Butterfly Pattern

The butterfly pattern in my last post can be found here

I'm Back!

I know I haven't been around for a long time. I completely lost any urge to stitch and got into a couple of computer games which used up all my spare time. However, over the last few week I've started stitching again - hurray!

So what progress do I have to show you? Well I got started again by stitiching this butterfly for cancer research. I thought it would be something fairly simple, just one colour thread and would give me a finish quickly to encourage me to get going on my other things. So here is the butterfly.

Since then I have got going again and put some time into Celtic Summer. She now looks like this.

I'm spending this week stitching on Enchanted Flute so I'll have something to show on that shortly.

Take care everyone and thanks for your visit.

Tatty Ted Finish

Well here he is. The Tatty Ted height chart is finished. Well the stitching anyway, I've still got to finish finish him. This is Gemma holding it up for all to see.



And here are a couple of closer shots so that you can see them properly.

I need to get some backing fabric to finish it off and to add the baby's name and date of birth when we know it. (It's due 1st January)

So for now, it's back to Enchanted Flute - at least until I've finished page 3!

This Week's Progress

This past week has been spent on Enchanted Flute again. I've got about half way through page three of the chart and the butterfly is begining to show.

So, it's gone away now for another week and Tatty Ted has come back out. I know they are all I seem to show at the moment, but then they are all I stitch on! I can't put Enchanted Flute down, and Tatty Ted has a deadline so I'm forced to make room for him. However, hubby is away one night this week so I might just get the advent stuff back out, although there is no chance of that being done for this christmas now - after all I'm still only on number 3!

Happy stitching to all, may the frog stay away, and thank you for visiting.

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear......

I've spent the last week working on Tatty Teddy - and I now have two teddy bears (well almost - the second one still needs to be backstitched). I just need to add the third teddy and a few stars - oh yes and the balloon strings and then we are there.

They are going away now for a week while I go back to Enchanted Flute - I really want to see that butterfly appear. I'll do weekly rotation between the Teddies and Enchanted Flute until the Teddies are finished, then I'll bring Celtic Summer and Poppies back into the rotation.

Have a happy stitchy week everybody.

More Enchanted Flute

This week's stitching has been dedicated to Enchanted Flute and there is good progress to show on it. I'm still waiting for the butterfly to make an appearance but I'm sure it will before this page is finished. The stitching is now the full width of page three so I guess I've got about ¼ of the page done (allowing for all the confetti stitches).

I'm still really enjoying this but it is going to go away now this week and I will spend the week on Tatty Teddy. Then it really depends on how he is progressing as to whether I go back to this or continue with him - or maybe I should spend some time with my Celtic Lady or even visit my Poppy Fields. Oh dear too many BAPs on the go and not enough time.

I recently bought two Mill Hill kits as something small and different to do. This first one was a Tiny Treasured Diamond called Icy Snowflake. I had seen this one last year and liked the look of it so I gave in this time and bought it. It actually stitched up really quickly, only taking me three days to get it done.

I also bought Orchid Tassel which is stitched on paper which I've not used before. I let you know how it turns out. I've not started it yet.

At last I've managed to finish page 2 of Enchanted Flute. The next page of the chart gets a lot lighter as there is a clear change in the colours. I'll be moving on to the butterfly soon.

Tatty Ted is still continuing. I shall be making him top priority now. I've finished all the numbers down the side and am working on the second of the three teddies. I'll post a pic when there is a bit more to show.

Thank you for visiting.
