#64 Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow...

Yep, the snow is officially here! It started yesterday about six in the evening and has continued ever since! Thankfully it is very tiny flakes falling but over the course of the night it has still added up to a fair amount!

SNOW!!! :D

 I always use the top of the post box to see how deep the snow is - as you can see it is a fair coverage!

Rather appropriate then that today in my mail box was this design by Pickle Barrel Designs waiting for me - isn't it so sweet?! :D


Nancy at Pickle Barrel is ever so friendly and will always go out of her way if there is a design you would like to get it to you - she also holds some great giveaways - the last one everyone won a prize!

I really encourage you to visit her blog and take a look for yourself. They also have a website which can be found at http://www.picklebarreldesigns.com/

In other news, I am now at 100 followers! Yay! I will have a think about the giveaway and launch it soon - I don't want it to get lost in all this Grow Your Blog party madness so will hold off for a few days (that also gives me time to think what I am going to give!)

Have a great weekend everyone, I will be back tomorrow with my IHSW progress.

#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!
