Project Challenge Update

I totally forgot about this until I was going through some old posts lol! I'm doing well though. So far I've done:

Humphrey's Corner 'Lottie & Lulu Dolly'
SS gift
2 RAKS
Alex's bookmark
Jo Verso sampler
Flower Fairy

...only 3 left to go... I'm glad I signed up for this. I've not got anything huge finished but at least I am finishing things for once.

I'm a self confessed serial starter...

I started another project. Yes I know I should hang my head in shame. Well I did do a little bit on my teddy bear stocking but I got real bored with it and so decided to start a totally new project. In all fairness though I've stitched on it nearly every day since and I'm enjoying it so it's going well. It's a Somebunny To Love chart from a magazine. I'm doing it as a birth sampler for my new niece Eva Joan. It's so cute! I also got my Jo Verso and the Flower Fairy back from the framers so here's all my pics:

And yes, I know I have the hoop the wrong way...I remember ages ago one of the group saying they used their hoop this way so I thought I would give it a try. The idea is to keep the stitched area cleaner. It also makes the back more accessible. It's quite good actually - I think I'll use this method again.

Newly wed stitcher!

Well a LOT has happened since my last update. I've moved house, got married, been on honeymoon...not much stitching though LOL!

Well I made up 8 drawstring bags for the wedding and managed to stitch names on 6 of them. (We were still stitching the morning of the wedding, me and my mum that is, but run out of time to finish them!) Unfortunately I don't have any pics of them. :(

I've done some stitching on my Sunshine Line Baby Girl kit but it's now become a whenever I finish it pressie. I also finished a small UFO whilst on honeymoon. It's an old Flower Fairy cover kit that came with a free mount. Well it's been sent to framers this week so I'll get a pic when it's back. I'm giving it to my new next door neighbour who knows a little girl who loves fairies.

Well that's it nothing much exciting. Maybe I'll start getting more stitching done now all the wedding stuff is nearly over. Here's hoping....

Officially MRS BOTTOMLEY!!

Well we did it we're married! It was a great day and I hope everyone who came thought so too. Click on the link for our wedding photos.

Enjoy!

I'm still here!

I really am still here. I've moved house and am still trying to get everything straight. The wedding is a week on Saturday so I'm trying to finalise everything for that. Oh and I had a misunderstanding with my internet provider (their fault not mine) so my internet access has been non existent/patchy. Once I get a wireless modem and all my PC set up I'll hopefully be back to working order. Small matter of having the money to buy the modem at the moment. Anyway, I'm getting married in 10 days!! Can't wait! Will update more soon....
