Update on My SAL


Not been feeling to great to be honest with you all just been feeling so totally washed out, still suffering from cramps after the op. But have been doing lots of my SAL which i have just published on Step by step stitch alone, lol i did have a chuckle to myself as i decided to count how many stitches there was in total...it's OMG can you believe it 42423...and i've only done 3081...and i haven't done any of my other projects at all this week, so working it out roughly i guess it will take me over 13 weeks so i'll give myself a goal and say 4-5 months to complete it...i'll probably be the last to finish mind you saying that i think Gaynor's looks really hard.

Off to finish the few bottom lines of the pathment then i can start on the door.

My SAL

Evening everyone,

Have been a busy bee with my new project on SAL trying to at least catch up a bit with everyone else's project, Gaynor was very kind to add me to her step by step stitch along, this i must admit has given me a great boost as i'm still feeling horrid after my op, plus i have 3 weeks to wait until i get the results to see if all the cancer cells were removed...this waiting game has been going on since October, test after test, biopsy after biopsy. So doing my SAL is a great road to recovery and a goal for my progress. i'm not posting what i have done since yesterday on my SAL your all have to wait til the weekend when i'll add it to stitch along. But here's the photo of my project...counted cross stitch toy shop...

Past Projects



I thought i might share a few of my past projects with you, my kitchen cross stitch took me forever and i done it over 11 years ago infact whilst i was pregnant with my daughter it holds prime place on my kitchen wall, as it's already framed the photo hasn't come out to good but you can make it out.


Now my bear one is my bathroom one also done a while ago, i do love doing bears, i also have some completed big bear projects down in my mums house so i shall snap them later to post.

Finished Kitty Cat Project


As you can all tell i have been keeping to Drs instructions to take things easy and relax after my op, am in a bit of pain but i guess it can only get better, the op went well and after a few hums and hars i was allowed out on the same day, i still will not know if the proceedure to remove all the cancer cells has worked for another month, so again playing the waiting game, but fingers crossed. So here is the finished piece of the adorable kitty cats. So i'm now back on fairy project as my head seems to be more in place...weekend wishes to everyone.

Flower Fairies



Here's a most beautiful cross stitch it's a collection range from DMC, i started this last week did'nt realice it was such a large project but i love it. I will keep you up to date on the progress of this one, (think this one will be finished before Thomas) however i might be putting this one on hold for a few weeks as i am due in hospital in the middle of the week for an op, so will probably just do some wonderful small projects which my great and dearest friend sent me to help me pass the time and recover, she is a wonderful crafts lady herself and also has here own blog, please pop past and view her delightful pages and her masterpieces http://shellie-in-stitches.blogspot.com/

A project Thomas Kinkade Painter of Light



This is the start of my cross stitch of a beautiful Thomas Kinkade Painter of Light scene, it's out of the collection from Lamplight Bridge, this sewing project carefully uses light reflecting cottons and threads to give it a real life affect as you can see i have only done the bottom left hand corner. This is not an easy project as it has lots of french knots which i ready hate doing, my friend suggested ages ago to use coloured small beads instead, unfortunately i had already started this project but i will definately use the beads for the another project i am doing with faries.
