#62 - Welcome, IHSW and a Party!

Oh my! My followers have certainly jumped up in numbers this past week or so :D

Hello and welcome to you all - I hope you enjoy your stay in my little corner of the world.

I guess I will have to start thinking of a giveaway when I hit 100! ;)

Just a gentle reminder folks that this weekend is IHSW - hurrah! As I mentioned in my previous post I also have Friday off work so even more time to stitch, stitch, stitch away, and even more reason to make sure I get plenty done this time!

If you have no idea what I am talking about or would like to join in then visit Ramdom Ramblings or click the picture below :)


Also on the 19th is 2 Bags Full's event - Grow Your Blog, the idea been you get your blog out there to a wider audience and in return you will hopefully find some new reading! But hurry the sign up date is today (15th)! Or click HERE to take you direct to the sign up post.


Well I hope you are all having a good week, for some reason I keep thinking it is Wednesday (wishful thinking?) So far this week I have worked some more on Mini The Black, but I will save that for Friday before I start the IHSW.

Happy Stitching!

#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!
