All the snow has melted away...much easier for walking the dog !!!
I somehow have managed to get myself a nice COLD and CHEST INFECTION......
Great isn't it, I hate feeling poorly....Lets hope it disappears quickly !!!
Anyway, I'd like to show you my latest Work In Progress, this actually gives me a total of about five projects on the go at the moment..........
This is my ultimate, sumptuous, guilty extravagance.............................................
Oh well, you only live once.........might as well enjoy it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I also thought I might show you an 'Old Friend' from many years ago that I found in the loft...................................Called 'Butterfly Elegance ' in cross stitch .................
Have a great Sunday, and thank you for popping by...............................xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The Chelsea Pillow is a real jewel, especially with your neat stitching. Wasn't it nice to find that delicate butterfly in the loft on a cold winter's day?
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear you are feeling unwell. Keep warm, take care and get better soon.
All the best,
Queenie
The work with the butterfly and gorgeous border should be on show Chris not up in the loft......Your new kit looks absolutely gorgeous and I can imagine you have thoroughly enjoying stitching this....cant wait to see the finish result....Oh dear sorry you have a cold and chest infection not nice at all...keep warm and hope you start to feel better soon

Yes Chris, get that Butterfly on the wall rather than in the loft. Lovely stitching of your new project. Get better soon. XXX
ReplyDeleteGorgeous kit Chris. Look forward to seeing this more as you progress... I gather you are stitching to get better!!!!
ReplyDeleteBeen busy elsewhere but I do catch up, sorry that you posted 22 hours before I saw it. It is beautiful but oh dear with so many projects on the go at once you will not know what to do next. Really lovely and that poor butterfly in the loft, I wonder whether you knew it was there!
ReplyDeleteAre you still going to join all your lovely work from 2012 into one block, perhaps that is another project waiting to happen. Get well soon, hope your lovely creativity helps you feel better. xx
Hi Susie, have not decided what to do with my mandalas yet ? Wanted to auction them and give a donation to charity, but dont really know how to set that up....will have to do a bit of research !
DeleteThank you for taking the trouble to comment....you kind words mean a lot to me....keep warm xxxxxx
Dear Chris, everything you make is so beautiful!! I love, i LOVE your embroidery! :)
ReplyDeletewish you to be healthy soon!!!
hugs and love,

Hello Chris! I hope that your health is improving, I love the projects that you are doing, your new kit looks exciting. The cross stitch work that you found in the attic is gorgeous, it deserves to be put in a frame.

Just got over a bad cold myself, so I can sympathize. Your stitching is absolutely gorgeous! Nice to meet another Schnauzer mom!
ReplyDeleteonly 5? that's nothing! Love the crewel, it's beautiful! And so is your Butterfly cross stitch
ReplyDeleteLove your work Chris. The Butterfly is brilliant and I can't believe you had it in the loft and not out on show. The Chelsea pillow looks wonderful and I can imagine it will look beautiful when finished. I'm loving the crewel and wish I was brave enough to give it a go. I was a bit ham fisted when being taught Hardanger by Vicki from India Grace designs (who was very patient bless her) so can't imagine what I'd be like with crewel.
ReplyDeleteJust reading through your blog and realised you are Dave's mum (I'm Laura's mum - as in Matt and Laura), looks from the pictures on facebook like he is having a great time but I'm sure you have missed him.
