Cross stitch update...


This one is nearly finished, but I've had to stop as I am out of white (easily obtainable) and the green colour for the border (which I need to order online). I also don't seem to have any of the colour for the roof of the Beach House.  But I'll put an order in with my supplier and get ahold of those threads soon, so I can finish it off. Maybe even in time for it to still be summery out - summer usually hangs on here until late September, so I'm in good shape...




This one, obviously, has lots more stitching to it - in fact, the green grass extends another few inches to the left, but I've had to stop stitching it, because again, I've run out of green - there's a lot of green there; I used up a whole order of the colour (which is called, brilliantly, Scuppernong). But there's plenty to work on which isn't grass, so it's not really a problem...  I'll probably take this one and another when I go away next week to a friend's - perhaps another of the little sheep virtues. Or maybe I'll just take a couple of those. We'll see!

Cross Stitch Update


A busy week, so not as much time to stitch as some weeks. But it's coming along, albeit slowly. I probably should do some more on the other two I have on the go as well... All in due course!

Cross Stitch Update


I know, I know - I missed the usual Wednesday update, but that's because I was busy showing the results of the Cotton Robin, and I wanted to keep them all together. So you get a Saturday update instead (well, except I haven't yet stitched on it today, so it doesn't include Saturday stitching. For what that's worth.)  Definitely some progress, though!

Cross Stitch Update


Yes, a third piece!  There's nothing wrong with having several things on the go at once, right? It wasn't even that I was bored with the others, but I've been wanting to start this seashore piece, so what the heck, I did.


I also, however, worked a little on this one (mainly the umbrella)


and this (started some watermelon bits on the left side, finished the grass on the right.  More next week, perhaps on all three (or perhaps not!)
