A sort of new start

Hi All,

I started H for Hyacinth this week which is sort of a new start on an ongoing project.

And I got a most of the black finished on this page of Faery Tales.Still looking wonky as always lol.

Also finished these, what I thought were pant and jumper sets for my girls only to have them correct me by saying that what I had made are pajamas .

I get most of my patterns off here all for free. The only thing I find is if I knit with there recommended  needle size the girls have trouble getting the clothes on and off so usually I go up a couple of needle sizes( I think they recommend 2mm and I knit with 3.25mm) and add a button on the back so they open instead of seeming them straight up.

And after having a poke around Etsy I also brought two patterns of Vintage Knitnak I got the Robin Hood and Little Bo Peep outfits.

Hope everyone has a great weekend, Sharine

TUSAL, Santa & Izzy

Hi All,

And welcome to my new followers. Here is hoping I can keep you all interested lol.

This is what my jar TUSAL jar is looking like. Slowly filling up:)

For my weekend this is what I stitched on.
Up On The Rooftop Ornament is growing slowly and I think I am being converted to 25ct one over one stitching.

 And Izzy

And I couldn't resist this one from Heaven And Earth Designs.

Two page finishes!

Hi All,

Two pages to go and Faery Tales will be done!

Thanks to my camera is looks wonky as but in real life measures up right. I'm thinking 6 more weeks and it will be all over(and I can make some new starts).

For my other page finish, thanks to my lovely hubby taking the kids out for a hour I finished the backstitching on 'G'

Which also means the top row is finished(excuse the messy background:)

On to H for Hyacinth I think.

Cheers,Sharine

Santa & Izzy

Hi All,

I just got home from kinder duty with Charlotte and wow. I take my hat of to all teachers but most of all kinder teachers today. 25 4 year olds for six hours. The stuff you can learn from a little one is amazing lol.
Here is my effort on Izzy this week

The blue and purple background make for a nice break from the green.
And Santa is looking something like this

Still can't see any detail coming through yet but I'm sure there will be soon.

And if anyone received a strange email of me last week I'm sorry. I asked my DH to send of the kinder financial report to the kinder committee and instead it went to everyone on my contact list.

Hope everyone has a great week, Sharine

Faery Tales & A Giveaway

Hi All,

Here it is after the girls attempts to derail my stitching time this week. I have guessed that I will be finished some time at the end of April/start of May. Maybe earlier if I can somehow convince the girls that they don't need me to cook and my DH that I don't need to clean lol.

I also managed to finish these two Barbie dresses this week for a friends daughter.

Those wonderful people over at HEAD have had a coupe of sales over the last week and these got added to my one day pile.
QS Blissful Halloween - Hannah Lynn
