WIPocalypse November

So I have done some stitching this month. I will start with what you haven't seen yet.
I spent yesterday stitching on Winter Fairy and made some good progress.

At the beginning of the month...

I'm really happy with my progress in one day of working on it!

Last Month

This Month

Only a little bit of progress on this one mainly in the black but any little bit counts!

I also finished a couple of smalls

The Year of the Dragon by Dragon Dreams

Christmas Cow


and some progress on '99 which is awesome!

So there is my update. Surprising small until you add in my crochet but that doesn't belong in the WIPocalypse update!

Anyway I'm going to work :D

What I have been up to this week...

In between feeling like hell, I am happy to report that I have done SOME stitching. This little amount was a push. I started and finished a new ornament, I wanted the 2012 Just Cross Stitch Ornament Collection just for the dragon dreams ornament.

I finished it tonight.

It's done on 28ct polstitches fabric over one. It is tiny. Only about 2-3 inches wide.

Since I haven't been feeling the best I haven't been feeling great when stitching. My head has been hurting when I tried to concentrate so I turned around and started making crocheted Christmas ornaments from Planet June. I LOVE that website! So many cool patterns. I think I will be making a number of these.

I have added some sparkle in the middle one, I used DMC metallics one strand in the red. You can just see the glitter of gold.

There are seven all told that I have finished though I plan to do many more. They only take a couple of hours to finish and I think they will make good presents.

I am feeling much better today. Which is great! I hope I continue to feel better.

Happy Stitching

It's been a BAD week

I know on Tuesday I posted up my IHSW stuff and mentioned a really bad headache well it didn't go away. I was teaching all week didn't have the ability to take the time off and I was so tired. I ended up with a bad cold and when I get a cold it comes with a sinus infection which didn't help my headache.

Thankfully after collapsing Thursday afternoon and sleeping away the afternoon and night I was feeling a bit better by Friday.

I am still coughing, and I haven't been well again today. A bit of a tummy bug or something.

I will have some update photos another day I don't feel up to it today.

IHSW

I worked on this one some on Saturday morning and a bit this past week too. I don't think I've shown an update for a while.

Here is the latest photos from '99

One row plus one bottle done and another 5 really close. Only another 70 odd more to go!

And I finally finished the Christmas Cow :D

 I also worked a bit on Afternoon Tea :D I love working on this when I get a chance. Here is where it was...

And now :D ....

So a lot of black added and some fulling stitches done which aren't really noticeable but I know I did them!

Since my head is hurting with a splitting headache I will leave you with this progress and go to bed!

happy stitching,
Caitlin

Twilight Breaking Dawn: Part 2

WOW!

I  went to see it last night and it was absolutely awesome!

I have to say I am glad twilight is now finished but what a way to go out. If you are a twilight fan I would highly recommend it to anyone. I don't really want to say more than that because I don't want to give it away but the ending was amazing.

Have fun :D
