Here's this weeks update,

Last week....



and this week...




Didn't stitch at all yesterday and probably won't today either. My Dad was taken into hospital again late Wednesday night, another Angina attack.
Hopefully he will be home today, though he's annoyed not to be home already, he has a job he wanted to get finished today (he's a self employed tiler)

Going to try and get ironing done quickly this morning so I might get a few stitches done before visiting this afternoon

Hi Shelly
This is really lovely it is coming along nicely could I just ask what sort of frame do you use is it a rollong frame? I use hoops but want to try something lie you use but dont know what they are called
Thanks:o

well I would be happy to send it on once I am done, its been highlighted though but you can still see the symbols through it so its still usable

hehe I will start doing the same...I never thought about it before but have never reused charts. It is a very good idea though

I usually scan mine in, just because I used to use a pencil and I found with some of the winnie the pooh charts that the black lines would actually peel away, so I could at least refer to the scan. I didn't usually keep them though.

I've had a good day of stitching today, though I'm not confident that I will finish this one for the challenge, so it'll carry over to July.

Do you all do your backstitch at the end of a project or do you do it as you go? I wait until the end but am wondering if it may be easier to do it as I go...
