Slow Stitching...

Ten days since my last post, is that all? It feels much longer. 

I didn't get back to my purple quilting yet, it's still on the frame and I see it every day. I will get it done soon though I promise.

I have been doing some slow stitching. Still trying to catch up on my monthly Christmas ornament and my I stitch project. Having no lamp meant I fell behind. 

I have no new pictures of I stitch, but I promise I will show an update of that soon.

And as I'm sure you know well enough by now, the Christmas Ornaments are a secret as many of them will be gifted to readers of this blog! They are also the subject of a wee stitch along that Janice and I are doing. While I repeat pretty much the same project each month, she has been doing all sorts of Christmas items. Sometimes finishing UFOs that have been hidden away for years, and sometimes starting and finishing brand new projects. It has been fun seeing what she comes up with each month and I feel that we have been a very positive influence on each other. 

Thank you my friend.

So if I can't show off any sewing, what can I show off?

In my last post I showed some lovely yellow fabrics I had just purchased, they are to make a sunflower project. Well, a new project means a new box.

I fell in love with this bicycle as soon as I saw it.

All those yellow fabrics and their green and brown friends are settled snugly in there awaiting their turn. 

And while I was looking, I also spotted this beauty.

It had to come home with me too. Nothing has found a home in it yet, but I'm sure something will.

I am enjoying having my projects tucked away safely in pretty boxes.

Another thing to thank Janice for. LOL

And because at last I can.

Cuddles with a grand child.

Grandad Tony and I have had lots of lovely cuddles with baby Torstein.

He is a very cuddly little boy and loves nothing more than to snuggle up on a willing grandparent and have a snooze.

The weather is supposed to deteriorate back to winter today, with a whopper of a storm to hit parts of NZ over the next couple of days. So perfect weather for staying indoors snuggled in my favourite chair, with my needle in my hand and my super bright lamp to light my way as I stitch another catch up Christmas ornament. 

Sew that's what I'm going to do.
