Oh and a small amount of stitching!

I got carried away showing you my Birthday gifts and forgot to show you the small amount of stitching I have managed to do.  I didn't want to take "Elizabeth" to Darwin because it is always so hot and sticky there, so instead I took SB Queen Bee Sampler.  I did get a bit done whilst in the air conditioning at the hospital each day.


and there's my nice new scissors just popping in to the picture.

I had already done the Queen Bee so did from there down, the writing is over one so that wasn't a bad achievement for me - I actually quite enjoyed doing it too.  I may just continue on and finish this one now.

I have taken my Blessings Sampler and Tis The Season to be framed so they should be back before Christmas.

Queen Bee is looking good Mary and can't wait to see Blessings and Seasons framed. Hopefully it will inspire me to get back to mine. I am still in a stitching lull.

Your Queen Bee is looking lovely. I have mine out and all ready to start, but having just chosen a frame and mats for another SB sampler, I'm reluctant to start another project that I know will cost me money when it's finished.

What an adorable SB piece! Happy belated birthday to you, too. I'm glad that your brother and SIL are better! Love all the gifties that you got. :)

I thought of you this weekend as I was pulling out charts. I pulled out Elizabeth Savilles and my daughter spied it and asked if it could be stitched for her. I guess I don't have an excuse now! ;) It'll be one of my Crazy January starts. I'd love to see a progress pic of yours!

Have a great weekend!
