Mel's Sunday Update

Yes for a second week in a row I have a stitching update :) :)

{Looks up - no ... no the sky isn't falling in just yet ....}

Lets see this week I'm back to working part time but then I'm also doing all the cooking, cleaning, running to the vets, getting the car registered in this state etc etc so my days are as full and certainly more draining than if I'd just been sitting at a desk full time.

But even then, these other things still have to be done, so I'm grateful for any stitching time even if it is only at night :)

I was invited to a Saturday get together at Colours Down Under yesterday.  There were six of us there and great amusement, merriment, stashing and a little stitching was had by all. I thoroughly enjoyed the day and plan to attend next month's gathering too :)

I used the time there to get a significant portion of Vienna Ball Part 6 completed.  Starting Part 7 tonight I hope.

I also stashed a little. I deliberately didn't go into the shop and just looked at what was brought by others to the table we were stitching around.  As it was I still brought home:

Hmmm - yes well.  Its my birthday next week ... I'm allowed to :)

Oh speaking of which, my mum is flying over to visit me for a week!  I"m so excited!  Mum flies in on Wednesday night after work and flies out again next Wednesday morning.

Guess I'll be spending Tuesday morning getting the house ready for visitors.

Other than that, I hope everyone else had a great week and some relaxation .....

I'm off to drool at the Polstitches site - I think I like the fabrics for the Passione Ricamo designs as much as the actual designwork ......

Happy Valentine's Day !!!



Yes it is the morning of 14 February ... I've driven and then walked past three florists this morning and I swear they have the world's supply of roses outside each shop !!!!


Well seeing as none of those roses or anything else is coming my way this year (yes self pity .... ) I decided to do a small S.E.X run to PTP


FireWing Designs - Singularity (chart and fabric)
Moonflower Designs - Stellar (kit)
and a present for mum: FireWing designs Shadow Storm (chart and fabric)


Then I came to work. On the way as well as seeing all the roses intended for other people, I stopped past my Post Office box. Inside was a package from VicStitch - an ONS based in Victoria - I don't remember ordering from them lately ....


IT WAS A PRESENT !!!!!! "From the Dragon" it says!


It contains a chart - Heritage Stitchcraft Silhouette: Late Shift and
a quarter (70cm x 50cm) of evenweave fabric. Colour is eggshell/pewter/ivory/china pearl ???


WOWWWWW !!!! Thank you Hilary !!!!!!


Umm as there is no invoice or anything with it - could you let me know what the fabric is please :)

Edited to include picture - also in RAK album.
