A finish

I did finish this at the weekend but have only just got round to showing it. 


It was a great little stitch but like all my stitching it took me a lot longer than I thought to stitch. I did hope to finish it over a weekend but it took me 2 weeks to finish. I am also not on target to complete my other WIPSby the end of May so I can start my summery kits. It hasn't helped that I've been doing extra hours at work which sounded like a good idea when I said I would do them but now I'm regretting it. I did not realise how much it would cut into my craft time.

Bank Holiday Weekend Stitching Challenge

Ok so it's another British Bank Holiday weekend here. I am hoping to get lots of stitching done especially as it's predicted to be a rainy one! I have set myself a challenge to get this piece finished 

It is an easy and enjoyable piece as it's mainly block colours but I do need good light to work on it as it's done on 28 count even weave and my eyes are not as good as they use to be. 

Here's an update on my owl 


I hope to have this finished through May and am hoping from June 1 I will be able to,start some new pieces, more 'summery' type ones I have in my 'to do' pile.
