Gifted Gorgeousness February SAL

Hi Stunners

Thank you to Jo Perry and Faith for letting me know my comment email was bouncing back and doing all sorts of crazy things. I have (hopefully) fixed the problem. Thank you for all your amazing comments. I should be able to reply to you now!

I know, I know I'm really late for this one. I am currently on leave from work and just could not bring myself to sit in front of a computer. I'm good now though.

Okay just a quickie here is my small progress on Doggie Prayer.

Yep I suck.

Well at least she has 2 eyes now -ish.

For the next  GG SAL I will be working on my sisters gift, Rose Zircon. My sister came over the other day unexpectedly and we had an impromptu craft day with wine and cheese. Had such a great time and it made me realise how much I miss her. She lives almost 2 hours away so our visits are not as frequent as I would like them to be. So it was an incredibly nice surprise to see her. I will be working hard on her piece. This is where I left it:

Going for the page finish stunners!

That's it from me. A big apologies to you all as I haven't been keeping up with not just mine but all of your blogs as well. It was the computer thing. But I will be checking them out now. I can't wait to see what you  have all been up to.

Take care and stay beautiful

Gifted Gorgeousness SAL November

Hi stunners!!!

I'm really really really late with this one, sorry about that. I have a new start (what a surprise LOL) which is a gift for my girlfriend whose doggie April went blind literally overnight. She is a Silky Terrier and looks exactly like this chart ,as her mummy Janine always has a bow in her hair. I won't be stitching the prayer as she totally doesn't have a "firm" hand. This doggie was spoilt rotten even before she became blind.  But I'll make something up to put on it, that's a tad more relevant. 

I'm stitching it on 18ct Pink Swirl sparkly fabby from Sew it All Australia. You can just make out the eye. It's weird for me to stitch like this, without gridding and parking, just following the colours in an area, but I kinda like it too. 

And an update for SS Max Colours Butterfly Ball, which was a RAK chart from my dazzling friend Nina. I finished page 18, finally. Woo Hoo. Wickedly mad crazy confetti but I loved it.

And I joined a facebook Group called "The Ultimate Cross Stitch Group" as one of my friends told me that they had lots of challenges. And I stitch so much more when involved in challenges and events. It's the stitching athlete in me ha ha. So I managed a page finish and I am two thirds of the way through my new start which I will show you next post....but the best thing is I received 4 awards and a merit badge. So cool! If you guys are on fb, it's a great group and they are super duper nice there. 

That's all stunners. Hope you are all doing really well and that life is magical.

Take care.

P.S. Jo - Serendipitous Stitching if you read this post can you add the linky thingy. I can't get it to work. That is if the linky thingy hasn't closed. Sorry I'm so late. Thanks stunner!
