April 2018 IHSW and FNSI ....

Okay, a slightly late IHSW and FNSI post but c'est la vie!

FNSI first:

I started my Friday Frolics and FNSI last Friday wrestling Furio for control of my stitching - lol!  He really is my stitching cat!

I am pleased to say that I won the tussle (yay! I could beat a cat a 100 times smaller than me - lol!) and managed a finish before my Friday morning coffee group.

Sorry, I did iron it but it still looks a little crumpled!  I made a few changes to the original  - see below - I hope that you like them.

Then it was onto my Temperature SAL.....

Before: 

Progress.....

Pretty happy, quite a bit achieved on this SAL piece.  So, a successful FNSI!

Now, for  IHSW:

For the rest of IHSW, I focused on my Temperature SAL and here is how I went:

Saturday:

Sunday:

 ... and I even picked it up again on Tuesday evening and did a bit more. This is coming along so nicely, I feel.

IHSW_March Report...

I worked on two projects for International Hermit Sew In (IHSW) this month...

1. The Temperature SAL, which quite a few people seem to be tackling.  For some reason, I cannot find the link to the web page for this right now. If I find it I will update this post.

Before:

Progress:

The true colour of the fabbie, is somewhere between the two pics - for some reason I just cannot seem to get a true colour!

2. Cinderella by Mirabilia - a long-time WIP/UFO - before this weekend it has been five whole years since I last stitched on her - shocking!

Before:

Some progress...

Even more progress....

This is what she will look like one day!!!!!

Winter Olympics Rotation Relay for WIPocalypse 2018 Day One...

For the first day of the Winter Olympics Rotation Relay for WIPocalypse 2018 (a FB group, that you can find here) ....

... I rotated around three projects:

Frosty Hopes by Just Nan - this week's Friday Frolics focus piece -  (I stitched a pine cone and added some blue to the snowflakes in the right hand border) 

'Twas the Night Before Christmas by Prairie Schooler (I stitched Santa's hat and his sleigh)

... and lastly I started the 2018 Temperature SAL (after spending hours playing around with colours, I managed to stitch the first five days of January).

... and right now, I am stitching some more on these pieces (and maybe a couple more) whilst watching Day 2 of the Winter Olympics - the Snowboarders today.

Are you watching, too?
