Easter Fairy & Sabrina WIP

Wow thank you everyone for all your lovely messages on Halloween Fairy, I loved stitching on her.  I started Easter Fairy on the 8th and have done a wee bit more on her on the 15th, she is my Sunday night Project whilst watching TV upstairs lol.  Here is my first Wip piccy of her.

Here is my update on Sabrina, the top section is all finished, I have started on the bottom of the dress, and will post another update, later in the week, most prob Friday, I am beading and backstitching as I go, as it saves me from scrolling up and down all the time lol.

Belated Happy New Year and WIP Update

Happy New Year everyone, we had a very quiet night on New Years Eve.  I am looking to my 2012 WIP Challenge, I have 22 WIP's that need finishing off, and Halloween Fairy is one of them.
Here she is in all her glory for now, she is being stitched on Golden Nights, hand-dyed by Mel Munsell (thanks hun).  I just adore the faric, and there will be some left over for me to stitch something else on it, not sure what yet, but it will have to be something small lol.
My next piece to be stitched will be Sabrina, I would love to get her finished next, she is really pretty and I love her, plus I want to stitch Elizabeth to go with her as well.  Now all I have to do is start saving up to slowly start framing all these gorgeous pieces.

Here is Sabrina, as of now, I shall hopefully be starting to work on her this weekend, and hoping HF (Halloween Fairy) will be finished today.  Sabrina's head is done, just scrolled up so that I can concentrate on the bottom section of her dress, I just have the the right side of the dress in the top section to finish, then onto the bottom part woohoooo.  Here's hoping I can clear a few WIPs this year, before I start anymore of my wonderful stash.

A HD, WIP and more home

First of I would like to show you what I stitched Karen for her Birthday.  As you can see I framed it, she loved it, and I know it has pride of place in her lounge.  It was a fab weekend, no children for me, her son was out for the day on Saturday and we had a Twilight Fest, mmmmmm am def Team Jacob on that front lol !!!!!

 Here is my wip as of yesterday evening, I ahve worked on her for 2 days, and here is where I got her too.  She will be worked on more tonight and over the coming weeks.  She is a dream to stitch up for sure, am soo lovely her, I just have the Easter Fairy to go now onec Halloween Fairy is finshed, I am looking forward to stitching her up in the New Year.
Pompejian Garden was put away, as I was going thro a tough patch and will come out once I have moved home and settled down, so for now small and easy things are great for my mind at the moment. 

As for what is going on at home.  The sad news is I am splitting up from my Husband, and it was not an easy decision to make, but there are a lot of factors as to why. 
Thanks to everyone for your support, am so enternally grateful to all my wonderful friends who are also my family

Results & Apologies

Hi Everyone

Sorry forgot to post here about my news.  I got the all clear, for my biopsy a couple of weeks ago now.  nI have had other sad news recently, but I will not go into that just yet, I have sooooo much going on, it's unreal.

I have had a HD called Cat Lessons for People, will post a pic one day, but sorry I am not in the mood for blogging or stitching at the moment.  I will come back to it one day, but when I don't know, please be patient and I will keep you all updated soon

Oct/Nov Goals

Well unforntunately due to one thing or another I have hardly done any stitching since my last updated.  I was kinda hoping to get Pompeji finished, but with a Mamogram due, I have been more worried about that than getting anything finished.

I went for an ultrasound on my breasts and nothing was found, but because I have a thickening of the breast tissue that is bigger on the right compared to the left, they still want me to go and get a Mamogram, which I am having a week today.  Am going to try and stitch to take my mind off it for now.  Altho there is nothing to worry about, I am a little scared to say the least.  I haven't been sleeping well, and it is all catching up with me.  I will keep you posted.

Goals for November

Just to get Pompeji finished if I can, and worry about the other stitching, once next week is outta the way.  Sos for not being around Blog wise, but now you know why.  Take care all and hugs to everyone who needs them.
