…not me…just the weather, where is the heat wave they promised us, it’s like winter with the gales and rain!
I had a childfree weekend so I managed to finish a few little projects..I can show 2 but one is a secret stitch so can reveal that once it has been received.
Lizzie*Kate “Friendship Grows” freebie
32c Murano Ivory - DMC threads of my choice
Finished as a Brodiere Anglais lace trimmed pillow
Teachers gift
BBD “Summer Stars” Pin Pillow
32c Belfast Linen “Raw Flax” – GAST threads as charted
Finished as a tasselled pillow
I have decided to mount my “Prairie House” finish on a wooden box, I have just placed an order for 2 lacquered cigar style boxes, so fingers crossed they won’t take too long to arrive. It will be my first box finish so I am hoping I don’t mess it up!!
I finished knitting Christmas Scarf #3, just the tassels to make and attach, then I will take pictures of them all for you to see.
I need to take a trip to town to Boyes for some more wool…may wait til next week as it’s the half-term school holidays..
A lasagne is in the oven for dinner…the kids and my favourite…and a homemade chocolate cake for pudding…yummy!
Hope to do some stitching on my CHS Gingham Dog & Calico Cat this evening…it’s fallen a bit by the wayside, have some catching up on it to do!
Have a good evening all
Hugs & Stitches

There is nothing better than a child free weekend. Looks like you put the time to great use. I do love your finishes.
Super finishes, i have stitched Friendship Grows so many times over the years, i love your version of it and am sure the teacher will too
Two gorgeous finishes. I love the Friendship Grows finish the Brodiere Anglais lace sets it off a treat. Hope you box finish turns out okay.
oo lovely finishes :) and I love the bbd one :) nice to have a child free weekend and wasn't it a pity about the rain, winds etc love mouse xxxx
Great finishes Elisa!
I'm just hoping that a cold wet May means we'll get a nice June/July/August
Lovely finishes Elisa - I have my eye on the Summer Stars to be a new start for me soon. Love the broderie anglaise trim.
Wind & rain horrific here too - has calmed a little today but still wild!
Your finishes are so pretty!
