Christmas ornie exchange

Friday, December 27, 2013 Posted In Edit This 0 Comments »
Joined the ornie exchange on ACN this year, and this is what my lovely partner Colly sent me:
I've been wanting the Fa la la ornie from LHN for ages, so very pleased.

This is what I made for Sarah:
Found these tiny sleds on Silver needle and thought they were adorable. The design is by Foxwood Crossings. I actually made four of these this year - as well as the one for Sarah I did one for my parents, one for my niece and one for a non-stitchy friend. Forgot to take a photo of the rest (one exactly the same as this and two other designs). Finished all four by 15th Dec 2013

Just a quick UFO this week, and not my own. A friend did a mistake on this years ago and when I heard I earlier this autumn I said I would frog, fix and finish it for her. As you can see by the dates it's long overdue, the kid is pretty big now, but I'm sure hjs mum will appreciate it. As you can see there wasn't that much to it, so got it done one setting.

By Ink Circles.

Finally this is done. This has been a right nightmare to do, but I stuck in there and got it done in the end, couldn't have done it without support from my UFO friends on ACN. Stitched over one on 40 count Irish linen with the Monet Painter's thread.

Finished 27th October 2013

This design (or most if it) was in one of the mags, and I've been meaning to stitch it for a few years - even bought the pieces to go with it when I was in China three years ago. Have modified it a fair bit, and now I have finally finished it - with a little "help from my friends" aka support from fellow UFO night stitchers on ACN. Will try to finish it as the table top of a folding table when I work out how,  or find a table that fits.

Blackwork Chessboard for UFO night:

Whittled spoon

Friday, August 09, 2013 Posted In Edit This 2 Comments »
Well, this is kind of on the side of what I normally show on here, but I gave whittling a go this week and really enjoyed it. My granddad is really good at it and I want to learn from him now I think. So this is a spoon I made, I did it all from my imagination and I'm quite pleased with how it turned out (though I guess you can't see it all that well on the photo).

By Michael Powell. It's a big un! I've been chipping  away at this for a good while - a very enjoyable stitch. I have the second design in this series in my stash and I might actually make a start on it quite soon.
