Nearly finished another

Here's my Sunday update on View from the Terrace, I was hoping to finish it this time around but my eventful holiday meant I had a few non sewing days!! So nearly there but not quite!

The close up shows I have just the sky, top of the border and a few small bits around the cottage. Luckily this design has very little back stitch! I am very pleased with how it is looking. Shame my holiday wasn't a similar view!!

Now I did consider continuing it this week to get it done, but the sky is getting a bit boring! So I have sorted my rota and will slot it back in soon.

My new rota (well not much different) is as follows-

• Week One (next) - Family Tree + Mom's Sampler
• Week Two - View from the Terrace (to complete) + Mom's Sampler + D for Dancer (to start)
• Week Three - Warwickshire Map + Mom's Sampler
• Week Four - Mom's Sampler (If not finished - to complete) + New Start - "All hearts come home" (Passione Ricamo Freebie for Christmas)

I have also ordered some 18 ct ivory aida for Henry VIII and Wivies so will be itching to start that. When it arrives I will get it attached to the frame but I must finish Warwickshire Map first (well I'll try but I may just start a little tiny weeny bit!! You know how it is!!)

Here's my update on the Blue Ribbon Design freebie - Christmas ornament. I haven't done a huge amount but it is taking shape.

I have also just ordered a new chart and some more fabric for another small sampler I have seen!! I will fill you in on this next posting!

Glad it's Friday evening!!

So glad it is Friday and I have 2 days away from work...... managed to do a bit of retail therapy on the way home from work, of course bought stuff for my daughters not for me!

Since tea have managed to work on both "View from the Terrace" and "Family Tree".

Here is a picture of the "View" one..... reminds me of holidays in France or Italy.

Will be going for our nightly walk in a moment (having to wait for half time in the football!!) then may continue with my Christmas card..... although do have a drop of cider in the fridge waiting for me..... so sewing may be put on hold!

Have ordered my card blanks, the link to the site I use is as follows Liz Craft they only have a few basic cards blanks, as otherwise it is more a papercraft site, but are a good price and free P & P for UK if spend over £10. Should arrive next week.

Also browsed some other blogspots this afternoon, want to learn how to link to some of them and become blogging friends!!
