i've just realised how long it's been since i last posted here.  it's been hectic for the past few months, i have got very little stitching done, i have been saying i'm going to get back to stitching but haven't done any in about 3 weeks.... i know i need a good kick......
Cant believe Christmas is almost here, i have my decorations up and love them, hope Santa comes to ye all with loads of stitching stuff ...lol  

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY

I'm back......

Just realised how long it's been since I last posted. I've been away for 12 days and i really enjoyed it. This is how my little sunshine looked before I went away unfortunately I didn't get to stitch since I got back

Well.....

On the way to seeing the end of the stitching when it's done I have to backstitch it. I'm hoping to have it finished by the end of the month. Then I can get my hands on my other dimensions cross stitch. I can't wait. I'm a big dimensions fan :))

i've .....

redone the ATC for the exchange, i wasn't happy with the other one i did...

Friday night, this is how my project looked

Cant believe...

there is another week of stitching done, i'm half way through page 2

Really...

Happy with my progress this week, one page almost done,

Just....

found a new website, it's brilliant, you join and get gold coins for certain activities, you buy charts with the coins, well worth a look some really fabulous charts by alot of good designers, http://www.chcross.com/

had a good

week stitching, got a good bit done, here's how it's looking now, really loving stitching this

Picture

is really starting to look like something, about 8 hours stitching this week

my latest

update, didn't get much time at stitching over the week, but here's how my little sunshine is looking

a further update

.... 1 week on from the last pic,

my little sunshine

...after about 5 hours work

a better look

at how passion flower angel looked after it was back stitched, and french knots were added

Made a

start on my new project, after about 5 hours it still looks like nothing, hope to get a pic up tomorrow

cant wait....

to make a start on my project, got the last of my threads this morning, so i know what i'm gonna spend the evening at, cross stitch here i come!!!!

Waiting.......

on the last of my threads to come so i can get started on my little sunshine, really looking forward to getting started, will update ye shortly

finally finished

this is the finished product, got it finished just in time, the backstitching is really subtle but brings out the detail fantastically

new project

just found my next project, and i'm really excited.... even though the evenings are getting longer i probably wont be stitching as much but this is a must have.  it's my little sunshine by dimensions hope ye like.

progress

sorry i haven't been able to upload a picture of my progress in the past while, but hopefully by the end of this week, i have the stitching finished and am now back stitching, it's starting to look good....

a quick

update to let ye know, i started back stitching last night and i feel really positive i'm gonna get the project done by end of march, (fingers crossed) it's my sisters pressie for her birthday :) will upload a pic soon

sorry

i know it's been a while since i updated my blog, but i've not had much of a chance to stitch this past month, it's been sitting in the corner begging me to pick it up, but hopefully everything will be back to normal next week and i'll be back stitching, will update ye as soon as possible.
Happy Stitching everyone!!
