Hello everyone!  Hope you are all well on this wet rainy day here is southern UK...

A couple of up dates.. 

first the Hello Kitty I am doing for Han... 



As you can now see I have stitched the outside .... just wondering if I should add other colors..pinks... white... or leave it like this?  What do you think? 

Here are the other wonderful fabrics I received from Polstitches... Jon (other half) found them and got them for me to try... I really like them :)





Oooh yes!!! This should say X2!! ha ha well one mine and one I am spreading the word about..

Good Luck :)


I have some happy post today.. my subscription copy of Cross Stitch Crazy... and ooooh freebies too!!  I will flick through that with a nice cup of coffee..




Yesterday I showed you one of my books... as I thought it a good idea to actually stitch something out of it!....

I think I may well make this a feature ... working my way through some of my books...

Here are 'some' of my books.. I have run out of space to store them!



And the book I have chosen to stitch from is...


I will post my updates... put here I am ready to start... hmmm yes I was actually at this point yesterday but never started as Han wanted me to concentrate on her Hello Kitty!  So Kitty is on hold for the moment so I thought why not start this!! 





Happy stitching to you all.... until later.. keep smiling :)

  1. I see the Margaret Sherry kittys on the front of your new magazine, they are so cute and gorgeous, but I remember a project I stitched once that drove me nuts with all the backstitch for their fur...it did get finished eventually though.
    You have a nice selection of books, I see a couple of titles of ones I have the same as you.
    Hello Kitty looks nice, perhaps Hannah should make the decision if to stitch the kitty or not, as it will be for her.

  8. I think Kitty looks lovely as she is. I used to hoard cross stitch books like that but I'm trying to thin them down a bit now before the bookcase collapses ;)
