girl to do.  So in the next couple of weeks I will be starting it after I have stitched my monthly ornament SAL with Angela and Lisa's RR that needs to be posted shortly.  At least I will have something to show you.

I am late again for my TUSAL but here its picture although there is not a lot of difference from last month.

Thank you to everyone who takes the time to leave a comment.  I don't say thank you enough but it really does make my day and I do appreciate it.

Until next time, happy stitching

New Olympic Start!

A fellow stitcher on the HAED BB shared that it was a tradition of hers to start a new piece for the Olympics and there were quite a few ladies from some HAED Facebook groups that caught onto the idea and were starting something new.  Not me I thought I do not need a new start.  But my will power being what it is I found myself Friday afternoon going through my charts to see what threads I had for which chart.  It turned out I had quite a few of the threads needed for the first page for Mini Rose by Rachel Anderson.  So the idea is to work on this through the Olympics and have it finished by the next Olympics.

So here is what Mini Rose will look like when it is finished 

and my progress so far

Not as much as I would have liked as I have been unwell with suspected food poisoning and for a couple of days didn't feel much like doing any but since I have taken my two boys clothes shopping today and as any mum of boys will tell you it is not fun I think I deserve an evening of stitching lol.


I would like to thank you all that left comments on my previous post it really meant a lot to me, thank you.


Until next time, happy stitching
