Emma in Stitching Shocker!

Yes, you read right this past weekend...I STITCHED! Woohoo! *Dances*

Even better than that I even had a finish! Ok, so it was a small finish, but a finish is a finish :)

This was a project I started waaaaay back in January, for the Crazy January Challenge, on the tenth day.

After that it was never touched again until Saturday night. I thought to myself "enough is enough lets do some stitching!". So while watching Pride and Prejudice (the BBC version) I stitched to my little hearts content.

Yesterday I finished up the back stitch and left it to soak. This was my first time using soluble canvas and I have to say I am quite impressed, and would certainly use it again.

So there you have it. My CJC14 challenge currently stands at 6/15...wonder if I can get the rest finished before the end of the year...?

Until next time!

A Stitching post...of sorts!

I hope you are all ok today and enjoying your weekend?

I named this a stitching post of sorts as I haven't actually done any stitching, but I did buy new stash! So I see that as a step in the right direction...haha!

I was rather sad to hear that Nene Thomas has decided to retire her work from the Cross Stitch community. Luckily over the years I had picked up a few I liked but there was still plenty more I could of had.

However, having recently quit my job money is tight so thanks to the sale on at the moment I settled on just one.

Corsair Daemira - Nene Thomas

This one has been on my wish list since I first discovered HAED, and has even been in my basket before checking out once or twice before. But I've always felt guilty about buying another when I already have so many in my stash.

But I knew I had to have this one before it goes away.

All of Nene's work will be retired on the 15th October, and the sale is going on until the 6th so it might be an idea for you to have a look this weekend and see if there is anythign you want too!

You can find it *Here*

Yes I am enabling here! Haha

Until next time!
