    I'm ashamed to say my stitching has been badly neglected over the past year. :o I haven't posted here in ages, but for those who remember the Japanese Maiden, this is how she's looking these days! :)

    postingalwaysposting. It's coming along great. Looking forward to seeing it finished.


    Misty blue. She is so close to being finished! You mustn't neglect her anymore :D

    Having said that I must admit I haven't done any stitching myself since getting home on tuesday. Was only gone 6 days but think it was long enough to lose my stitching mojo :(
    Hubby wants to watch footy tomorrow night so plan to do some then.

    Morning all

    Well I did it, I did some stitching yesterday afternoon and last night and all thats left on the final house is backstitch! My dictionary of homes will then be complete!! Then to find a framers in or nr Swindon to get it nicely framed so it can live on the wall in the downstairs toilet. Something to read, but less germy than a magazine ;)

    I will post a pic later and possibly finished, its upstairs at the mo and hubby is still sleeping

    Can't wait to see the pictures of the wedding Bikerchick, Huge congratulations. So Glad you can spend the boring 4 hours at the hospital getting some important stitching done!
    Dd's is only going to be in plaster for 3 weeks (2 weeks to go!) as she is so young they said she should heal really quick, so that's a relief as we are going camping in Cornwall in 4 weeks. It's not stopping her though, she even managed to escape the tent when we went camping last weekend, undoing 2 zips and everything the little monkey. Thank you for the hugs, they were very welcome.
    I have managed to finish the teddy I was doing and start the matching rabbit, yay. I have also been making progress with my tiger and am hoping to post some piccies very soon.

    Loving everyone's stitching, and well done on the DOH, can't wait to see the finished product!
