Round Robins

My rotation was side tracked when Julie's round robin arrived.

This was lots of fun as I wouldn't normally stitch a witch.

I'm back onto Fallyn now, end of rotation photo soon.

I have been teaching myself Chain Maille jewellery making and I'm thinking of trying to sell some at the local Saturday market

I have really enjoyed making them and I have more supplies on the way to make new stuff

Still no computer

My nephew is fixing it for free so I can't complain :P 

So this update is from my phone as well 

Sunrise Laguna Mermaid 20 hours

Back to Fallyn now and then Deep Blue Sea will come out before we see Sunny again

2017 Goals

This year I plan to blog a lot more regularly!  Our computer is getting fixed and my daughter loaned (I say gave) me her camera  so I'm still on my phone but as soon as the computer is back I will upload better (hopefully) photos

My stitching goals for this year are:

Minimal starts!  Except for my guilt free January start, I plan to only start obligation pieces.  And finish some wips

I went through all my wips and I have 43!

My GFJ start is Sunrise Laguna Mermaid from Mirabilia

I have started a rotation that I am calling my 10 hour wind up rotation, basically 10 hours on Sunrise Laguna, 10 hours on Fallyn, 10 hours on Sunrise, 10 hours on Fallyn, 10 hours on Deep Blue Sea etc until I have my maximum amount of projects, by which time I imagine I will have a finish or two and then I will start winding up again

Here is Sunrise Laguna

I am nearly finished my 2nd round on her so I will add a new pic soon.

Here is Fallyn after I last stitched on her

Thanks for stopping by

AUDREY!!

Audrey is finished!  I was having a really bad day yesterday, and then my order from Cross Stitching Art arrived and included in it were the beads to finish Audrey :D

She is stitched on Fantasy Wings Opalescent 28ct lugana from Crafty Kitten :D

I also found these pics on the camera when I downloaded the photos :D

Gabrielle (now aged 13)

Bethany (8)

And my sweetie :D

*hugs*

Still waiting on beads

So I can finish Audrey :)

Last week I stitched on Chatelaines Summer Mystery.  It was school holidays so not much done

Before

After

This week I'm stitching on an old wip Dawn from PR

My fabric is actually all the green, better pic next time 

In personal news my health is a bit crap.  I have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes :(. Metformin made me quite unwell so they are trying something else before I have to inject with insulin 

My numbers have improved but not enough, even though I've been really careful and eating really low carb.  So I'm feeling a bit sad for myself and teary today.  It's at times like these that I find my faith wobbles a bit

*hugs* to you all

Wow what a week!!

Well actually a few few weeks!!

My son Christian (17) spent a night in A&E  then had his appendix out the next day.

All 3 of the girls then got a nasty case of the flu and we had to take a week off school.

This week things are back to normal.  I've started a knitting project for the meanings during school time.

This is for Aliyah.  After this I plan to make the same one for Bethany in that chocolate brown.

Here is my stitching from several weeks ago.  Sorry for taking so long to share a pic.  I didn't get much done.

But I love her so far :)

I also started Charelaines Summer Mystery but I didn't get much done before the flu hit.

I'm taking part in a NZ rr, my first piece took forever to arrive then when it finally did the next piece came the next day ;-P lol so I'm busy stitching in those for now :)

Thanks for stopping by.

Ugh!!

I have hardly stitched for ages now 😜.

I really really really want to but have hardly any mojo!  Just when I start to stitch again my mojo leaves 😳

I feel so tired all the time it's depressing 😭

Well what a bunch of "I" sentences!  My English teacher would have a fit!

Gonna try regularly blogging again, not sure whose out there still.  Might need to go through all the blog links and find whose home 😄

*hugs*
