Wipocalypse May check in

Hi Friends,

Wipocalypse time again (hosted by Measi) where we work on those pesky wips living down the side of the sofa! And yes, late again for the link up! Only 5 days this time!

For this month's Wipocalypse I worked on all my wips including my quilt would you believe! These are pics of the ones that were the original wips from the start of the year.

Smalls SAL May check in

Hi everyone,

Bank holiday weekend, half term and time for the Smalls SAL hosted by Heather - the aim - a small finish of our choice each month Here are my finishes for May...

Bee Keeper by The Drawn Thread. I loved stitching this one and I'm planning one for each season and several of them for my Christmas tree.

Theme-Tas-Stitch May Link Up

Hello lovely stitching friends

It's been one of those weeks! DD has had a viral infection so had 4 days off school and spent almost a whole week crashed on the sofa watching endless Cbeebies. Shes's nearly back to her normal self. So throw in working (very slowly) from home and masses to do for college, it's been exhausting.

So on to Theme-Tas-Stitch. This month's theme was:

Gifted Gorgeousness May

Wow, how is it time for GG already?  I hope you've all had a good stitchy weekend. gifted gorgeousness is hosted by Jo of serendipitous stitching where we show what we've stitched that has been gifted to us or will be a gift.

So I've a few bits to show...

Just Nan Spring frills humbug. A gift from Carolyn. 

Wipocalypse April

Wipocalypse time too (hosted by Measi)and another week late link up! Birthdays, college work (essay on employment rights anyone!) and illness all contributing factors along with the desire just to stitch!

I did loads on Blackwork birdsong which I know is a very new wip. I just need to stitch the metallics and beads that I'm substituting for the french knots.

Progress too on Anchor sampler - I got the right border completed. I had from the green horizontal border down to do.

12 days of Christmas - a start on day 10.

a bit more on the Celtic bird

my new work in progress is my stitching bullet journal!! I'm totally loving creating the pages and have monthly stitching plans, wish lists, inventories and lots more.

Just a really short post. I'm taking part in MAYnia on facebook so I'm working on all my wips and 8 new starts too. SO much fun!

Have a great weekend

Smalls SAL - April edition.

Hi everyone,

Smalls Sal time again, hosted by Heather at Stitching Lotus. 

We've had a crazy busy week as both Smalls had their birthdays last weekend. DS turned 12 and we celebrated with Go-Karting and Pizza. DS turned 7 and had a Jewellery making party with 6 of her friends. They also had party games too.
We had a great weekend, but very tiring to say the least!

So back to the Smalls SAL. It's a lovely easy going sal where we can pick our own smalls and show a finish on the last Friday of the month. 

I set myself a challenge of 10 finishes in April and I'm pleased to say I hit my target. They were all smalls so here goes for a mammoth post! 

The first four months for my calendar stitched in various variegated threads by Anchor and DMC. By Palko-lap 

Hello spring by Lizzie Kate

Spring keeper by The Drawn Thread

Cactus embroidery

Seahorse by Mouseloft

Little alphabet sampler

Gilmore Girls by Wee Littlle Stitches

That was quite some stitching considering I got most of Blackwork Birdsong finished too. I was really lucky to have a few days over Easter when I could just stitch. 

I'm joining in with Maynia over on Facebook in May, stitching on at least 17 projects including 5 new starts! Lets hope I get a small finish for next month! 

Have a great weekend!
