new technique finish and SAL week 2

this weekend is to be a new tenchnique finish for Fatema and myself. I started to stitch a bookmark from the Artcey website called lady sillhoutte. All the stitching is done i just need to actually finish it off as a bookmark.

Now my 3 daughters have seen the stitching they both want a bookmark too, luckily 2 of them have birthdays coming up so I will stitch them for then.

My SAL week last week wasn't too good as I was nearing finishing the first page when i found a big mistake on the border. Now to work out whether to frog the whole border OR to doctor the border so that it fits so I put Ouroborus away after 3 days of working on him but at least i made some progress which I am pleased about.

Starting from today I should be working on the next weeks SAL which is going to have to be split between the number 5 project that my eldest daughter picked out for me and the beading SAL on StitchersHeaven yahoo group and somewhere along the way i have the Summer SAL to do on my yahoo group.

Home life for the week started off quite exciting but sadly went downhill rapidly on Friday, but thats ok i can pick myself up, dust myself off and start again with it all.

The kids have had quite a nice week at home, we have actually had some sun and hot sticky weather. They have been able to have the pool up outside for a few days and have also managed to sleep outside in the tent though I think tonight will be the last night they do that as i think the weather is on the change again.

I am going now to sort out the Summer SAL i think as one member on the group has already finished hers and it looks really nice so i want one too now lol.

Happy stitching everyone
