New ProjecS


Yes, you read right I've started a new project.
This year I WAS supposed to ONLY work
on UFO'S but I only lasted until April.
not the best at keeping resolutions.
These UFO'S could be anything from my cupboard,
from just needing to be finish off, to a complete new 
start, just as long as I did NOT buy anything, or too much.
If you could see my cupboard you would understand that
is not a big ask.
But a new pattern took my fancy


It's not really a new pattern just new to me. 
From Viv's creations  2003.
Santa and his reindeer could look good flying across
the office, plenty of time to do them before 
Christmas.
But I couldn't wait, put aside all other stitching so I could start.



Santa has been traced.
He has a patchwork quilt over his knees to keep
out the northern hemisphere chills.


Rudolph, the star of the show is already stitched.

All is not lost,
the fabric and most of the threads 
came from the cupboard.
I only bought the pattern, some threads, weave line
and bag wadding to make them stand up better.
So I am still doing my little bit for the 
economy.

Update


It's been a while I know but a lot has happened in
my absence,

I attended a hens night
A very long time since I have been
 to one of these. A bit of fun and a very attractive waiter. 
This was followed by a wedding.
The happiest I have ever been to with a very beautiful
bride.  Of course.

Work has been extra busy, which I great.
 The time certainly flies.

I lasted until April to break a new year resolution.
Yes I have started a new project,
 at least the fabric has come out of the stash.
It's only a bit of fun, but more on that later.

Time for a folly update


I had made one of these,


Now there are eight


I made this mess


and turned it into this,


and then all these.
Two more to go.

Then some applique, join them all together 
for the next border.
I do feel like I am getting somewhere.
