Friday Frolics update ...

My dear friend, Jo, from Serendipitous Stitching, introduced me to a new acronym the other day - OAAT (One At A Time) stitching, when she commented on my last FF post about my new start "Too cold to go out".

Well, this Friday Frolics (yesterday) I actually did TAAT (Two At A Time) stitching.  During the day, when the light was better, I stitched on "Too cold to go out" and then in the evening (when I had less good light), I stitched on a new Christmas design from Rico Designs, which happened to take my fancy.

Now, enough chat, let's get to the nitty gritty - the pics!!!!!

Too cold to go out

This is where I got up to after last week's FF...


... and after some stitching during the week, I was up to here....


and then yesterday I managed only a bit of progress, as I had to frog the dark grey for Milo twice!  Aaagghh!



Christmas Design

 I had a bit more success with my Christmas stitch from the Rico Design book.



 This is what I had accomplished during the week.



... and this is my progress after FF (the fabric colour is truer in the pic above)


Now, this piece has no name.  It is rather prosaically called Design 77796.  However, I am calling it "Snowy Russian village"
 The reason for this is two fold.

One, the onion dome on the top of the tower reminds me of Russian churches.


Two, you may remember last week that I posted this pic of Furio reading my gripping thriller ...


I think that Brigitte, you asked the name of the novel, well, it was called Moskva and I found it to be a compelling thriller and can highly recommend it.



So, that is all for me for now,




hugs, Kaye
