Joan Elliott's Summer Fairy ... Started :-) Plus last days for giveaway

Good Morning all!

I hope you all had a great weekend.  I had a quiet stitching weekend with no one asking for juice or more food or this that and the other BUT it is so strange without my little voices in the house!  They enjoy themselves and that's all that counts :-)

I started Cara's Summer Fairy and I must say she is going to be a pleasure to stitch.
I just could not put her down!!  I think Joan Elliott designs are going to be a new addiction for me lol!

Summer Fairy by Joan Elliott

Stitching as at the end of

10th February 2013


I think she is just gorgeous.  Loving the colours and the fabric.  I cant wait to see her come to life on the fabric!

I hope to get some more done on her this week but I fear it might not be too much as Cara came home last night from her fathers with a high temperature and sneezing which meant me and her had an awful nights sleep! This morning she is totally full of cold and all grumpy and I am starting to feel a little 'off' myself.  I think I am getting the germs the kiddies had for the last few weeks and now sharing Cara's cold!  This is the thanks I get for being 'Nurse Mummy' in our 'Living Room Hospital Ward' :-(  lol

I think I will find a little kit to stitch in between coughs and sneezes lol


The Book Club I am in have chosen its new book for this month and it is:-



Book Club Book for February


I have ordered the book and I am really looking forward to reading this.  It sounds really good!

Oh I know what I can stitch .... A Bookmark :-)  I have a lovely Winnie The Pooh bookmark kit!!

I did stitch myself a Pooh Bear Bookmark years go but James stole it and refuses to give it back lol!!

Dont forget my Giveaway ... Closing date tomorrow evening and I will do the draw on Wednesday Morning.

  9. Your Summer Fairy is coming along beautifully! I just love her on that fabric. I recently stitched her on beige linen, before I discovered the amzing world of hand dyed fabric!
