Happy New Year! 2016!

Happy New Year everyone. Unfortunately, ours was spoiled by neighbours partying till 5am and so we didn't get very much sleep and I ended up being quite ill - painful throat; feels like it has razor blades in it. You know what I'm talking about.

But, not allowing that to put me off my Crazy 7 new starts, I thought I'd show you where I am up to. 

Day 1

Robin's Song
Little House Needleworks


Very pleased with my progress here and loving the jobelan fabric I am working on. Thank you to Tracy for the fabric.

Day 2
The Moon Shell
The Sampler Girl


Super excited by the progress on this one. I have almost completed one page and it is only two pages long so a definite finish is in the bag already. I am stitching it using DMC and some lovely blue mottled fabric 28 count but not sure what it is. 

Day 3
Morning Glory
The Drawn Thread


Pah! I am not happy with this at all. The design is way too fussy for me - chock full of backstitch and other stitches and the fabric count seems quite small 34 count legacy - which I have stitched on before so go figure.

So that's it from me for now. 
I've been into work then home again due to this horrid sore throat so Day 4 is coming up. 

Ciao x

  1. I'm sorry neighbors ruined your new year and your good sleep....our neighbor's dog howls and yelps and barks to beat a band on most evenings and it is enough to make me want to beat my head on the wall...I understand :(

    LOVE your starts :)
