I've been naughty...

I have had a new start!!

It's the Winter Mandala by Ink Circles, which was featured in the Jan/Feb issue of JCS mag. The Spring Mandala is in the next issue which I will be getting as well.

The colour is not brilliant in this picture.

I will be busy the next couple of weeks, my Mum has been given the keys to her Bungalow, and it needs redecorating all the way through, Luckily she still has her house to stay in whilst we do it for her.

I hope everyone is well and stitching lots!

Talk soon

Half a Bird!!

Have you enjoyed the snow or detested it?

Well it is on it's way out here, we were supposed to get more Sat/Sun but as usual the forecasters got it wrong again.

I finished this the other day, but I'm not gonna make it up yet, need some cardstock first, so thought I'd show you the progress

Working on an exchange piece at the moment, I think I will try and keep up with the exchanges I will be doing this year by putting a box in the sidebar so I can see what I have left to do.

*WARNING IF YOU ARE SQUEEMISH*

Do not read the following text!

Well I got a fright today, Bella had brought in half a Pidgeon, Yes that's right Half, the bottom half as I recognise the type of feet. I had fun getting it off her as she went outside with it trailing between her legs and she was hissing and growling at me. But I  managed to get it and it was finally disposed of!!!

Look at them here, Butter wouldn't melt!!!

Oh nearly forgot I have taken over the running of the Beatrix Potter Quaker sampler blog, So if you have this to stitch and would like to join us just email me. The same goes for the Ink Circle Stitchers blog if you have an Ink Circles Design to do email me and I'll send you an invitation. Or even if you would like to offer encouragement. That would be much appreciated

2010 Stitch-a-long

I just wanted to let you know about a new stitch-a-long for 2010, It is for Ink Circles designs, Do you have any Ink Circles Charts you really need to stitch on that have been sat in your stitching bag, or is there a new start you have been just itching to start. Well why not come over to Ink Circle Stitchers and join in, if you post 10 out of 12 months progress you will be entered into a draw to win a gift.
Any one who has a Ink Circles Project can come on over and join.
I look forward to seeing you there, even if it's just to comment and offer encouragement to those stitching.
