#18 IHSW Before....

Well, carried on working on Stepping Stone Cottage, about 900 stitches in now. Well, it still looks like...a grey/green/gold square. But the gold tones to the left are the start of a tree!


This weekend is IHSW (see my links bar) so fingers crossed I will get plenty more done and it will start to come together (maybe).

Have a happy IHSW!

#17 Stepping Stone Cottage Start

I must admit it feels good to get my hands on something new to stitch! But I made a promise to the other half that before I started my next project I would do some tidying of my craft stuff.

Our "Geek Room" is now complete - with the exception of a few wall decorations etc and this is the first post I am writing from it! Wooo!

So, the rest of Saturday night was spent winding threads on to bobbins while watching the Olympics (Go Mo!) Look how good I was!


So Sunday saw the start of Stepping Stone Cottage. I didn't get a whole lot done thanks to the Olympics but still managed to get about 450 stitches in before the closing ceremony (Oh how I am missing it already!).

I am also trying parking for the first time after hearing some of the other ladies on the Facebook group talking about it. So far I like it, certainly seems to speed things up.

12-08-12 Day 1

Until next time!
