I have spent a week and a half working on Henry and I am really pleased with the amount I have done. It seemed the dresses I had left to complete were so huge that it would take me forever, but I stuck with the greens on Catherine of Aragon's dress and finished both side sections. I have also completed some of the side border and stitched her name.
I am going to give it a rest now and get back to my Christmas Window that I have neglected recently also.
Otherwise I haven't done much else. I completed another charity square about a week ago - here it is a pirate! I need to start another square but haven't got around to it yet.
What I have done is made myself another bag. I bought a new magazine with the material and handles as a free gift and here is the end result. It was so easy to do, I love it. I am currently using it to bring my stuff to work. I am going to get some more of these handles and make some more as my mom and the girls like it.
The girls have just a week left before all their exams are over. Still feels very strange! Prom is next Thursday so we have been sorting hair and makeup appointments. Laura is having her hair coloured tomorrow at the hairdressers as she has short hair and won't have much done to hers on the day. Becki is letting me colour hers on Friday then on the day she is having it all put up with lots of curls. She had a trial run recently and it looked really nice. I hope the fine weather we have at the moment stays for the 24th !!
I also have to confess to a new start ! I had my World of Cross Stitch magazine come on Saturday and there was a lovely Blackwork Lady chart, stitched on dusky pink evenweave. As soon as I saw it I just had to do it.... it just caught my eye so much. So I ordered some fabric which arrived the next day and I stitched just a tiny bit last night. I will share a photo when I have a bit more to show.
Happy stitching
