• I updated my Wishlist. Now when you click on the tab up there that says Wishlist, it will take you to my personal save-up-list. Of course, every time I think I’m finished I think of five other thing to put on it, so right now there are only the absolute essentials.
• The pictures in the WiP section of the sidebar are now linked to their respective pages – so when you click e.g. on the Dragon pic, it will take you to the Dragon Luck WiP page.
• Trolly didn’t put the contents of his newest box on his blog. NOOOOOOOOOO! *giggle*
• I have coffee, and tonight there’ll be Robin Hood – Prince of Thieves on the tv. That’s doubtlessly a ploy along the lines of “Harrharr, we’ll just be showing crappy old movies so everyone will watch the hockey!” Not working, guys. Especially if you’re giving me Alan Rickman, who will be talking, which is better than coffee. And chocolate. And a lot of other things. A LOT. Rawr.
• I’m half done with the Quaker Sampler. It’s such fun to work with overdyed threads. Click the thumbnail to get to the WiP page with more pictures.

• I made a Finish a month or so ago that I forgot to announce. It’s an adorable PINN pattern. I just found a companion piece called Mermaid Heaven, and I think I will remake them both on Polstitches fabric. Click the pic to go to the page.

I ordered some patterns for my kitchen lately, after I decided to have a coffee-chocolate-theme. (What else! LOL) Then I saw that they had the Hinzeit Doctor-block for sale, and since I adore anything with charms and had been ogling it forever and ever, I ordered it too.

It arrived the other day and today I spent an embarrassingly long time matching fabric and flosses. I didn’t want to do it in the original colours because I find them kinda boring and much too un-purple.

I finally settled on a hand-dyed pink fabric from Polstitches. I will try to take a pic by daylight tomorrow, the colour is a good deal brighter than in this pic.

I will stitch it with Stef Francis Silk for the letters and outer border. It’s the first time I’m using silk and it is so wonderful to work with I never want to use anything else again.

The caducei are done in Carrie’s Creations Eggplant, and the inner border will be Carrie’s Creations Deep Purple.

You should see the charms, they’re so cute! I can’t wait to get this finished.

It’s a Quaker Sampler that was published in Gift of Stitching. It’s done on hand-dyed fabric from Polstitches, with Dragon Floss and Carrie’s Creations. 28c linen, one over one (yes, I think I’m officially insane.)

The exchange is spring themed, but if I can make it, I will do all four seasons.

 

 

I think I will start something bright and colourful, since Royalty and Super Secret Project are also only black and dark blue at the moment.

As always, click the thumbnail to see the bigger pic.

Because I’m stitching my first biscornu and thought, oh, this is quite small, surely it can’t take all that long.

I shall go to sleep now and sew it tomorrow. And spam you with pretty biscornu pics.

Also, I will have this blog beautified! I just ordered a new design from Elegant Webscapes. They have made one design for me before, which worked out great – I can’t wait for the new look!

Dragon Luck

Wow, lots of colour changes there on the right, where the head of the dragon will be. Still, I got a lot done.

 

 

Welcome

I only started this a few days ago, it’s great fun to work on it.

 

Christmas Tablecloth

This I’ve been doing for a while, but I keep getting sidetracked by the other projects. Still, some progress this week.
