Well it's been a few weeks since my last post and I thought it was time for an update in relation to my ongoing UFP's!
I have managed to finish one of the projects on my January "to-do" list:
I finally got the "Sloe Fairy" finished!
Have to say that I didn't enjoy it that much towards the end, and the back stitching was a bitch! It should have a little mount to go with it, but I don't know where this is. It may be here in my flat somewhere, or in a box in the loft at my brother's house. If I find it I shall frame it :) x
I've also been doing a bit more of the "Marigold Fairy":
One to pick at slowly. I did some of this at my Monday afternoon, but being stooped over stitching on such a small piece of aida plays havoc with my back!
Been having another clear out through my stuff (I have so much shredding), and I came across yet another flower fairy kit I'd like to do:
It's the " Cherry Blossom" fairy - the kit came from World of Cross-Stitching magazine in 2011! Annoyingly, I lost the chart, but thankfully, my mum (who also buys this magazine), had the chart so I was able to copy it.
Might be a while before I start it though ... still have too many other WIP's to finish! ;)
I haven't been able to work on any of the crochet and knitting projects, but I've made some more headway on the Gettysberg project:
It's such a slow-going project, but it's getting there :)
I've had enough of blue and grey so I'm working on finishing the Union soldier's face and hands!
So that's all I have for now,
Till next time ... keep Kalm and cross-stitch! :) xx
Beautiful finish and excellent work on everything else.
