Update 26th April


I've been quite busy over the past few days and can't put this down at the moment and have managed about 1,800 stitches since I finished the first chart page. The detail is amazing and you can just see the Munchkin's hat appearing in front of the door.  Back to work tomorrow so stitching will have to wait for a few days :-(.

Update 20th April

Last week we had a total internet failure for 3 days so I had the perfect reason to get stitching and I finally managed to finish page 1 of my chart yesterday.   I was enjoying stitching so carried on with another page.  I think I'm starting to like this project again especially as there doesn't seem to be many confetti stitches on this page just lots of blocks of colour.

Update 27th February 2011

After looking at this for a couple of months, picking it up and putting it straight back down again I picked it up 5 days ago and haven't been able to leave it alone since. Hopefully it shouldn't take me too much longer to finish page 1 now, the thought of stitching a new page is encouraging me to carry on.

Wizard of Oz update 23rd November

Not much progress at all on this as I have been stitching a set of 6 Christmas Stockings and have 1½ stockings left to stitch. As soon as I've finished the stockings I will get on with this again as I am missing stitching it at the moment.

Charity Stitching

I have been charity stitching for a Christmas Auction for Cystic Fibrosis over the past week, not much to add to the auction but if they raise a little money it's worth it.

Poppies

There seems to be a craze at the school where I work for felt poppies (with 5 petals and a £5 price tag), last night I thought I'd try to crochet a poppy and found some free patterns on the internet but they didn't look quite right.  I took the plunge and attempted to make my own.  These are poppies 2 and 3 as poppy 1 was hi-jacked by my husband!  Two of my girls have asked for these so I need to make another 2 so we all have them.

Cats Alphabet 27/08

Finally after 4,099 days I have finshed the Cats Alphabet.  All it needs now is a good wash and framing.
