Firefox has crashed taking a fully written blog draft with it twice. If it crashes again, no more blog!News from this week:
Mum has headed home today. As per usual it feels all too soon, we both enjoy each others company and both enjoy being on holidays :) However in amongst the burning issues of warcraft, soap making and whether to eat breakfast or brunch, we did manage to get some stitching time in.
Mystery Start 1 was correctly identified by Shawn and Kay as Bright Idea by Inkcircles. I'm amused that so many people guessed it was an Inkcircles chart straight off. Are Tracy's designs that unique or is she that known as my favourite designer? Or is it that she is also a favourite designer of those doing the guessing? I've included an updated pic of the project here. This project will now be set aside until the remaining threads arrive from Carrie. Unfortunately Carrie's family all have the lurgy, so she has my deepest sympathies!
Mystery Start 2 was, surprisingly, not identified. Hint: It is not a Dinky Dyes design, but it is from another of my favourite designers ... I did put a few stitches into this one, but not enough to help with identification. Update pic here.
I also stitched the first part of Abi Gurden's SAL over on the Stitch Specialists group. Part one was cross stitching on evenweave/linen. I have already stitched on these fabrics a fair amount, so this was a quick stitch for me. Update pic here. Can't wait for the next part in a fortnight's time.
Also this weekend I found floss for rosanne and a chart for Julie, so my stitcher's karma has received a boost :)
However, like all good week's there was one down patch this morning. While hunting for the threads & chart I stumbled over a project I was working on years ago as part of my train commute. It's a small project, so I figured I could get some more stitches into it before spending the rest of the week on Rosanne's RR piece.
I really really really hate it when I get an attack of the frogs and put the piece away without unpicking it. {grrrrr} Well I've found the mistake now, and un-stitched all I've done this morning, I'll fix the mistake before putting it away this time!
Finally this week's photo is of my two cats. They don't get along so pictures like this are rare. I call this one "Trubs is too hot & tired to growl at Abby for the temerity of eating at her own food dish"

Funny that you mention Firefox crashing twice! I've NEVER ever had crashes with this program before, but the latest version crashes something terrible! Every time I use it I get one or two of them crashes...
Progress looks fine, sweetie!
Great progress - it would seem your stitching mojo has returned! Glad your mum was there with you and you had plenty of things to keep you busy :) Poor Trubs - I completely sympathize with her :)
Great stitching this week! And as we are going to get hit with between 3 - 6 inches of snow over the next day or so, I will trade some of Trub's hot for a little bit of my too cold!!
Nice progress! Glad to see you're back at it and enjoying all but the frogs :)
I found the culprit - another program was downloading an update in the background and hogging all the resources. That's now been stopped.
Although most of the rest of Australia is flooding - here in Perth we have just had the driest year on record - so yes any rain or snow you can send this side of Australia would be most appreciated!
Great progress this week. I have ONE photo of Pi (much younger) & Tips (previous lady of the manor) eating next to each other. That's from 7 years sharing the house. They detested each other. Sigh.
