Weekend finish continued

I think DH is doing a great job on the photo front, much better and lighter than mine. I did this quick Shepherds Bush kit that my DH asked why I bothered as it wasn't a challenge, but dear stitchers isn't it sometimes just about the pattern?

My Ort Jar

These are photo's of my Ort jar. I was tired of my bad photo's so DH volunteered to take some for me since he wanted the practice before he buys his new camera. He has done such a great job I think he can have this job from now on. These threads are from the past 2 years. I am a little disappointed that we are not in our old house where the birds use to nest where I could reach it at the end of the season and they use to use the threads that I would spread for them. Oh well, I will just keep collecting.

My weekend finish

I had a productive Sunday as I managed to finish my Purple Snowman and another really quick one which I will post later but here is the picture of Purple Snowman by Shepherds Bush and yes I have already got the Pink Snowman ready to be started. Honest I do other stitcheries besides SB.

Umm, that doesn't look very neat now does it, I will have to iron it and then take another photo and add that one instead. I just felt that I had to add a post before you forgot about me!

As promised

This following Heart Sampler I think is from Better Homes and Gardens Australia? If anyone knows for sure please let me know and then I can add a link to the site. I think the original was in a different colour but I was in a blueish mood at the time.

As you can tell again, these are more stitchings that I haven't managed to sew up. I would love to join a group that meets up just for this specific purpose, then I know I would get them done.

This is a freebie that I stitched from one of my favourite sites, Maryse. I have also joined her latest SAL which is just lovely. You will find the freebie on her blog Maryse

Valentine

Here is my heart collection of ornaments that I have seen in shops, usually around Christmas time. In the background are some stitchings that I will post in the next couple of days. I was tired of my camera and the bad shots (it is the user of the camera not the camera that is at fault) so I got DH to try with his but we ran out of time to shoot the other stitchery for Valentines Day.

Last Prairie Schooler

This is the last of the five that I tried to upload in one hit. There is a distinctive theme here don't you think, stitched up but not finished. I know, I know, I promise to do better. I should post all of my stitched works that haven't been put to some use just to humiliate myself into finishing them. Have a great weekend.

Prairie Schooler

These are two of the five photo's I tried to download yesterday. I will download the last one tomorrow. I have 4 more spaces on this material to do some more Santa's and once they are done it can then go on the pile of things that need to be finished, hee, hee.

I am a lot happier lately as I have finally found a stitching group that meets up each week and they are such a lovely bunch of ladies. I missed my Adelaide group so much that I wasn't enthused enough to pick up needle and thread but I am slowly getting back into the swing of things.

Prairie Schooler

I tried to upload 5 pictures today but Blogger won't let me, hum.

Anyway, we survived the floods. We are the second street from Brisbane River and the water didn't even make it to the first street thank goodness. We felt a little guilty since houses inland were inundated by water and yet here we are only the second street and not a drop. A big thank you to all those people that stopped and asked us if we needed any help sand bagging or moving furniture it was great to see human kindness. Our biggest thank you goes to our first stranger 'Duncan' who did help us do it all and we are now all friends and we were invited to his wife's 50th birthday and hope to spend more birthdays together.

Here are some photo's of the Prairie Schooler Santa's that I hope to make into ornaments by the end of the year. I stitched them a couple of years ago and still haven't sewn them together, you may be seeing a bit of a pattern here. Unless they get framed they spend a lot of time in my finished box and don't move. The colours have been changed as I wanted to use up some threads that I have in my old thread system.

It's a wonderful life

I finished stitching this last year, but as yet haven't sewn it together. This is nothing new for me. perhaps one day I should take a photo of all my finished but not finished projects I have. Actually if I finished them all my craft room would be quite neat. I have a tendency to leave them out thinking I will get to them quicker that way. Huh, just leaves a mess really. Anyway, this photo represents 'A Wonderful life' for me, chocolates, love (of my husband, children and dog) and of course stitching.

The blue material under the stitching is what I think I will use for the pillow, what do you think?
