Recharged!

Well, it has only taken me almost a week to get a recharged battery into the camera!  It has not been the most productive week in regards to stitching but I got a little bit done.  Why are there so many other things that interfere with stitching time?

I am still trying to catch up on Baroque and that is going to be my weekend aim (again).  I want to finish this little garden and the small part of Part 12 that I have not done.  I will then be half way finished!  Here's hoping for a mini happy dance at the end of the weekend.


I have been keeping up with my Tree of Stitches.  I love this design and it is fun to stitch with all the specialty stitches.  It is designed by Abi Gurden for the Stitch Specialists yahoo group.


Part 11 - Rhodes Stitch


Part 12 - Fancy Cross


Part 12 Close up

I have also started 5 Golden Rings (Nora Corbett 12 Days of Christmas series).  This start is for you Joyce as you asked so nicely when I would start this one after the 4th day was finished.  This one is nice and sparkly - these are nice designs to stitch when I don't feel like doing something large, and just want to sit on the sofa.


Here is to a good stitching weekend

Happy stitching

Your tree is looking good, it looks like a fun thing to do.
the other works are looking good to, i haven't seen the 5 golden rings, so i just have to wait and see how it's going to look.
Happy stitching,

Hugs Yvon.

I LOVE your tree. I've just commented on another version of this! It's so hard to decide what scheme to go for. I might just steal your's xxx

Thanks for the comments. Jo, I love what Charlie (Charb's) has started with her autumn tree. This is the nice thing about this SAL is that you can choose what floss to use and how you want your tree to look. I look forward to seeing yours and I am really enjoying stitching it, so I am sure you will as well

You have lots of progress. Grats! Everything looks great. I love the color you're using for the ToS (I know, I've said that before, but I really do) and the colors of FGR are beautiful too. Keep up the good work!!
