Bears

More framing going on . I finally got around to framing my calendar bears .

finally

I finally remembered to blog some finished cross stitch pics. The sampler for the outlaws all framed . It has now been delivered and now has pride of place on the lounge wall . They were thrilled with it and they had no idea i was stitching it.

anniversary sampler

well still no cards but i have been busy. I'm in the process of packing up everything from the craft room ready for a refurb and a really good clearout. I have been stitching this for the outlaws and sods law i ran out of thread with 2 letters to go. None available locally and when i ordered it online i had an email saying out of stock till monday oh well you can see it as is. just needs the 2 letters and washing and framing.

finally finished

Well i started this months ago and have gone back to it on and off and now it's finally finished it just needs washing , pressing and framing. No cards i'm afraid . I seem to have lost my mojo completely. Maybe a deep clean of the craft room and finding things i forgot i had will bring it back.

That time of the week again here's where it was at last week and the other pic is this week. Not too much more to do now . Just the decoration around the middle and the backstitch and a couple of the border flowers .

horrid purple ufo

Well here is an update on the purple ufo.This is where i was up to on monday . It's getting there but i can't wait to finish it i hate it. My hubby said if you stitch for pleasure why stitch something you hate . Couldn't answer that one. It was a gift from my mother a few years ago and i was quite shocked to actually recieve anything so thought i'd stitch it.

Done a bit more on the horrid ufo .

Well i gave in and started doing it again last monday here's where i had done up to late last night.

cross stitch ufo

Just for gail here is my cross stitch ufo. My mum bought it for me several years ago and i stitched the front for the notebook and the centre panel on the picture but all that purple sent me loopy ok loopier so i haven't touched it since.
Now do i finish it or do i not. since i came across it again i feel guilty for abandoning it .
