A finish and a UFO

I finished this tulips which I've been on with for 2 weeks. YES 2 weeks to do a small finish which I intend to turn into a coaster for work only I found out this week my contract which ends on 31 March will probably not be renewed so I won't have much need for it at work. Anyway here it is before it's mounted into a coaster.

I have picked up a UFO I started ages ago (look through my old blog posts and you'll see updates) I do like this and intend to turn it into a cushion to go on the window cill on the half landing. It has taken a lot longer than I thought to do it but that's the story of my life. Anyway here's how it was when I've picked it up again and hopefully when I post an update in a week or so it'll be obvious how much I've done 

This weeks update

John Clayton's Calla Lilly 

And Xmas Fairy (which looks big but is card sized 

First finish of 2014

First finish on 2014. It's from WOCS and was a Subs Extra. The spots are my ironing board cover showing through not the material. I'm going to frame it and put it up in the downstairs toilet 

Weekly Update

I've started a new project, I know I shouldn't have but I've been desperate to start this for ages. It's a kit I've had for years but I was sorting through some stash I had in the attic and found it then. It's John Clayton's Calla Lilly, I also have the Tulip to do so hopefully I can stitch them both as a matching pair. Here's the update so far, it's stitched  on 27 count evenweave.

I'm also still working on the Shells I started over Christmas-it's an easy one done on 14 count aida

It's nearly finished and I hope to finish it within the next week or so.

This weeks stitching.

This year I intend to take a photo every week of my weeks stitching. This is what I've been working on over the Xmas period. It's easy to do but a lot of the colours are very similar so I have to keep am careful eye on what I'm doing. 

This weeks Stitching

Not done much over the last couple of weeks due to the time of year. I had hoped to have this finished by now but I am still enjoying doing it.
