Never thought stitching would make me feel like
Speedy Gonzales...
But when I look at the progress I made in just 1 day...



Oh boy, am I fast when it comes to stitching! Don't you agree?


That's all for now folks. Talk to you later and enjoy your sunday!

WIP - Hawker Hurricane



Just a short message today to show you how much I've managed to stitch on the plane I'm making for my nephew. I started stitching it on february 14th.
I've only been able to stitch 10 days in all as I've had loads of other stuff to do too.
My boyfriend has moved last weekend to a new house and I've helped him out. He's still rearranging his stuff at the moment and is coming over tonight to my place to stay for the rest of the weekend.
I went over to his new place on thursday and only came back yesterday evening.
At the moment I don't take any stitching stuff along when I go to his place, as there's still loads of other stuff that needs to be done first.

Yesterday we went to a furniture centre and we bought a nice brandnew bedroom!!!
This is a picture of it (we only bought the bed, the wardrobe and both the bedside tables.



Delivery will be only in 2 months time though.



Going to try and stitch a bit at the moment!
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a nice and sunny weekend!

What I have been doing the last couple of days.... well, I thought I'd show you in a short slide show:



I picked up this WIP and have been stitching on it since the 28th of January. I'm halfway through but I don't know when it will be finished. I will have to put it aside soon as I ordered the materials I need for another project I want to make for my nephew, the Hawker Hurricane airplane.
I will keep you posted on this WIP and the airplane one too. And I will put up some more freebies too as we go along.

I've got to quit for now. I've got some housework chores to attend to (laundry... YUK!!!) and I feel like a little bit of stitching later on.
Have a nice day all!

WIP
Want to know the reason why I haven't posted much here lately? Take a look at the pictures below. Yes, that's right I'm stitching like mad when I have the time. I found this freebie for a half dollhouse alphabet and I really liked it so much I wanted to stitch it right away.
You can find this freebie here

As it's a rather large project, I've been busy measuring up the fabric and dividing it in pieces so I can stitch the 26 letters more easily.
I'm using 14 count vintage blue aïda and DMC thread number 931.

March 11th. 2010

I've finished 6 letters so far and have much more to do so I'll be busy for quite some time.
I'll put up more pictures of this WIP and at the moment I won't put up new freebies as I really want to finish this project first.
I do like to design small charts but I do like to stitch too so I hope you'll understand I can't do both at the same time.


March 11th. 2010 - letter D


March 13th. 2010 - letter E


March 22nd. 2010 - letters F and G


March 25th. 2010 - letters A and B

I hope you enjoy watching this project evolve just like I like to watch it grow.

STITCH TILL YOU ITCH!!!


PS: It's my birthday today!!!

It's November 11th today. Remembrance day of the Great War of 1914-1918.


Tomorrow my boyfriend and I are going to Ieper. We visited last year when it was 90 years ago and there were lots of people there from all over the world. Everything was so impressive that we decided to go back this year. But only for 2 days and not on the 11th as we just don't like crowds.
I'll write more about Ieper when we are back.

In the meantime I want to publish a picture of the Japanese girl I'm stitching at the moment.
