Home Sweet Home

I've put down Dragonfly long enough to stitch this piece for my sister who moved into her new home last week. I've made it up into a hanger but forgot to take a picture of it finished.


I've still been very busy with Dragonfly and have actually finished page 4 and started page five (the second row of pages - so exciting). I'll try and get a pic in the next few days and update you.

Dragonfly has wings

Wow, it's been over a month since I posted. Where does the time go? I guess that as I'm working on bigger projects at the moment there is less to show, I'll try to post once a month though at least. This makes a good record for me if nothing else.

So here is dragonfly. I've now finished page three of the chart and started on page four. I think this will stitch up quicker than page three as the wings were more confetti stitch and therefore slower to do.

Happy stitching all, and thanks for your visit.

Response to Patricia

This is a piece called Enchanted Flute from Heaven and Earth Designs (HAED) by Josephine Wall. The link will take you to the right page of the web site. Warning though, they have loads of beautiful designs which may well tempt you.

Let me know if you do get anything.

Happy stitching.

Another butterfly

I've spent the past week stitching on Enchanted Flute again. Another butterfly is appearing in the picture and there is another larger butterfly to do before the page is finished.

I'm really torn between stitchingon this and on Dragonfly. They are both addictive. For now I'll will stick to a weekly rotation (changing on a Monday), but I might change that to fortnightly so that Enchanted Flute can progress a bit quicker. There are so many confetti stitches in it that it does grow very slowly.

Happy stitching and thanks for your visit.

Page 2

Here she is, page 2 of Dragonfly is complete.


I'm going back to Enchanted Flute for this week's stitching. Have a good one everybody.

A New Start

Well I just couldn't resist. I've done it, I've started Dragonfly. This is a finished page 1 and a tiny bit of page 2. There's 20 pages in total, although the last 4 are all partical pages. I am absolutely hooked on this one at the moment. She seems to develope so much quicker than Enchanted Flute probably because there are a lot less confetti stitches in this one.


Anyway, thank you for visiting, and enjoy your stitching.

I've been spending money!

They had a one day sale on the HAED sight yesterday to mark St Patricks day and there is a chart I've had my eye on for a while (You can see where this is going can't you!)



Yep, I gave in and bought Dragonfly



It's not as extravagent as it looks. To start with there was 30% off the chart, then I've already got the fabric and most of the threads. I've just ordered the rest of the threads from Sew and So they are always very quick at deliverying them so I should have them either tomorrow or Saturday. When I think I'm going to have time to actually stitch this, of course, is a different matter. Watch this space!
