I hope you have all had a pleasant weekend? Mine has been pretty relaxed, we went out for some shopping and a meal yesterday then today I have just stitched away and watching the Bob Ross marathon on Twitch - love it!
So, as expected the next cat didn't take very long at all. After coming home yesterday evening I sat down and managed to complete all the cross stitch in the cat, then today stitched up the bowl then added the back stitch to both the cat and bowl.
So as last week this will now go away until next weekend when the next cat will be stitched - so far this rotation seems to be working out well for me.
In other news I won £50 on the national lottery! Woo! So of course that has been very wisely spent on stitching stash :)
First I picked up this PDF chart from Etsy;
It's a super geeky Fallout pattern which I plan on stitching up for me and David for our wedding. I still can't decide on what fabric to use though - I don't want anything too bright.
Next I got a few more charts I've had my eye on for a while;
This is To Have and To Hold by Country Cottage Needleworks.
Again, this is for mine and David's wedding - I know why the heck do we need two wedding pieces?! But I plan on the Fallout one been for our computer/geek room while this one will probably hang in the hall or living room.
Next was At The Met by Mirabilia. I've loved this one since I first saw it. No idea when I will stitch it though!
Lastly was A Little Luck from Lizzie*Kate. I think this is a fun little stitch and I plan on stitching this one in March for St Paddy's Day, fingers crossed this shouldn't take me too long.
I've also bought some hand dyed fabric from Crafty Kitten as she has had a sale on, but I will share that with you once it arrives.
Plan for the week? To continue on Lily!
Until next time!
