"Just How Many Projects Do You Have Coming?"

My sister asked me today! I had to think for a moment before I could reply not that many!

I counted them out.

1. I'm currently working on Boxers
2. I have a Magaret Sherry card banging around in my handbag for when I can't carry boxers
3. Winter Fairy by JE ( I now have all I need to start it ..... )
4. Afternoon Tea by Randal Spangler (which she so nicely pointed out is still on its way here :( )

Really compared to a lot of blogs I follow my collection looks pathetic.

But to her credit I do sit there and moon over magazines and show her so many patterns that I just need to have but I of course am good and never get around to doing it.

I have been contained I only bought ONE HAED! I wanted to see how I liked the first one before buying a tonne of patterns that I may not like to stitch up. I also contained myself to only buying the fabrics and threads for one of the JE seasonal fairies I think I'm being VERY good!

I did persuade mum to buy me an early birthday present of 2 Q Snap frames the 11" and the 17" but when they get here I know what projects are going on them and my birthday is now less than a month away so hopefully they do actually get here BEFORE my birthday ... I think I got her to order them just in time.

So maybe I do have a lot coming at least when you look at it in terms of a non stitcher but that's because I NEED all this stuff. But the big thing is I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH!! My stash is way to small!

Stitchy Stash :D

So I came home yesterday to find a lovely present sitting on the table!

3 packages!

Not one but three packages! It was lovely, I am such an impatient person when it comes to mail!

When I opened the first one out came:

I won it on the cross stitching forum from the lovely Amanda :D It is a lovely book!

Then I opened my next package!

Midnight Magic

Midnight Magic fabric from Polstitches, it is such a gorgeous colour.

Then to top it all off the third package had the threads and beads and krienik I need to stitch the Winter Fairy. So now I have everything I need to start that one. Oh to stay strong and avoid it for a little while......

Here is a photo of all my new stash. I will be in ecstasy.

Cooking and Boxers

Passionfruit Cake

My Mum's birthday was on Thursday so I baked a cake for her. It is plain butter cake with passionfruit icing. Mum had received a batch of passionfuits the other day to make more passionfruit butter. So I borrowed one with her permission because she wanted passionfruit icing!

I also have an update on boxers:

WIP 12-9-11

It has been fun to work in a colour other than brown! Though those greys are hard to stitch they are so close to each other. He looks so cute!

Boxers

I've been having fun with this guy as his face is starting to appear.

This guy is lots of fun, I can't wait to see more dogs appear.
