Gosh I have been busy!


Yes I was really busy for the Friday Night Sew in.. I totally forgot to post yesterday!! I was so engrossed with what I was doing all I wanted to do was finish it!  And I am pleased to say I have!!!

Want to see what I have been doing...

It started like this...


Then grew a little more...


Into this...


I made it for my mum as she loves witches... 

I stitched it on 32 count permin linen  and use felt to back it.  I really enjoyed this one, a lot of fun to make...

If you recognize its this... "You forgot my car seat" by Prairie Moon.

... I just did not use all the design... photo taken from 123.stitch .com



Oh I have not neglected my Blue Ribbon Design.. "Garden Sampler"... not at all...

Here is an up date on that...


This is what I did... the last 2 sections ready to be filled then its complete!


And we bought some bake from the tin Pain au chocolate... mmmm


These were a lovely 'naughty' treat... I had 2 :)

My Friday night with Friends spread to Saturday too!! And I had a whale of a time :)

I hope you all had fun ...

Well back to my stitching... 

Thank You for popping in and feel free to leave a comment :)

smiles to you all :)

  10. Wow, you really do have smoking needles! I suppose that is what happens when you don't have small children anymore. I guess Hannah puts herself to bed now LOL.
    The witch looks great, you're getting good at these ornie finishes too.

  17. Great stitch and finish. I see you're putting masking tape around the edge of your fabric. I don't bother to do anything with my edges (and I've been stitching since 1997!) yes they fray a bit but I find they stop after 1/4 inch or so and less waste than cutting that tape away... and you can start right away!!
