MMMM Post 4...

Excuse me...

Yes you.

Could you please tell me where October has gone?

Haha. My goodness, week 4 already?! It's crazy how time flies when you're stitching smalls. ;)

Well, as I promised yesterday, I have a finish! Woo hoo!

'Winter Birdhouses - Keeping Watch' by Mill Hill

18 Count White Aida Stitching Band

2 over 1

Started 1/10/14 Finished 24/10/14

Added: Holly charm at bottom

My snowman is done! :D I cannot tell you how good it felt to put the last bead in. Haha.

Never again shall I get one of these kits. Not unless Mill Hill decide to separate the beads. Besides the bead sorting I loved stitching him up and I think he turned out really well. I'll hopefully have him finished and ready for hanging by next week for the last MMMM post.

A few days ago I started Santa and Rudolph. This is how far I've gotten...

These are so quick to stitch up. I may be a little over ambitious here but I'm hoping to have this and Gingerbread Boy done by next weeks post. :) We'll see how I go,

Thank you so much for checking in and I'll see you tomorrow for a stash-y type post.
Thank you as always for reading, commenting and subscribing!
Until next time,

So thank you for checking in and I will see you tomorrow.

Magic mirror on the wall, who is the stitchiest one of all?

Not me that's for sure! Haha.
Weeeeeelcome back! It's another glorious Friday evening and so it must be time for an update!
I have not done a lot of stitching between Wednesday and now. No, instead I've been having S.E.X. :D Lots of it! Haha. That sounds so wrong.
But more on that soon.

These last few days I have put down the Mill Hill snowman. I love beading but for such a small project that's a loooot of beads. So instead I went out and got some 17 inch spare bars for my Q snap and picked up my HAED Snow White. Here she is from the last time I worked on her...

And here she is now...

Please excuse the snaps and my PUG-jamas! Get it? ;)

Here is a photo a little bit closer...

And what movie did I have to watch while stitching her?

Oh yes :)

See, not a lot but at least I'm tackling that black hair. Haha.

So, onto the S.E.X ;)

I don't have photos as a lot of it is still on it's way but I promise some haul photos on it's arrival. What I can show you is my first ever Châtelaine!

How exciting! Haha. I chose the Mystery XIV Swan Lake. I have to admit that as much as I love Ballet I have not seen this performed. My main reasons for choosing this one were the colours and the swans. haha. I live in Perth, Western Australia so swans, especially black swans, are kind of a big deal. So much so that we even put them on our flag...

...See. Haha.

I also chose it because it's absolutely gorgeous!

I can also tell you that all of my materials have now been purchased for DUCJC2015, minus the 2 empty spots that I will purchase after Christmas with my Christmas cash. I have also purchased an LED floor lamp with magnifying glass and clip to hold patterns. I am so excited for that to arrive so I'll have some better light during the evenings.

So I think this post has been long enough now. Remember to check in on Sunday to see the winner of the give away! Until then, thank you for reading, commenting and following!

MMMM Post 3...

Hello again! :)

I can't believe we are already half way through October.
So it's time for another MMMM update. Unfortunately I don't have a finish this time but I do have a lot of progress. Here is the before...

And the now...

Not as much progress as I would have liked but all progress is progress! :)

If you would like to see who else is doing the MMMM challenge then head over to

Pull the Other Thread

And now for something completely different...

Well, not completely...

I have a bit of stash. I love hand dyed fabrics but I hated waiting for them to ship from the US. So I was so happy to come across Sew it All. It is an Australian company that specialize in Needlework fabrics. As much as I wanted to go crazy and order one of everything, I behaved and ordered 3 pieces of hand dyed evenweave. Here they are...

The colours don't show so well in the photos but Fairy Floss is bright pinks and purples, Dryscape is a beige with a hint of green and Roseglow is a subtle blue/green with some pinky/red shades. I have plans for each of these already ;).

Well that is all for tonight, sorry that this post is a little late.
Until next time, thanks for Reading, Commenting and Following!
