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.

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!

Butterfly Pattern

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.
