Okay, I caved...

I have a new start! I have started A Most Noble Pursuit which is a collaberation of ten different designers. Here is my small start on the first square which is by The Workbasket. It is worked on 36 count lakeside linen and uses needlepoint silks. What's another BAP hey??

The Workbasket

Here is my finish for the JA's March Challenge. I made this little pillow and stuffed it with lavender.

Blue Ribbon Alphabet tree

I am having a hard time trying to decide which SALs to join at the moment as there are that many going on.
There's

EMS Rose Sampler
Periphaeria Spanish Sampler
Papillon Creations How Does Your Garden Grow?
Ink Circles Book of Circles mystery
Tournicoton Mystery
and probably several others which I am unaware of. If you know of any then let me know and I'll add them to my to do one day list.

Here's some pics of the kids. One of Elijah smiling. Poor lad he now has three teeth that I can spot. And one of Lily doing her Girls Rock thing with her new electric guitar that her dad bought her.

Hope everyone has a fun stitching week. xx

I must not let my DD see this picture of your DD with her Hello Kitty guitar or I will NEVER hear the end of it! LOL!

Three teeth? Good heavens! Our Arden drools like he's teething, but so far I don't feel anything in there.

Your pillow is beautiful.

Karin said...

I love the Hello Kitty guitar - it's fantastic. Is she learning to play? Your stitching is lovely.

She is so cute with her guitar, what a fun one with the Hello Kitty on it. Elijah looks very happy in his picture too, it doesn't look like his cutting three teeth bothered him at all.

Your new start is looking great, that will certainly keep you busy for a while. Your pillow turned out lovely as well. There are several wonderful SAL's going right now. The Ink Circles one is the one that is tempting me.
