Isn't it lovely!

This is one of the seasons cottages from Bothy Threads by Isobel, This is where she was up to by the time we left last Thursday, she was hoping to have page finished by the end of the bank holiday weekend, so hopefully there'll be another progress picture to show you all soon.

A little progress

 We were quite a quiet group this week, possibly because we were in the run up to the bank holiday, so I've only got a few pictures over the next couple of weeks. I'll start with the beginning of my twiddle muff because it doesn't really look like much at the moment, although I did go bling shopping yesterday, and it turns out that I have quite a childish sense of humour.

I always forget the name of this piece when I'm posting an update for Susie, I think it's called Rose Arbour, or something along those lines, and it's definitely from Mirabilia. You can definitely see the bodice coming together.

Early May Part 2

 I'm carrying on with my new project, which still looks like absolutely nothing, it turns out that I am the slowest stitcher that the world has ever seen.

You can see a little bit of pattern on the edge, this will be Cathy and Heathcliff when it's finished, although there has been some debate about hair colours, both are blonde, and we're all agreed that that's not right. Heathcliff should be darker, I'm less certain about Cathy, she's a red head in my head, but I've a sneaking suspicion that that's thanks to the Cliff Richard musical, but I might have a play with their hair colours.

Yet another nearly finished, Sam's getting so close to finished her lovely Snowman, there will definitely be a finish for Christmas, I should think before we even get into the summer.

Early May Part 1

Anne's project is looking beautiful, she's so close to the finish now. She was aiming for the end of April, so we're all pretending that it's still April. And it's looking great, hopefully I'll be able to post a finished picture of this soon.

This is Isobel's Mystery SAL this year... sadly I've completely forgotten who it's run by, but patterns are released throughout the year and you make two of three squares from each pattern then stitch them all together to make a very cute blanket.

I'm also loving Isobel's colour choices.

Check it out, four times in one month

Isobel is working on a lovely Bothy Threads project or seasonal cottages, they're so cute! 

And Sam's been working on these lovely little motifs. Aren't they cute? And they work so well with the varigated threads 

And here is Susie's crocheted Weeping Angel. She's so close. The pattern was adapted slightly to make it larger, one wing was easy and now she's trying to remember what she did for the second wing. But so close now!

I will remember to post more regularly

 As I was posting progress pictures of my Star Wars project, I thought I'd show off the finished piece! Cloudsfactory pattern, stitched of Sparklies fabric, what do you think?

As I finished that I thought I'd also show off what I started at this weeks gathering. Can you guess what it is yet? 

And here continues Anne's lovely progress on her Bell Pull, she's aiming for an end of April finish, what do you think, can she do it?

Twice in one month, who'd have believed it?

 Susie's working on Roses of Provence, and you can see the dress taking shape, looking lovely. It's a lovely design, worth hunting down if you haven't seen it, although I suspect that there'll be a bit less pink in Susie's version.

Talking of less pink by the way, if I can encourage anyone to donate to Susie's Harrogate Homeless project cause that would be fantastic.

You can find the link Here

She'll either be going bald or spending the entire day dressed entirely in pink (pretty much her greatest fear), so please think about a little donation and voting for pinkness :-)

Finally my own update, Star Wars from Cloudsfactory, another gift (that seems to be mostly what I stitch at the moment), I'm not sure if the Emperor is meant to be cute, but he kinda is.
