Well, so much for squirreling myself away for the weekend with my stitching. The weekend proved a fairly busy one with taking the kiddies to the cinema - it was the boy's first time. He seemed to enjoy it for the most part and didn't bother the audience too much. We also went to a small craft fair so by the time we got back that was the best part of the day gone. Sunday proved just as difficult as I started with the cold/flu symptoms that seem to be doing the rounds at the moment.
However, all that said, I did manage to get some stitching done. I worked on the Istitch mystery and the Dandy Dreams chart in the evenings. I only had to frog the Istitch part twice this time!! I seriously think it is because I am feeling so tired and run down. Anyway, here are my progress pics:
Istitch part 4
Dandy Dreams
I mainly focused on the green at the bottom and there was a heck of a lot of counting in it. I am so close to finishing this. I reckon I should aim to finish it in about 2 weeks.
That's all from me for know folks. I did start some knitting but my DS took it all off the needles and then proceeded to hide the needles!!! I am still one missing!! Grrrrrrr...... I hate knitting.
Have a good week folks.

Good Progress :) I know what its like being sick and dealing with kids (just been through 5 weeks of it)so I think you've done great and lol mine do the same with my knitting needles
Aww, I'm so sorry to hear you're sick, Hazel. Feel better soon.
What movie did you guys go to?
iStitch looks great, and I love Dandy Dreams. Those greens you worked on are yummy.
And.... I had to LOL at your knitting needles. Maybe DS was thinking you should stitch instead. ;)
*hugs*
Despite the size of the SAL I must have frogged the blessed thing about eight times on the bird motif, just couldn't get it right. Yours is looking lovely and I've commented before on DD! Do hope you are beginning to feel better.
Both pieces look great. I recently finished Dandy Dreams - isn't it just the greatest?!
I had to smile at the knitting part of your post. Crafting with young children and some pets can be challenging!!
Lovely progress! I just love how everyone's Mystery Sampler looks with their personal color choices and little changed details!
Great stitching Hazel! I really like the floss color you chose for the iStitch SAL!
Both pieces are so pretty!
Great progress on your wips. I hope you are feeling better now and you find your missing knitting needle.
Beautiful stitching, what patience you have, hope you find that needle soon :D

Great progress on your SAL and Dandy Dreams. I struggled with the bottom border too. Mine's still got a mistake in it, I just gave up in the end and worked round it!
Great progress on your SAL & I love Dandy Dreams !!!
Lovely WIPs Hazel :) Sorry you're feeling a bit under the weather - it's started to turn a bit chilly, hasn't it? Feel better soon! Also sorry about the knitting needles - arrrgh!
Both pieces are looking wonderful, Hazel...lovely color you're using for the SAL, too!
I remember being sick so much more when my sons were small. Kids bring so many germs home from school... Hope you feel better very soon :)
Wonderful, wonderful stitches my dear.
Sometimes those simple designs are the biggest pain aren't they. I had a piece just like that.
Your progress is lovely, I love dandy Dreams :)
I'm so sorry to hear that you're sick, hope you get better soon :)
Hope you're feeling better soon, Hazel. Good progress on your WiPs. Your DS with your knitting needles made me laugh :)

Lovely progress on your Mystery Sampler "I Stitch", and "Dandy Dreams" is coming along nicely too. So sorry to hear that you are feeling a bit under the weather. Hope that you are feeling much better soon!

My kids & I always loved going to the cinema together--such fun.
I hope you're feeling better by now!

Gorgeous stitching, must be quite soothing to do...except when a mistake occurs. Hard on the eyes too I imagine.
Sorry to hear you feel run down.
