#32 light colours are a pain to photo!

Good Evening!

Today has been nothing but rain and a little bit more rain on top of that! So I did some stitching, I guess there is always a silver lining.

First, I did a bit more work on Twilight Magic, this first page is driving me a little crazy now as it is nothing but background colour, so even when I get it done all it will be is a huge block of colour! I'm tempted to move on to the next page as then I will get to work on the girls hair, but no, for now at least I will keep on stitching away on the background. I guess it needs doing sooner or later.

So this is what it looked like the last time I showed you...

And here it is now!

Not much for two weeks is it? Although you can't see in the photo that well the large block on the right hand side is a mixture of a few colours. Maybe next time I will try to photo in daylight and perhaps it will show up better.

Today, I worked on something I hadn't touched for ages, but with the reminder it is now less than 100 days to Christmas (eek!)  I thought I better crack on with it and get some more done.

The last time I left it looking like this;


And now it looks like this;


I'm not sure if you can even see it in the photo but I added the bears hand, his front legs and his skis.

Can't believe the weekend is nearly over once again and with the arrival of the the new World of Warcraft expansion this week I fear my stitching may suffer even more than it already has these past few weeks.

I hope everyone else's is more successful than mine!

#31 SAL time!

This week I have signed up for two SALs! I rather excited as I have never done one before so hoping it will be fun :)

The first is been hosted by Fiore and is a year long SAL for Mirabilia Dressmaker's Daughter. Sign up is still available if you would like to join!


The second is something smaller which is hosted by Agneta for some Christmas Gingerbread men - how cute!


So I think this afternoon will be spent doing some shopping for the materials then getting on with something else until they arrive - what that will be yet, I don't know. I will update tomorrow though once I decide!
