Weekends that suck

I have finished April's goal for the candlewick pillow. Pics later. That's everything done for April, 3 days before deadline. I am Legend.

Heaps done on the secret birthday xs which looks shit hot, I have to say.

Thinking about changing the pattern site over to a paid server because sooner or later my isp's gonna realise that my 3mb homepage has 50mb and well over 2 gigs of traffic a month. We'll see.

Tomorrow I will unveil the new project, because I'm too tired to do it tonight. Suffice it to say missy has a lot to answer for :)

What else. Um, new patterns and new gallery pics on the site and the leaky cauldron is linking to my HP patterns. w00t!

In other news, I had to put my dog down on Saturday. And I miss his warm head against my leg as I write my blog at night.

Ok, that's all.

Of mosquitos and megaman

I just got bit by two mosquitos. Thought you might like to know that. I got one of them. The other one is still humming around somewhere. I'll get that one too.

New patterns on the site - Megaman today. Lots and lots of megaman.

New pix on the blog. Yay! Enjoy.

 
This is the Magdalene with April goal completed. She's looking good.


Candlwick cushion with two daisies and poppies done. This one is killing me.
The thread keeps fluffing and shredding. Grrr.

Haven't stitched anything yet today. Off to do that now. Six days left in April and I'm a long way from finishing the goal on the secret birthday cross stitch. 

Wednesday is hump day

I know I said there'd be pics but there's not. I have finished the April goal for the Magdalene. Yay me! So no more about her until next month. I am mostly done with the daisies on the candlewick cushion. Haven't touched the secret brithday xs, because of the secret birthday person being around. Dug out another ufo that has been status-upgraded to wip. W00t!

So. I am off to watch Death note, vols 1 and 2. Unfortunately I do subs, not dubs, so I can't stitch while I watch. *sad face*

Ah well.

Catch you on the flip side.

Ooh, before I forget, I bought some plastic canvas today. No idea what I'm gonna do with it. Just bought it.

And updated the pattern site.

Rhymes with pictures

Okay, so I remembered to bring the camera home and have taken some pix of my wips. Now we try le grande experiment and see if I can get the pix from my 'puter to my blog...

This is the pattern front of the Candlewick pillow and where I'm at with it. I'm a bit disappointed that so much of the white outline shows thru, but not disappointed enough to go back and rip the stitches out. :)



The wedding sampler. I finished the borders in the car today and am onto the backstitch. I hate backstitch.


The Magdalene. By the end of the month I want to have finished all the way up to the line. Lots of work to do on the left hand side there. She's so beautiful.


And lastly, my ornaments. I only have 45 more to cut out, then sew together, bead and make loops. Piece of cake.


So. There's the pix. I will post updated images as I update the pieces.

In other news, I now have a thread list for the secret birthday xs. Can't tell you what it is tho -it's a secret.
