UFO RR finished

With finishing MW last weekend I had to find a new project for the weekends and I settled on tiger I sent out on the UFO RR late last year who came home almost done.

It kinda feels like cheating to have worked on this as a weekend project cause I knew he'd be done in a weekend but on the other hand if I didn't it could be a long, long time till he got finished.  And besides he fit's in with my goal of finishing projects that I started the year with.

So here's how he started out yesterday morning (its also how he come home after the UFO RR)

And here he is earlier this evening.

I have to admit I'm not very happy with the way the whiskers have turned out but otherwise he's lovely and I adore his nose!

Mary Wigham Happy Dance

I finished MW yesterday, yay

A quick reminder of how she started out in April

And here she is in all her creased glory :)

Close up of the changes I made 

Yes I know a couple of the initials appear twice but I can't help it if my Mum and brother share the same ones or my eldest DD and me do.

I started Mary way back in 2009 when Needleprint offered her as a free design over a couple of months then she got ignored and put away in the drawer for a while until Pat and I started our Quaker Friday SAL and we both decided to work on our Mary's after a while.

A huge change in Pat's life meant we had to stop our SAL so Mary went back in the drawer until April this year when I finished Scary Book and decided that she was up next.

She's on BST from Sparklies and other than putting my own initials in she's stitched as charted

A finish and an update or two

I finished LHN Schoolgirl Lessons a couple of days ago.

It's on a very pale lilac evenweave but I have no clue what and I used NN 153

Update #1 is my progress on Mary from the weekend.

Update #2 is the continuing saga of my Birthday Givaway.

It's been 2 weeks since I did the draw and I've not heard from Lynda so I've had DBF pull another name out and this time it's Ann from Beadlework.  Congratulations Ann
