A new month

OK so it is officially April and there is a new challenge up on the Sketchbook Challenge blog, I have yet to buy any christmas fabric to make my christmas ornaments, I have picked up UFOs and continued with them, finished another of my 15 crazy projects and almost finished 2 more. The month has gone by so fast and yet there are so many things to come in the new month.

This Sunday is Mother's Day, next weekend I will be in Andover visiting friends from A Crafty Natter, then we have 2 weeks off for Easter, The 16th I have my theory test which I'm starting to get nervous about, then we have Easter, Bank holiday Monday, 3 days at work, Royal Wedding friday, hopefully a quieter weekend and then Bank holiday Monday again. May will be here in no time at all as it will mostly be holiday time :).

Let's see what stitching and wonderful things I can make this month, as well as how much my going to the gym will help with my figure :), I also look forward to seeing some great work from all my fellow bloggers/stitchers out there!

Ornament a month #2

I finally finished the stitching for my 2nd ornament of the year as I had to order missing threads :( This is one of the Victorian designs from World Of Cross Stitching. Anyone know how to make up a round ornament??? I'm at a loss of how to get it looking neat.



Thanks for looking.

Saved!

This is from an old christmas card my grandmother sent Joey and I in 2009. Unfortunately it had chocolate milkshake spilt on it and I had to take it out of the card, however I have saved it by washing it and turning it into an ornament for my tree this year. I even added my grandmother's initials and the year, it came out a little smaller than i thought but it should look great on my tree with all my other handmade ornaments.



Thanks for looking.

Ornament a month

Stitchers over at 2011 Ornament-A-Month Challenge are doing exactly what it says, stitching an ornament a month, some people have even finished two already. As I have found my threads and charts that I had intended to stitch last year, I feel I have to join them as they did not get stitched lol.
