July IHSW

During the July IHSW I stitched some more of the triangles of Herbularius part 11. They are easy to stitch, but slowing down and a bit boring. I try to keep focused on the lovely plants between the triangles (part 12) as some kind of reward.
And my extra bonus is a new start: Hortus Viridarium.

My dragonfly socks are finished!

And I added some more blocks to the Civil War Chronicles quilt month 12 piles. Still 57 blocks to go.

Thank you for your kind comments and birthday wishes to Cleo. They are much appreciated.

Raffle 2012 finished

The beads arrived, so I could finish this lovely small Chatelaine mandala garden. Because I didn't have enough leftovers of the Dinky Dyes 'nashi' to stitch all the bricks in the wall I used DMC 733 for them.

Today is Cleo's birthday. She is 18 years old now!

Raffle 2012 update

All the stitching of Chatelaine's Raffle 2012 garden is done! Now I have to wait till the postman brings me the bead pack I ordered from ECC. This package also includes the fabric and beads for the Hortus Viridarium. The threads are already waiting in a box. I wonder how long I can resist another new start ;o)

Welcome to all my new followers!
Thank you all for your visits and lovely comments.

Raffle 2012

Although I have plenty of unfinished Chatelaine projects (and also loads of others) I just couldn't resist a new start.

This is the consolidation prize of Chatelaine's May 2012 Raffle, 'a lovely garden with flowering roses, a brick wall covered with moss and fern and a beautiful lacy scrolled iron ourside' as the description says.

Dragonfly socks

The dragonfly pattern is a bit hidden in the colours of the yarn. I never thought this yarn would show so many surprising changes of colours!
I really am enjoying the knit-along Dee organizes.

Thank you for your lovely comments.
