Just dropping in......

..... for a quick update. I have finished my Lizzie*Kate exchange and just need to "finish" it. I made a start on the HoE Summer House exchange but have hit a snag. I started stitching it on 40ct fabric in one thread and things weren't going to badly. However, I picked it up this afternoon and was having trouble seeing the holes, even with my glasses on. Out came the magnifier and I then discovered a mistake which meant pulling out quite a lot of stitches. Well the thread kept breaking and I was getting frustrated, so in the end I decided enough was enough and I ordered some 36ct from Sew and So. Hopefully that will be here tomorrow or Wednesday and I can start again. I'm signed up for round 3 of the Year Long Prairie Schooler exchange and should be getting my partners details soon.

As I don't have any current stitching that I can show you, I thought I'd post a photo of Just Nan's Wintry Mix that I stitched back in 2005. I have the companion piece, Jasmine Mix, in my stash and once I've stitched that I'll then get them both framed.





Hope you all have a great week.

That is a lovely Just Nan Nicola. Isn't it frustrating when you find a mistake and it is a real hassle to straighten it out.
