2O14 Mission

Well my mission as set by my wonderful boyfriend is to FINISH my HAED Coral Addiction...

I have 2 and a half full pages & 3 partial pages to go...attached is a picture of how she looks right now...think I've done a tad more of her tail in the top right hand corner but I'll get a new photo when there's significant progress...

I think it's a do-able goal as long as I get some stitchy hours in this weekend & maintain those hours each week/weekend...

There are too many things to do in the day & not enough hours right?!...

Let battle commence!!!...

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...

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)

Jade's Knitted Bag :0)

Here's what I have been busy doing I knitted a bag for my stitchy friend Jade!!! :0) I knitted the patchwork squares in all sorts of different textures...just used up all the little bits of wool we had left around my house :0)

I had great fun creating it and I think that Jade loves it...my knitting bug is well and truly here, all I want to do is knit and create things! 

I hope that you like it too...thanks for looking!

Knitted Frog Bag...

I knitted this bag for my good friend Cheryl who I thought needed cheering up...

It has a frog on the front ~ can you see it???

I then knitted the back and a thin(ish) band (& handle) to go right round the bag to give it a bit of strength! The whole bag is knitted in knit stitch and purl stitch only. I love how the combination of the two stitches can make so many textures!!! I do like knitting...

I hope that you like my newest knitted finish...I know that my good friend Cheryl did!!! That makes me happy...

I got the pattern from here:

http://frogiezplace.blogspot.co.uk/2007/11/tree-frog-pattern.html ~ if you wanted to try it out for yourself...it was easy and knitted up quickly!!!

Thanks for looking at my blog today!!! Enjoy your week if I don't post another blog post before the weekend...

Calories Don't Count At Christmas WIP Progress ~ 2nd January 2O13

No Kreinik delivery as yet but I'm hoping it comes in time for the weekend :0)

I hope that you like my progress this evening...as I am posting from my phone, if you are interested to see yesterday's progress to compare with today's then please look at the post below this one!!! :0)

I hope everybody has had a good day, I was back to work today for the first time this year!!! It went quicker than I thought it would...all I really wanted to do was get home & stitch though!!! The stitchy bug has well & truly bitten me (for the moment!!!)...

Thanks for reading my blog ~ keep on reading as I think I'm going to do a giveaway over the weekend ;0)

5X5 blanket all stitched up...

I've so far knitted enough squares to make a 5X5 blanket...and I've stitched it together...here it is:

I have made a slight change in my design - I am no longer making it 7X9 but instead 7X7 with a crocheted border...I do have a photo of almost all my knitted squares for my 7X7 blanket but as yet I have not stitched together the outer squares...(as you can probably tell)

I have (as you can see from the photo) another 6 squares to knit, then I can start stitching my outer layer of squares onto the 5X5 blanket...then I'll almost be done...only the crocheted border to do...I'm very excited!!!

Thanks for looking if you have done. I should be finished my blanket this week maybe? Then I can go back onto the HAED...
