#93 More Productive than I thought...and TUSAL!

I was pleasantly surprised this week when I looked at my stitching, I only had a hour or so to stitch this week so I guess I can't complain too much about the progress made :)

First up was the wedding sampler, here is the before shot...

Before

And here it is today at the end of the week;

12-05-13

As you can see the Groom now has his hand with a blob of champagne floating above and below his arm! The glasses will be added later with all the back stitch and of course the heart at the top of the piece has also been added along with some more of the date banner behind where the bride will be :) Not too bad!

Next up I made a teeny tiny start on an ornament...

...what you mean you can't tell what it is?! :D This is my first time stitching over two of 28ct fabric, but so far so good.

In other news I could no longer resist the temptation of the HAED sale, but I was very good and only bought one pattern.

This is High Tea by Gordon Fitchett, I really love this one, I'm thinking some subtle hand dyed fabric and it will love great on the wall in our dining room :) But it will be a long time before I even start this one.

Elsewhere the running and the weight is going well, I ran over 10k this week and managed to lose another 2lbs, making it 12lbs in total! Another push this week and fingers crossed I will get to that magic one stone mark!

Fundraising is going great too, we are now up to £350! A massive thank you also goes out to Mii Stitch for sponsoring me! Thank you dear!! x

If anyone else would like to sponsor me click here for details, you could win a £20 gift voucher as a thank you!

Lastly, it was TUSAL this week, a couple days late but better late than never right?

It seems Sheldon has taken quite a liking to my ORT jar and is now guarding it...from what I'm not sure, but if it makes him happy...

I hope everyone has a great week ahead and if you are somewhere in the world today which is celebrating, Happy Mothers Day!

#92 Short and Sweet

Well, as predicted no stitching got done this week. We spent some more time with my friend before she leaves tomorrow morning. She is so nervous and keeps getting herself all in a tizz wondering if she is doing the right thing, but she will do great, I just know it :)

Running is going well, the legs are aching but it is worth it, Team Panda have now raised a total of £285 already! Which is fantastic.


Weight loss is coming along nicely too, three weeks ago something just clicked when I stepped on the scales and I thought "that's it, no more messing lets get serious!" so far I have lost 10lbs and counting :)

There is no YOTA report this month as I have been bad bad bad and not touched my project. Oops! Perhaps I will have to put a bit extra time in to it this month to make it up to you, hehe.

As it is a bank holiday tomorrow here in England, perhaps I will get some stitching time in.

Fingers Crossed.

Until next time!
