March Finishes

Here is my latest finish: I have stitched him for Katie a member of the World Wide Round Robin group on Faecebook.


I have also finished Mario's birth sampler and the first little Humphrey for Tobias' sampler. A couple of my friends were lucky enough to attend the craft show in Manchester. They've brought back a giant bag of 4Ply wool. So I'm knitting a waist coat for Tobias.

Tonight is the girls night out for me and some other mums. So there won't be any stitching tonight. No drinking though either because I'm still breastfeeding.

Wenn Mutti früh zur Arbeit geht

A new obsession? ATC's

Hi,

I don't know but somehow I always forget to update this little blog of mine. I take photos and everything but then at the 2 am feed I realize: gosh I've forgotten again. ;-)

Anyway I have been a busy bee. We are trying to get the house ready for the Christening visitors. Trying is the right word. Our house is too small or we have too much stuff. The right lottery numbers for next Saturday would help? And the we'd get a house with two reception rooms and a annexe cum stitching palace.... Well one can dream can't one?

I have joined an ATC (Artist Trading Card) group on good old Facebook. This is my first one. And yes I was naughty again and haven't read the instructions properly. I sent it off way too early. The chart was a given one. So everyone is having the same, just in different colours or blackwork.

And this a heart I've stitched for someone at the X-Stitch-monthly group on yahoo. It looks better in real because it has buttons and beads.

And here are the finished chicks.

UFO's and First Finishes

Hi everyone,

I still haven't worked out how to get gaps on here. I'm pressing the return key but that doesn't seem to work.

Well, I'm still battling with the table runner. Somehow I'm bored of it again.

So I have started this little bird. He's one of two. It looks a bit dirty on this photo but that's fortunatly just Santa shining through the aida.

I have also finished a couple of small things. These two angels are for a babyloss charity. A friend from Facebook asked for help and here they are. I think it works so much better on the 16 count but I was to use any sraps I have left.

And this lovely little chick. Isn't he cute? Well he's on Tobias' hooded bath towel. So Tobias can look REALLY sweet when he finishes his splash around :-)

And not to forget this tiny wreath. A Facebook friend has send me this lovely kit for Christmas. It'll be hanging on our Christmas tree next year!

So back to my stitching now.

Love

Bianca

UFO Challenge

Hi everyone,

I have been stitching the last few days. really I have but somehow I can not be bothered to upload the pictures. I might do it tomorrow.


I have finished the wreath. It was only small. And I could easyly stich it whilst feeding baby on the left side. The table runner is bigger. So it is rather more difficult to do so. There is a greater danger that baby T catches it when his milk makes a return visit. ;-) Well never mind. I'm doing good progress anyway. I think I'll even be able to keep going and finish it sometime. It will look great!


I don't know which UFO to pick next. I'll finish this one first.


Next weekend I'll be deciding on a pattern for a heart I'm going to stitch for an exchange group. Then my Round Robin will go on it's journey. I have picked the theme African Animals because my middle daughter loves giraffes and elephants and I adore zebras (my favourite animals are zebras and also cows)

Also I'm taking part in a PIF on Facebook. I have never done one before but I'm sure it'll keep me busy.

Oh, yes we also have been organizing T's big day. Hell be baptized on March, 27th. We have organized the church, catering, hall, entertainer and godparents. Next will be the cake....

Have a lovely day

Bianca
