WIPs and a bell pull!

Thanks for the lovely comments about my daughters, I am very proud of them as they are very good, ok they have their moments..... but on the whole they are great. They had a lovely day and now have birthday money to spend!!

Thought I would share a couple of my WIPs today. Firstly here is Family Tree, I managed to continue with the blue edges, another names box and some of the large surname box. I would have liked to have done a bit more.... but the weekend's events got in the way!!

I also started the Lizzie Kate - March Flip it.... not a lot to show yet but it's a start. I have a few of the other months now too so will be able to continue with the set!!

Also thanks to Shellie I have joined a charity stitching group that can be found here. I am really pleased to get involved in this project as it is something else useful I can do with my stitching. For stitchers they want 6 x 6 inch squares of certain themes that they make into quilts. They also require knitters so I have recruited my mom to knit some prem baby clothes. Please feel free to check out their forum!! I have started on a "Fairy" square and I intend to do a circus theme one next. I know Shellie has done a disney square. The themes are quite varied. Here is the progress so far -

Lastly I did manage some machine stitching on Sunday afternoon and here is my D for Dancer bell pull. I am very pleased with the finish and it was really very easy to make up. It is now hanging in Becki's room! I bought the bell pull ends from sewandso they are made by Framecraft.

This week I am back on Country Idyll, I want to get lots of the greens on the trees done this week. Tonight is Stitch Club so I'll be working on my Lilliput Lane for my SAL, I'll be glad when I have finished this.... not much more to do!!

Enjoy the rest of your week.
