Finally finished!

Hi All,
Before anyone gets to excited it was Santa that I finished.(When Faery Tales is finished there will be flashing lights in the title lol) This one seemed to take forever to get there.

All the Santa's came out of Stoney Creek magazine 2012 issues. If you are interested in them you will find them here .
This finally means I can make a new start which will be Keith's Christmas ornament.

Princess Izzy also got some work done.

Cheers,Sharine

A bit of everything

Hi All,

First for a bit of stitching. Princess Izzy. Really can't wait to start working on this a bit more then once a week.

And Santa should be done and dusted after next week.

For a bit of new stash this is what I got with my Christmas money
 Woodland Babies by Stoney Creek

And the first two parts of Santas village and the Season of Love ornament

As well I got some 25ct lugana and a whole 3 meters of 20 ct aida to start my new projects when Faery Tales is done.

And the winner of the giveaway is ... Linda. Congratulations!  If you could just email me( ksmcdougall@bigpond.com ) your address I will get them into the mail for you to add to your stash:)

Hope everyone's week goes well, Sharine

D'oh! x 2

Hi All,
Major head smacking going on here. I reached the top of the 'G' on Floral Beauty only to find my counting had been way of and I only just managed to squeeze it in. The only problem is it is way out of line with the other letters.

I really don't want to pull it all out but it does look a little strange. I know my mother-in-law won't care but I know I will. So I will finish it and keep stitching and see how I feel about it as I go on. 
Second D'oh moment occurred when I realized I have been stitching this on the wrong side of the afghan. This I can live with! After asking hubby for his advice(which should be my third mistake) his reply was not to worry as by the time I have finished it she will be a blind little old lady any way. The bump left on his head is coming down nicely;)

At least I finished the stitching on Santa which leaves me the backstitching to go.

 Cheers, Sharine

Princess Izzy & Santa

Hi All,
Things are starting to get back to normal around here. The Christmas tree came down much to the disappointment of the ladies and the cat who had taken to sleeping underneath it. We are still on school holidays here so we have had fun building tents in the lounge room, cooking an insane amount of cupcakes and biscuits and just generally doing whatever we feel like on the day.
Some stitching was still done after they went to bed(and lounge room restored to former glory) on Princess Izzy

And Helicopter Santa

Cheers,Sharine

 

Wipocalypse Finale!

Hi All,
Here they are from the start till the finish of the year and although I didn't get Faery Tales finished like I wanted I still got a fair bit of it done and will hopefully have it done early next year instead.
Faery Tales at the start.

And as of last night

Princess Izzy at the start

And now

Floral Beauty I was up to 'D'

I will leave it for this year up to 'G' and some pictures of it all together

And finally I finished 7 out of 8 Santa's Boy Toy oranments

The eighth one looks like this and will be my first finish for the new year

So that was my stitchy year. I will be back with my new goals for next year in my next post.
Cheers,Sharine

A finish!

Hi All,
I got my last finish in for the year. Snowmobile Santa on 14ct aida.

So I got to start on the last one which won't be finished in time for Christmas but never mind.
Helicopter Santa on 14ct aida.

Not to much got done on Princess Izzy this week but it all counts.

I was also lucky enough to win a chart on Facebook by sharing a Christmas memory which was of when  my sister and I were little girls. We got up on Christmas morning to open pressies(of course) and afterwards when we checked to see if Santa had eaten his cookies, the cookies were gone and in there place were a set of false teeth. We were both horrified that Santa would be without his teeth for the whole year. Of course we later found out it was our grandfather who had left them there. He had the best sense of humor:) The chart I chose was Merry Mindy by Hannah Lynn.

 Cheers, Sharine

Santa & Izzy

Hi All, Is everyone ready for the big day yet?  I'm definitely not lol. We are planning to go shopping on the Friday before Christmas (which is Bellas last day of school). The crowds should be lots of fun but the longer I don't have to hide toys for the better:)
On to some stitching. Princess Izzy had a purple flower added to her hair.

And after adding some words Snowmobile Santa will be finished for next week.

Have a great week,Sharine
