Bathurst weekend

2 weekends ago was the Bathurst V8 car races which we always watch. I actually stitched this year and ended up with 2 finishes. Yay! I originally though I would stitch on one of my BAPs but decided to go with quickies. Mind you, the second one wasn't as quick as I thought.


The first one is December 25 by Lizzie*Kate from the JCS 2010 ornament issue. I'd only stitched one ornament from this issue and since I just got this year's edition, I thought it was high time to do some more. So both of my finishes are from this mag.


December 25
Designer: Lizzie*Kate
Fabric: 32ct Natural linen
Threads: DMC
Started & finished Oct 8 2010

This one is the Prairie Schooler design. I love their charts and had looked at their new ornament chart but it didn't do it for me so I haven't bought it. However, I did stitch this. It took me a while! Oh & I noticed they have recycled the names. I have another ornament with the same name (without the S on 'Nights') from another JCS edition.

Two small finishes

I can see some light at the end of the stitching slump tunnel! I finished off these two fobs yesterday...well, one's a pin cushion actually. The pin cushion was started in January according to my note on the chart but I must admit, it's been sitting waiting to be finished properly for a while. The other I started reasonably recently. Probably a few months though.


I just did an order from Lois and got 3 more small SB pieces to do. Simple Joys Pin Cushion, Tiny Garden needle roll (which matches this fob) and Sweet Stitches Fob although I'm not particularly fussed with the colour of the ribbon. It's bright aqua and while I love that colour, it just doesn't do it for me on that fob. But we shall see when it's stitched (which could be a while LOL). I also got the latest Lizzie*Kate Tiny Tidings. I just looove LK and her things are so quick to stitch so you may see a couple of those before Christmas. It just depends how I'm feeling.

So...onto the pics.
