#63 And So The Hermit Begins...

Ahhh...I wish I could have every Friday off work, two days at the weekend just isn't enough - especially when it is IHSW :D

This week I have worked on Mini The Black and my YOTA project, but for now I can only show Mini The Black.

Before
I managed to get another 800 or so stitches in meaning I have now finished the first two columns of the first page wahoo! The next two columns are yet again more 310 so I am not sure if I am going to keep stitching away at that or instead move horizontally along the page and get to the bottom corner where there is a few more colours added to the mix...watch this space...

Today I think I will work on the HAED SAL first and see how that goes, for the rest of the weekend it will be Mini The Black or Mystic Garden, whichever takes my fancy :)

Some more snow fell over night but nothing too major. It is due to start again at 3 this afternoon and carry on right through the weekend.

Here is a view of the back garden so far...


Have a great IHSW everyone and if you are here thanks to the Grow Your Blog event then welcome and I hope you enjoy my blog :)

Happy Stitchy Weekend Everyone!

p.s. If you have time I think you should take a look at The Cross Stitching Librarian she works on some lovely projects (many of which are on my to do list!) and I feel rather lonely over there as her one and only follower!

#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!
