#61 I am a really slow stitcher!

As the weekend comes to a close I have realised something, what a slow stitcher I am! Looking at everyone else who is working on the HAED BB SAL everyone is MILES ahead of me already. I feel like the Turtle and everyone else is the Hare, except I expect them all to win the "race".

Never mind, I am enjoying it none the less. I got about another 200-300 stitches in this week - another block at the top then I decided to make a start on the bottom of the page to see if I could find the first tiger. As you can see I am still on the hunt!

Also this week I got in another 400 stitches in to Mini The Black - guess what colour it was?! Yep! Good old 310!

Please forgive the terrible lighting - I forgot to take a photo while we still had daylight!

Well the snow has now started to fall, only lightly at the moment but it is there, looking like a dusting of icing sugar everywhere. According to the weather it is going to snow from now until tomorrow night - I can only dream of waking up tomorrow morning to find so much I can't get to work... ;) hehehe.

I cannot complain really, I have a short week at work as I have booked a days holiday on Friday, I have no plans really so I am hoping I can sit and stitch to my hearts content - you have to treat yourself every now and again right?

Hope everyone has a great week!

#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
