I put my last stitch into “Cheryl” (which I have been stitching along with the other members of the SAL) on Sunday evening, but due to the rotten weather the light has not been any good to take photos, but today is sunny and bright so without further ado…here she is….
“A Bouquet for Cheryl” by Marc Davis, Needlemania
Stitched on 32c Murano in “Vanilla”
Threads – Polstitches Dragon Floss “Precious”
Started 6th January 2010
Completed 26th September 2010
Stitched in Memory of my friend Pip who lost her battle with ovarian cancer on Wednesday 19th August 2009
I was luck enough to trade with Sally this week for a Ewe Eye and Friends chart she had completed, it arrived in the post this morning and I think this will have to be a start I do soon…I love it!!
Not been up to much exciting recently, I have finally completed the curtains for Martha’s bedroom, I hand stitched the ribbon trim on them with invisible thread last night…what a job and a half that was…lol!! Just the bunting to start now, why do we think these are going to be good ideas…!
Talking of Martha…just a couple of piccies I took this morning…she decided she wanted to pose for these..
Well enough of my ramblings…I better go and do some ironing…boo…hiss!!
Hugs & Stitches
