Hello Everyone

I have now complete my last Sandy Hook adult heart square - this is the red one.



I will take a photograph of the "rainbow" of hearts later - once I have washed and ironed them.

So here is my list - might have to amend it slightly as I have two birth samplers to do. But next I am going to do my wee teddy bear for Sandy Hook - think of just making it one colour - its a pattern I got ages ago - not too sure where from.

1. Calendars - at least 2 (one for me & one for my former MinL) - complete 12/01/2013
2. AOY charity squares - letter O x 2 - complete 27/01/2013
3. Sandy Hook adult quilt squares x 6 (purple, blue, green, yellow, orange & red) - complete 16/06/2013
4. Sandy Hook wee girl quilt square x 1
5. Sandy Hook quilt squares for school and hospital x 2
6. Snow drop memorial stitches for my mum and her sisters x 4 - complete 10/02/13
7. Purple Work part 2 - complete 31/3/13
8. Helen Phillips - Winter (from CSC)
9. Helen Phillips - Spring (from CSC)
10. Helen Phillips - Summer (from CSC)
11. Helen Phillips - Autumn (from CSC)
12. Blue Sampler (from Work) at least one part
13. Maybe even start but definitely not finish Blackwork of the British Isles (it is 1m x 1.5m).

Keep well everyone till next time.

Hi everyone sorry I havent been on in ages but I have been working away on cross stitch and other things. Hope everyone is keeping ok and I will get a chance to catch up on everyones work I have missed.

I have updated/changed my list a bit as some things I no longer want to do (2nd advent calendar for example as I bought a wooden advent house in the same). Also thanks to my friend buying me my first loom (I was saying how much I wanted to try it ) I am now addicted to loom knitting and have ordered a few different ones with my birthday money so I have added that into my list. I have also left a blank one as I am fed up of chopping and changing it. I have also found my Noah's Ark birth sampler I will be doing once the gruffalo is finished.

1) Baby afghan cross stitch - completed March
2) 2 x mothers day cards - completed March
3) 2 x baby birth samplers for friends - completed March
4) Christmas cards
5) UFO - Snow leopard cross stitch
6) UFO - 3rd childs scrapbook
7) 4th childs scrapbook
8) The Gruffalo - WIP
9) Keepsake quilt
10) Birth sampler Noahs Ark
11) Family and close friends bday cards - WIP
12) Loom knit various items
13)

oh that gruffalo one looks like it is going to be fantastic.

Well I've finished the fathers day cards so can tick that off my list if I can find my list again lol Not had time to work on anything else though, I really want to start my knitted cardi otherwise it'll never be ready by winter but I always lose track with my knitting so really need to concentrate on it.

Dakota, the gruffalo loking fab, i love your disney afghan and that tulip vase is amongst my stash waiting to be done. Youve reminded me that needs doing as well. such beautiful neat stitching well done you.

Aw thanks, I'm glad the photo link worked as I wasn't sure if it would. I haven't done the Gruffalo in about 3 weeks now so I am going to have to pick it up again. However, my dad was at a market and found a huge box of wool for cheap and dropped it at mines last night so I am having a dilemma - knitting or stitching? I am also running out of threads so I need to do a craft shop soon.

Mrs Moneypenny - I have many free kits stashed away over the years so I plan at some point to get them done, I have done 3 so far this year including the Tulips. I just get a bit side tracked

MERFE - well done on getting the fathers day cards done, the Buddha one was for my FIL and I did a poker card one for my stepdad but forgot to get a pic of it before I sent it. x
