Mel's Easter Update

Morning all,

Welcome to Easter Monday.  Had a fantastic few days visiting mum.  Did some Spring Cleaning (well its Spring somewhere in the world) and did some librarian type work with mum's books (she should be able to find most of them now ...maybe).

We also planted the two roses I gave mum as Easter presents and we've stitched.  And stitched.  And stitched.

I started worked on and completed Stellar the newest colourscape from Patti at Moonflower designs.  I also did little scattered bits on Singularity by FireWing Designs and FireFlower by Needlemania designs but not enough to take pictures.

I also received a gift from mum.  She finished the little cat piece she was working on and presented it to me.

Have about another 20 hours here before heading home, so more relaxation today.  I'm loving this !!!!!

Fire Wing Friday

Well I have three other projects that are a higher priority and have deadlines looming, not to mention finishing off FireFlower ..... but well it *is* Friday and this is a little easier than the 32ct black most of my other current projects are being stitched on.

I have a bit bigger blob there now. That is the dragon's head, not that you can tell :) First time using Needlepaint threads - very very nice !!!! I need tog et more of these - they have a good feel to them!

Another hot and probably sleepless night looming - fourth in a row - I can't wait - Sunday night we are finally supposed to get a cool change through ..... sleeep! I'd trade stash for sleep!

WIP - Singularity

My project for FireWing Friday for the PTP group.

Fire Wing Friday

Well my supplies for Fire Wing's Singularity that I ordered during Nashville finally arrived yesterday. (dyeing time plus international post causing the delays). Marilyn and Shari from PTP were wonderful - they supplied everything needed for this design except the needle and DMC 310.

I've joined the FireWing Friday SAL on the PTP group and this is the piece I'm doing. Everybody in the SAL works on a FireWing design of their choice on Fridays.

Well let's see, Friday morning I woke at 4am (goodness only knows why) so I got up and spent some time on my model stitch job, then became a librarian from 8am until 6pm, then went shopping then finally home and dinner. Picked up this kit with great enthusiasm and got maybe 20 stitches in it before I fell asleep with the needle in my hand.....

I'm such an energetic party animal !!!!!

Oh just so you know, the bit I did was the silvery strip just under the dragon's head, leading from her chin and back up to the right.
