2 Posts in a Month!

I'm getting better ;0)

I have come to post up some photographs of my HAED Coral Addiction. I started her in March 2011 (gosh where do the years go!) and have not picked her up for some time...the last photo on my computer is labelled 19.09.12!!!

Here it is:

AND here is where I am at with my stitching as of YESTERDAY (16.07.15):

This is what she will look like when complete...(minus the background as I asked for that to be removed when I purchased the chart)

So a lot more tail to do and a bit of coral right at the bottom! My aim was to have her completed LAST year (did not go to plan) so I will try to have her completed THIS year instead...:0)

I hope that you have enjoyed seeing my progress and hope that you will continue to check in and watch my progress now I have picked this old project back up again...

Ellie Goulding at the O2..

On Sunday (the 9th of March) we went to see Ellie Goulding at the O2 and I thought I would share some photos of the event...we went into the Sky Bar backstage at the O2 before the show...I would recommend going in there if you are a Sky customer (it is very easy to get tickets to go in there here: https://rewards.sky.com/home/sky-at-the-o2/)...

We did lots of different things in the O2 before the show because we had time to fill so even if you arrive early there are the bars to go in (from 530pm) and other entertainment as well...my boyfriend Cookie went on a Nissan driving simulator which he said was awesome and in the Sky area you can read the news and also there is an Iron Man area there at the moment where they use an Xbox Kinect kind of software to make the Iron Man costume appear round you and you do certain activities as Iron Man :0)...I think that they change this area often depending what films are current...

Here are some photos of Ellie :0)...

~ the O2 was a bit full ;0)

~ The Stage set up was amazing...lots of monitors that cycled through live images that camera operators were filming as the show went on...

I hope that you like my pictures if you've had a look...:0) I will put up links to videos we did as well when they have uploaded to YouTube ;0)...

EDIT:

WIP Magical Nights Blackwork as of 23.05.13

Well here's where I was with this design as of the 17th of May 2013:

And here's where I am at a few days later:

I hope that you like my progress ~ this enforced rest malarkey is doing wonders for my stitchy bug but I do find myself getting tired earlier on in the evening. Right now it is 815pm and I have had to stop stitching as I am getting drowsy now...I'd hate to continue and make a mistake! Blackwork is not the easiest thing in the world to unpick (a bit like backstitch!)...

Thanks for looking at my blog & happy stitching!

Cruise Ship Dress...

I bought a lovely dress on the Cruise ship made by a gorgeous lady called Shuna...

http://www.byshuna.com/shuna-marrison-skirts/

Here is a picture of me on the cruise ship and also back home:

I think it is something a bit different and I love my dress/skirt :0)...I wanted it to be a bit versatile so being able to wear it with leggings and a long sleeved top is as important as wearing it in the summer with some pretty sandals...

I hope you like my dress/skirt and maybe check Shuna's website out, she is also on Facebook here: http://www.facebook.com/shuna.marrison.9?fref=ts...she is a wholesaler but I think she will make things if you email her I believe...:0)

Sparklies Fabrics...

I just got a couple of new fabrics through from Sparklies and they are beautiful...I had honestly forgotten that I ordered them so them arriving was a grand surprise...

Sparklies hand dye each of their fabrics so can take a little time to arrive but with me starting my new job recently and everything I had just forgotten about them...

Here's a picture of them:

Both gorgeous!!! Not sure yet what designs will go on them but always great to add to your stash pile ;0)...

Thanks for looking & enjoy your weekend...

WIP Coral Addiction Progress as of 19/09/12...

Progress up to 19th September ~ 6 pages done...I have 3 pages at the top and 3 pages at the bottom to do on this design. The bottom 3 pages are about 10 stitches high...page to the left at the top has about 50 stitches total on it and then the next two are almost full pages...

I'm putting this away now to work on Patchwork Santa ~ hoping to have Coral finished at some point in 2013. I am awaiting a new chart for Patchwork Santa to arrive as I have somehow lost mine somewhere in my house...knowing me I'll have put it somewhere "safe" and it'll turn up as soon as the new one does lol!!!...

Hope you like my progress... 

for looking...
