And one for November

I had to finally come here after postponing enough, today is the last day of November after all! No happy dance yet though:)

 
What is remaining:

          Top Shelf
          Back Stitch - a wee bit (on Freddie and those odd pieces) remaining
          Book Titles
          Gold work - just started! and no frustration yet:)
          *Owl portion to be 'book'ed
          Bottom Shelf

I know this is going VERY S L O W, and of late i have had bouts of headache to deal with too. I stitch probably one in every 7 nights, if at all. But then whenever i pick it up, I am so fond of this project and enjoy stitching:) This should be framed by mid March when my son completes 5 years:) I know it is doable. My next step will be towards completing the back stitch and the goldwork, toggling between the two so i have mood for both, LOL

Good news is that I have had most of my work framed, and Heart Note Alley is now in my son's room, the BOINK in the drawing room, Alla Turca and Friendship Heart in my/our bedroom. Couple of smallish ones are also in my drawing room/son's room. I might get those pictures up here shortly.

My son is not keeping well and has not gone to school today. So i decided to work from home, as the sweet little heart needs me around him. My Indian friends from Bangalore can see my green dupatta he has 'thrown' around him!

 

Some pics taken during Diwali time. Diwali is the festival of lights celebrated by Indians. Diwali is an important festival to us say like Christmas is in the Western World

That is all for now folks. Wishing you a very happy weekend and enough stitching time. Thanks for stopping by and leaving me comments:)
