70th birthday card

I finished this 70th birthday card last night for my friends mum. I have done more on my angel and hoping to post another update soon.

latest wip

I took this pic last week but have struggled to upload it. I have done a little more since. I need to get a move on now so that i can finish and frame it for christmas.I dont know how long it will take me to add all those beads.

I haven't done much stitching since i got back from my holiday. I haven't lost my stitchy bug,i'm just so tired.I am managing half a hour here and there. I have just started a card for a friends 70th birthday so will post a pic when i've finished.

New pic of my WIP

I haven't done any stitching today because i have been cleaning ALL DAY!! but i dont know why because the kids will mess it up before we go on our hols on Thursday morning.At least my neighbour who will be feeding the cats won't think i sit on my bum all day stitching! ;-). Anyway here is my latest pic of my angel.I didn't quite do all the metallic on the red part of the dress but getting there.The next time i post will probably be after my hols so bye for now xx

My Car Boot Bargain

I reluctantly went to a car boot sale this morning but glad i did.I got this box of 55 anchor threads for 50p!!! I usually use DMC but i'm sure i will find a use for them:) I got quite a few books for my Holiday reading too :D

Thankyou card for my neighbour

Well the kreinik is a bit slow as the threads break so easy but heres a close up of what ive been doing.I wasn't sure how many strands to use so i have used three which look good.I will post a pic of the whole wip before i go on my hols next week.I have just finished this cute Margaret Sherry mouse and made it into a card for my neighbour who will be looking after my 3 cats.

kreinik threads

I am just stitching the metallics on the angels dress.What a nightmare,this is going to take forever!! I was going to wait until the end to add the metallics but then it may become a UFO!! The beads will go on last.Will take a piccie when ive done which could take a while!
