October stitching report
Another month and lots of starts with a few finishes! Many thanks to everyone who's been leaving comments, especially to the new visitors. One of you asked about my progress bars. They were made by Mel. There'a link direct to the relevant post in the bottom of my sidebar now.
On to this month's report....
Finished:
TWRR round 7 (round 8 is delayed, so it might be a while before I finish the whole RR)
Needlework smalls exchange
The Counting House (LHN)
Started:
Napoleon Crossing the Saint-Bernard (Golden Kite) - a tiny bit done before I ran out of thread!
Pompeii Garden (Chatelaine)
Shakaasha (HAED)
Sampler Noel ornament (Fancy Work)
Baby blanket for my nephew
Progress made on:
Carriage House Samplings alphabet SAL
The Token (Long Dog Samplers)
There's a story behind why I'm now stitching on The Token. I started Napoleon but only had one length of 3052. So I thought I'd switch Napoleon and Fantastical Cats round in the rotation (both over one pieces you see). Well, after stitching and unpicking the same bit of cream FOUR times due to black cat hair getting in it, I put Fantastical Cats away in complete frustration and brought out some nice red over one to sooth the soul!!
So, here's The Token. For those new to my blog, it's in celebration of our 10th wedding anniversary, which was in May (it's a bit belated!).
