IT'S FINISHED!

Its done! The first pic is straight from the hoop. The second pic is after it has been edged, ironed and is now ready for framing. Or realistically, being wrapped.

Now to wrap it, and get on with everything else I have planned for the day. Its a cool, wet, miserable day, so I'm feeling good being inside curled up on the lounge. Need to be domestic now, clean house, wash clothes etc - about to start working 6 days straight from tomorrow.

Mel's Sunday update - early

Morning all,

I'm spending today doing some house cleaning (and yes getting back to the unpacking - maybe) and then Paul is coming over tonight for dinner and another "talk". As I've spent all week working on his birthday present, its going to be packed away now and not brought out again until after he is gone. So I may as well post my weekly update now.

The pattern: Ruritania Alphabet from World of S
The fabric: Peacock Fantasy by Stitches and Spice (32 ct hand dyed Belfast linen)
The thread: Bejeweled by Crescent Colours.

As my relationship with Paul is not as it once was, I will only be doing the P instead of his whole name, with charms and beads that I had originally planned.

Anyway, this way I get onto more projects faster :)
