....which is not very much except lots of stitching!
First up, I finished Their Song by Blackbird Designs. This has been in my "to do" stash for far too long. I used a mix of DMC and the called for hand dyeds. I really like the way it has turned out and looking forward to getting it framed to add to my wall samplers.
I also finished the first block on Christmas at Hawk Run Hollow. I am using DMCs for this and stitching it on Newcastle Sand which looks good. I am quite pleased with the result so far. Now I have the first block finished on Shores and Christmas I really need to get started on the other blocks!
I caved and bought some new stash. I have been wanting this little kit for ages for my bathroom so finally bought it and some fabric which, well, you know, fabric right?
And finally, this is where I am up to on Robin's Song by LHN. I am using the called for hand dyeds on this and it is turning out quite nicely. The fabric is some white jobelan which I really do enjoy stitching on. I don't know why I don't do more on it. So I have nearly finished this first section and looking forward to the next bit.
Just for fun, I thought I'd post a snap of some brownies I made. I got the recipe off a pupil at school who regularly makes them for the staff. It is my first time making brownies and they were not bad for a first. However, I do think hers are much, much nicer.
Lastly, here's a picture of my cute cats having a cheeky snuggle. They are so fab!
Happy stitching all. I am hoping to get a lot done this week as it is half term but you know how that story goes!

Congrats on the completion of Their Song, it's beautiful.
You have been quite productive.
I love your finishes -- beautiful! And the brownies look pretty good too :-)
Lovely stitching and crocheting, Hazel! That photo of your cats is too adorable. <3
What pretty things you have been stitching on! The colours in Their Song are lovely, and I love the teals in Christmas at Hawk Run Hollow. Your new stash kit is really nice - I think that's great you bought it when you've wanted it for a while.
So much lovely stitching!
Isn't it always better when someone else does the cooking?! I can never seem to perfectly replicate someone elses recipe.
You're working on some lovely projects! I'm working on Shores too. It's been a very long term project for me.
Lovely work, I really like the peacock on the HRH block. Great picture of the cats too
What a fun pic of your cats.
Lots of lovely little x's you've been putting into your lovely projects.
Nice new design too.
You are busy on some super projects. Love the little blackbirds!

Brownies, how yummy. I have never made any myself but have been told that they are easy to make. So I should finally give it a try. And after seeing yours ...
Great stitching that you are showing here, Hazel. Congrats on finishing this lovely BBD piece. And great start on the HRH Christmas piece.
Hi Hazel! Everything is just beautiful!!! I love all your work as always. Blessings to you❤️
Such a lovely finish, Hazel!! And well done on finishing block one of Christmas at HRH. Having stitched that entire piece back in 2010, I know how long each block takes :) Hang in there--you'll have a beauty when you're all done!
Love your kitties--so darling :)
Wonderful stitching. The brownies look OK to me. :)
Gorgeous work in this post. I love th stylised peacock, the colours are lovely.
The brownies look good too, maybe you can pay the pupil to cook them for you!
Beautiful finish with Their Song and the first block block on CaHRH looks fantastic.
Those brownies look delicious. I haven't made any for ages and now I need to!!
Your cats are so cute.
Gorgeous finish and great progress on your other wips
The brownies look seriously yummy and the kitties are cute
