Stitching Update - Turtle Trot and 2nd Finish YAYYYYY

Hi everyone,

I've been wee busy at work this past two weeks so my stitching time got reduced to 1/4 of  the time I usually have. So I've been away from reading blogs and posting as I was focusing all my free time to actually do some stitching.

Yesterday was the 2nd Turtle Trot of the year - I haven't stitched on any of the projects I have listed for it so there's no progress to show :(.... but the good news is that tonight I'll actually be stitching on one of the projects as I'm now going to focus on QS Believe until it's finished....

.... and the reason why I can finally stitch on QS Believe is ....

Lickle Teddy - Birth Sampler - Finished 11/02/2014

Yesssss..... That's right the Birth Sampler is finally finished, it's now drying and tomorrow I'll frame it, after I got over all the white it stitched really fast and because I stitched it over 2 I didn't hate the 1/2 stitches nor the backstitch, I actually enjoyed doing the backstitching and seeing it getting shape.

I'm really proud of it I designed the letters with the help of PCStitch and added them to the original chart of DMC - Lickle Teddy - A bit Sleeping to make it into the birth sampler.

And now some more piccies of some close-ups I took :)

Thanks for stopping by

First Finish of 2014

Hi everyone,

Yes it's true I've finished on project :) Which makes 2014 a year with more finishes than 2013 (that says enough about last year doesn't it?)
So anyway I've finished the bear bars as planned and the good bit is I don't have to finish-finish them, as they will be posted to my mum so that she can finish them into a bed linen for my niece/ her granddaughter.

This is what they looked liked on the 1st of January:

And this is how they look like now:
(I'll be asking my mum to take a picture of it when it's totally finished and I'll share it with you)

Now next project is the Lickle Teddy Bit Sleepy that I adjusted to be a birth sampler for my niece.
This is how it's going to look like (more or less):

And this is how it at the moment you can barely see any stitching on the piccie... but it already has 1527 stitches... all in DMC B5200 :)

Thanks for stopping by :)

Happy Stitches
