Very Late June WIPocalypse :D

Well with the move and everything I may have totally forgotten my June WIPocalypse post and it's almost time for the July one!

I have been busy just not really stitching on my big projects much because I don't have the time to sit much.

For afternoon tea you've already seen this photo but I may as well show you again :D it's so pretty with one page finished!

Now please excuse the really bad photos it's pouring down rain here and it's hard to get decent light.

I have worked on Jardin Prive. Not much as I have been trying to work on Geisha Girl and another project which I will tell you about tomorrow!

You can see the shadow of my hands at the bottom ... as I said really bad picture but you get the idea. I noticed something though when I was reading the letters in the alphabet. They have missed out a letter. Can anyone guess which one?

On an exciting note I have FINISHED Geisha Girl!

I am soooo happy about this piece. Working on evenweave which I love working on and it was much easier than the small girl I think the bigger count helps! and the evenweave not linen. I really don't like linen much!

I am going to finish this one into a needle book as I have nothing to keep my needles in. I really need to find some decent quality wool felt.

So those are the main projects that I have been working on and I have one more little finish to show you tomorrow.

All the best.

Well we've moved in ... sorta

As in all the stuff is now out of Phill's unit so that can be rented out which makes life a bit easier.

The house is full of rooms with piles of stuff in them. The books are spread out over the floor in the lounge the kitchen thankfully has no more boxes which is good and the bedroom is pretty much packed into the cupboards. That said that is only the piles upstairs we keep finding more downstairs!

Just an idea of what the house looked like before we had the carpets changed in the main bedroom

this is what they looked like before. I don't know whether they have been cleaned in years! They looked really manky!

To this :D

They are a gorgeous reddish brown with a very white yellow on the walls. They look stunning and so bright. Also wonderful and thick under the feet. There is a nice thick underlay and everything.

Now I did also want to show pictures of my garden beds.

I have three veggie patches. Now we've moved in I'm going to plant some beans and capsicum and see what comes out. Oh and that is an orange tree they aren't quite ripe yet but they are very close.

Oh on the job front ... I don't have one anymore.

I QUIT! maybe not the best time to be doing so but I finally had enough of being treated like I had no clue what I was talking about and couldn't be trusted to do my job. So when my friend left about two weeks ago that gave me the boost I needed to quit.

So I'm going back to supply teaching next term and hopefully I will find enough supply work in the new area to make up for the lack of permanent job.  Actually all I need is one day a week to break even (which isn't much considering I've been working 5 days almost full time) and two days would mean I would come out ahead!

Oh I have been stitching but not much. The house is in a shambles with boxes everywhere and it's hard to settle to stitching.

But I have done two keyrings :D one for me and one for Phill for the new house keys. Can you guess which one is which?

anyway that is all for today. I hope to be on more after next week as Optus are coming on Monday to install the internet!

and the winner is.....

MDGTJULIE!

Please send me your email as soon as possible.

(I have no clue how to get the pictures here!)

I don't have internet at the new place so I will not have many pictures to show at the moment or much opportunity to post but hopefully many opportunities to stitch. Life is going crazy at the moment.
