At long last ...


Hooray -at last I've finished my first start and here it is....




Well when I say finished still needs the year added to it and maybe initials, but I want to think about it a bit.

I had one of those truly me days - and used it to get this finished, was great to be quiet and stitch without needing to be anywhere else. 

We have had RAIN and RAIN and RAIN.
The garden desperately needs some sun before all my lovely new (and old) plants drown.  

Just a quick update today.

Shades of Blue

This is the first project I started and have really battled to get through it, not sure if it's due to the blues but I have been easily distracted - but I pledge not to start anything new until it's finished...(hard not to be tempted by the lovely charts waiting kitted for me)

I have used a variety of tones and hues of blue and hope they sit well together in the finished product, as  some are true blue and other more aqua, well will wait and see.

back to it...

Spring snow and summer stitching

I woke this morning to find that the weatherman was right - snow in spring. After a glorious week of sunshine and warmth that got me furiously working in the garden, this morning everything was white.

Although I like a bit of snow normally I have great concerns for my newly planted members of my garden - I hope they all survive the onslaught of the snow and wind.

On a sunnier theme I have done a bit of stitching and Summer Ete is complete...
 So I've tried to restrain myself starting anything new or buying any more charts (of which there is many that I love), I have two other WIP and will "definitely" not start another until at least one of them is complete.

Have started teaching myself to crochet, not doing too badly though I think I need to set aside a morning once the darlings are back at school.

Easter is just around the corner, I know chocolate frenzy comes to mind but I hope the message doesn't get lost along the way....

Happy Easter ...
