have been quietly stitching

Posted by: claire93 on: May 31, 2011

I’ve been a little quiet of late – mainly due to technical problems – but I have been stitching. Technical problems are computer-related (aren’t they usually?) and my other half has been doing some more life-saving with my computer which is a hand-me-down old lady having belonged to eldest son AND darling daughter before becoming [...]

SALs – Happy Dancing

Posted by: claire93 on: May 20, 2011

Two happy dances going on in this house since two SAL have come to an end. First, “Flip Flop Summer” (Barbara Ana) – a SAL I organised on my French blog over 8 weeks.  This was great fun to stitch, with lots of vivid colours. I chose to finish this off as a framed piece [...]

nose in my books

Posted by: claire93 on: May 18, 2011

It’s been a while since I mentioned my “back to school” home schooling in Animal Care but rest assured it’s still an on-going thing even if I haven’t been studying as regularly as I should. This month I have tried to be more strict with myself and organise a proper study schedule which means cutting [...]

my first Tilda bunny and a SAL update

Posted by: claire93 on: May 16, 2011

At the weekend, I finally got round to doing something I’ve merely been talking about for several weeks . . . I set to work on my first Tilda bunny – yay ^^ Since this was my first attempt, and I was feeling a tad nervous, I decided not to use linen (which is the [...]

a few stitching updates

Posted by: claire93 on: May 13, 2011

I don’t feel that I’ve been doing much stitching of late. The main reasons are that I’ve been busy nagging second son to get his work placement report finished and sent to Uni on time (done), looking at uni choices for my daughter (for September 2012 but it’s never too early to start reading up), [...]

Lovely Lionel delivers again . . .

Posted by: claire93 on: May 10, 2011

I recently organised a giveaway on my French blog – for no reason other than I felt like it ^^  I pulled two winners’ names out of the hat, and prizes were duly sent and received.  Imagine my surprise, therefore, when Lovely Lionel stopped by the other day with a bubble envelope, smelling of lavendar [...]

SAL “Flip Flop Summer” progress

Posted by: claire93 on: May 7, 2011

The SAL “Flip Flop Summer” is still going strong in France – stitchers are all incredibly enthusiastic and it’s really great to see all the different versions coming along. On Friday I posted the 6th stage on my French blog so there are only two more stages to go before this Barbara Ana design is [...]

SAL “In the Night” stages 2 & 3

Posted by: claire93 on: May 2, 2011

I got temporarily behind on this little design: “In the Night” (Jardin Privé) that I am stitching as a SAL with mamoures.  However, over the weekend, I caught up and managed to complete both stages 2 and 3.  Since I’m stitching on a lovely pink fabric, I decided to change colours accordingly so my version [...]
