Time to make progress

Hello All

The other evening I spent hours sorting and putting away my threads that I had out loose.  Terrible trying to find a thread and it not in my boxes so I printed off a 'DMC Shoppers checklist' of all the threads and marked off what I had and what was missing.  I have all the DMC range which I have collected over the years so when I want a thread I know it should be ... somewhere!!!

Here is the link in case anyone wants a list too!!  DMC Shoppers Checklist

Yesterday evening I had a sort out of on going projects and came across one I had totally forgotten about!!  I really need to make a full and detailed list of all projects I have started.

Whilst having a rummage through my stuff I came across this one

Stitchy Sampler from a
Cross Stiching magazine

My son Ryan challenged me to stitch this a while ago.  he gave me a weekend to do it but unfortunately something else came up so I never got chance or time to sit and stitch it. So I think I will stitch as much as I can until this weekend.

The children are away this weekend so I hope to have received my threads for Air Goddess by then and I will spend the whole weekend stitching my big heart out!!

I hope my thread order comes because it has the stuff I need for the Winter Exchange over on the Stitched With Love Exchanges blog  Cutting it fine if my parcel does not arrive on time for me to sort out what I am making and sending to my partner.

Well I had better make a move and get on with some Stitching.

Have a great day all

Love me

Finished and New Threads

Well, here is Gingerbread Village.  'He' is wonderful!

Lucie won our challenge by 20 minutes :-)  It was a very close finish and lots of fun!  Lucie your prize will be in the post on Monday! 

I have a few of the LHN ornines stitched at the moment so I must figure out how to finish them off so I will have a wonderful looking Christmas tree this year ... providing the children leave the tree alone! 

I got lots more Crescent threads this morning plus weeks dye works and Sampler Threads and a Dinky Dye thread.  There will be no stopping me now as I have all the threads needed for many of the charts I have bought!  BUT before I start another LHN or CCN I must get the Country Horses finished for my 3 year old Katie.  So this is my challenge for myself this weekend then I can start something new for me!

Gingerbread Village LHN Ornie challenge with Lucie

This was my progress after 1 nights stitching ... roll on tonight when we can do more!

Ruth's Alphabet challenge on OM

Ruth posted a challenge on on our crafting forum ... stitch something beginning with the letter 'A'

So I stitched an Apple.  I decided to stitch on one massive piece of fabric as Ruth intends to do A-Z and this way I will end up with a lovely alphabet sampler for my younger children.  Will take a while to complete but it will be well worth it!
