Firsts...

Well I finished my first Little House Needleworks design last night, it's took me a week to complete. I've absolutely loved stitching this, even my DH was impressed, I know I'll be stitching another design very soon, I just need to make my mind up as their all so lovely. I'm hoping to make this into a pinkeep which will be another first for me, I'll keep you posted on my progress.

I've taken part in an exchange on a forum that I belong to and I received my goodies this week.

Thank you Sarah. I'm just trying to decided how I'm going to use them. My LHN piece is going to be part of my exchange along with some other things that I've bought, I just hope that she likes them as this is my first participation in an exchange.

Finally I'm going to a stiching and quilting fair on Saturday which I'm really excited about. Thankfully I get paid on Friday and were also due a bonus, so happy stash shopping for me. I'll be sure to post pics when I get back.

A small update and some stash.

I've been busy working on my Rose Garden on a night and have made some progress, I'm really enjoying this and are working on it exclusively at the moment. I don't have as much time to stitch as I would like as my youngest 2 children are 5 month old twin boys and therefore keep me very busy, they are the cutest things on earth though!
Here's a pic of where I'm up to (the missing bits are where the beads will go).



I was also browsing the internet today and quite mysteriously Strawberry House by Little House Needleworks with the supplies to stitch it as well as Bee Keepers Cottage by Shepherds Bush fell into my cart and bought themselves! Don't know how that happened. LOL.

Stitching for 2010

So I've been thinking about what I'd like to stitch next year and so I've added a list. These designs have really caught my eye. The list however is not set in stone and I know that I will probably change my mind about some of them and as new designs come out I will probably add to it as well.
I've been working some more on Rose Garden and would post an update pic but it's raining really hard today so the light isn't good enough, maybe tomorrow if the weather improves.
