#60 YOTA! Jan 2013

Well yesterday was the first YOTA hosted by Pull The Other Thread. I decided to work on something that has been neglected for such a long time.

This was one of the first kits I bought when I decided to start Cross Stitching again. It was a case of what I could get my hands on at the time. I got about 20 stitches in then got distracted by something else...

Stupidly I forgot to take a picture before I started so for this month I only have the after photo...

So, fingers crossed I will have made more progress by the time February YOTA is upon us.

Before I go I also want to recommend a new blog to you, http://spectrumstitching.blogspot.co.uk/ This is a fairly new blog, only starting in December but she does some great projects (if you are members of the groups on Facebook you may recognise them) so take a look if you have the time :)

Will update again later on the rest of my stitching this week

Enjoy your Sunday

#59 2013 TUSAL No1 & Goodies!

Good evening, here is my first TUSAL of 2013 hosted by Daffycat - this year I am using an old Yankee Candle jar to hold them :)

This week the postman has been ever so good to me with all these arriving over the last couple of days. I ordered the 365 Cross Stitch at the end of last year. It has patterns in from Joan Elliott and Margaret Sherry along with loads of others. It does have a few patterns which I already have from magazines, but still plenty I know I will stitch eventually.

The rest are from Sewandso - they had a sale so how could I say no?! I also got a few more things but I can't show you them as the people who they are intended for might see... ;) hehehe.

Tomorrow is the first ever YOTA hosted by Pull The Other Thread. Basically once a month everyone works and posts pictures of long overdue UFOs in the hope by the end of the year we have made some progress! I have something in mind, it is pretty old, I don't think I have ever worked on it while blogging, I will need to find it first of course!

So far there are 17 of us taking part, click the link if you would like to join in the fun or find out more :)

I will post again at the end of the weekend with my stitching progress.

Have a great weekend everyone! :)
