more new finishes

I have just added n new photos of this weeks stitching. I have done 3 more Sanman original freebie charts, 2 are the same one only different colours and I omitted the lettering on the side and bottom. And i have cheated again too, because they are stitched on white i didn't stitch the white bits hence me having so many finishes each week LOL

I have also managed to do a little bit of stitching on Fairy Moon (i will post and update on her tomorrow) and have started a RR, kitted up another RR apart from the threads that are missing which should arrive the early part of next week.

17 years ago today............

.............was my wedding day, my how time flies by so much. I was 18 yrs old when we married and some people said we wouldn't last 6 months, well how wrong they were!!!!

We have been through an awful lot of stuff in those 17 yrs but we have come through it on the other side smiling - thank goodness!

So here's to me and my hubby and for the next however many years we have together

what Tarot card are you?

You are The Empress

Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.

The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents,
beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home
decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.

The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.

january 4th

Well thanks to Debi yesterday my stitching slump has now gone again. Debi sent me a freebie chart that i decided to kit up along with Ouroborus and last night i got it started and finished the border part of it.

This morning i have started the lettering. Am hoping to get it done in a couple of days so that i can move on to something else preferrably the dragon or i will work on one of the WIP/UFO's i have in my box

Happy stitching

January 3rd - stitching slump :-(

Since finishing the passione ricamo sampler on New Years Eve i havent been able to find anything that has caught my eye to stitch to the point that everything i have looked at i have turned my nose up at including freebies, my UFO's which i went through yesterday and searching online for something that jumps out at me.

I don't really want to start another BAP but if that is what it takes then i might have to. If i do i think it will be a dragon. A nice big purple one called Ouroborus by Dracolair. You can see him http://www.sewandso.co.uk/cgi-bin/find/db.cgi?db=zoom&do=search_results&Prod_Code=31917&ww=1 I might just get the threads later but convert them to anchor threads as i can get those in town and i already have some nice sparkly fabric to stitch him on

the weather has turned icy cold here again. We are forecast a really cold January and some parts of the country have been forecast temperatures of -17 which is really really cold for us. We have also been forecast snow for the next couple of days, can't see it amounting to much but if we get some before the kids go back to school they will love it especially chris

well whatever you are doing stay warm and safe
