#47 IHSW part 1

I have so much to share, so this months updates will be in two parts over the weekend! I really am spoiling you all :) hehe

 

First, I won a prize! Dear Lee over at Notes from under the Mountain informed me I was the 150th follower and as a small token of appreciation wanted to send me a little something, how fun :D So in a couple of weeks I will be postman stalking - always nice to have something to look forward to!

Secondly, I want to invite you all to join in the 2013 YOTA over at Pull The Other Thread. Basically the first Saturday of each month we will show work on a long neglected WIP in the hope it will help us get it finished. I think it sounds like a great idea and will definitely make me get some long overdue progress on some of my WIPS/UFOs! 

Now, stitching. Today I started and finished a little something, hooray! This cute garland came free with Cross Stitcher issue 257. It was my first time stitching on card and I think it has turned out quite nice and I know just the place it will be hung in December.

As suspected I did eventually join the HEAD BB SAL. It took me a while to decide but in the end I settled on QS Mystic Garden. The rules this year are slightly different in that for each half page you finish you get one of the other charts! I like the sound of that!

Something tells me this will be confetti hell heaven, but I like a challenge!

Lastly, Mr Postman was ever so kind to me this morning and delivered my thread pack for Mini Transcendence! YAY! I was to start right this second sooo much but I am going to be good and wait for the new year.

Mini Transcendence Goodies! 

Sadly this photo does not show the beautiful hand dyed fabric at its best, but click Here to see it in all its glory!

Hope you are all having a great weekend!

#46 Back in the Classroom

I am so tired this week, the last three days I have been on a first aid course, it's amazing how tiring it can be learning all day again. Every night I have come home and then fallen in to bed about 8pm!

But, today I passed! Yay! I was thinking of treating myself to some new stash to celebrate, but as yet I am trying to refrain, but we will see how long that lasts!

Just dropping by with a couple reminders, this weekend is IHSW. Click below to join in the fun! I am looking forward to this one, it feels like today should be Friday already but I still have two days at work - URGH!


Also, for you HAED lovers out there, the 2013 BB Sal sneak peeks are up showing which charts its going to be. Part of my wants to join in but none immediately jumped out at me so at the moment I have not decided. Perhaps once the sign ups are open I might turn in to the green eyed monster and want to join the fun, hehe :D
I will update at the weekend with new photos. 
Have a great week everyone!
