Lots of stitchy news.....

This week, I stitched some more on Henry for my Tudor Tuesday SAL - you can check out our mini FB group here, if you like.


I had a Happy Dance:

My Snowflake Tree is complete - I am so chuffed by how well this turned out.




I also had a Stash Empire delivery.....  Nine A Mon Ami Pierre designs, each is so very lovely!












For some reason I was really drawn to start this one - I think it is because I like that little boy in the top right corner.

Here is the floss toss:


... and here is my progress after one session (Wed night)


and here is where I am up to now (early Sunday morning):



and last on the stitching front, here is my current train stitch - a Halloween Freebie (origin unknown) for my Halloween Ornie Stitching SAL.



... and here is Furio snuggling up into my elbow as I stitch (that grey part is my arm).  He is so cute.  Last night he was all snuggled up next to me, purring away and dozing whilst TraderVic and I were watching Klondike.  All of a sudden, on the show,  there were wolves howling, poor Furio sits up, ears pricked, looking all around for the danger!



Enjoy your Sunday, I am off for an early morning walk with my dear friend, Marie (on whose behalf I must send thanks to so many of you who sent prayers and good wishes her way - she is doing really well on the chemo) and then later my DD and I are going shopping (her shopping, me financing - lol!) at the local shopping mall.

hugs,

It is looking sp great, the finished Snowflake Tree, such a nice design. And great progress on Henry.

Wow, so many new A Mon Ami Pierre charts. She was a very creative designer and it's a pity that she stopped designing, but it's understandable. I also have a couple of her designs, mostly from the beginning of her designing career. But I have never stitched one of them so far. Maybe I should do so. I love your new start, great choice.

Henry is looking great, very regal!

The Snowflake Tree is lovely too, who is the designer for this one?

The Mon Ami stash is amazing, one design in particular leapt out at me! I wonder if you can guess which one it is?
