Last weeks progress

Rosie and I went over to stay with my parents last week as it was half term which meant that I got to have some quality time with Above the Clouds while Rosie played with her Nana and Grandpa. I didn't quite manage to achieve a full blown case of 'Stitch Ass' (tm Siobhan) but as you can see from my progress I gave it a good shot.

The weekend was much busier as we were back home, so progress on Forget Me Not

And 4 Wishes was a bit slower.

Here's an update on where I got to with my wips last week. First up is Teresa Wentzlers Above the Clouds. I managed to get reasonable amount of stitching time in on this and I've made good progress:

The weekend was very busy however so I didn't get much time on either Drawn Threads Forget Me Not.

Or Just Nan's 4 Wishes.

And now for something completely different...

Thank you all for the congratulations on my last post.

I decided that I needed a complete change after finishing Maria so I pulled Above the Clouds by Teresa Wentlzer out of my stash, here it is after a couple of days work.

Here is last weeks progress on The Drawn Threads Forget Me Not

And Just Nan's 4 Wishes

Woot!

Sorry to have been absent from here for the last week but I decided to sit down and stitch rather than spending a lot of time online. This is the result!

Maria Spence 1815 - The Essamplaire (copyright 2006)
stitched using the Linen and AVAS silk from the kit.

Started in December 2006 at the Ackworth Seminar and finished yesterday. The sharp eyed among you will notice that I've altered some of the personalisations to my own.

The reason that putting my feet up and stitching when I get the opportunity is so appealing at the moment is that I am now 17 weeks pregnant. I had a scan last week and Alien 2 is developing just as it should. The challenging bit is keeping up with an energetic toddler! The net result is that I am not spending nearly as much time online and I'm way behind in my blog reading so I hope you'll all understand that it also means that I'm not commenting as much as I would like.

I'll leave you with a picture of Rosie showing another reason why I don't get on the computer as much. I'm now having to hot desk at my own laptop!
