Well that was a windy weekend , Saturday was sunny but Sunday was far to windy for me .
This week raced away yet again , but I did go out a few times .
Not much happening at the moment I find the winter months dark and boring , and can't seem to get going even with lots of things to do I can't seem to settle .
I stitch more at night time , and don't really want to pull my stitching out untill then.
Maybe when it gets warmer I will start stitching more in the daytime in the sun room but if the sun is not out the rain makes so much noise ,
I do have a new finish to show you , and my knitting , another book you might like .
I have been spending alot of time looking for a large ginger bread house chart well I have now found one and if I find another I like I will stitch another to , trouble is I then start finding more designs I would love to stitch and really have to tell my self no , but that only lasts a moment ha.
If I get on ESTY I can waste all day and have an empty purse , I try to limit my time on there if possible !
So new stitch and finish just in time for next week .
This was a monthly set of charts from the time windows by Marula.
It was such a fun stitch and I really loved stitching it . Stitched on 28 ct on a oddment of material .
I still need to set it on to some board and pull it in at the back a bit more .
Knitting next well don't laugh I have had this pack over 30 years and thought it's about time I should knit it .
I use to knit for years and as a job and I really went off knitting for a long time , just knitting the odd thing for the family .Then I worked in a wool shop and use to spend my wages on packs of wool .
So I think I should try and get some knitted up at last,
They may not even sell the wool any more ha.
I like the style of this one not to baggy .
Close up you can see the pretty colours .
Knitting it I would say it's a Aran weight
Book of the week .
If you have little ones , this is a lovely book to have in your book case.
Another sweet french book .
Hubby found some sale ornaments again so more on the living wall.
How cute is he .
This one is beautiful , and we have not paid full price for any of them .
The Christmas rose is out now and I have one snow drop out .
Well looking forward to reading your blogs this week and seeing what you are all working on
Have a wonderful week and keep smiling and enjoy your craft work and stitching f .

ReplyDeleteYour Feb stitch is so sweet, I just love the pretty heart under the letter F. Love your new bird and bunny!! Still under lots of ice here, I can't imagine having flowers this time of year! The single pink flower is gorgeous, is that a rose or snowdrop? How sweet of your husband to keep you in flowers!! I'm glad the days are getting longer, hopefully that will give me more energy soon!

Your February finish is adorable, June--such a bright, happy piece for the month. Yes, winter is long and dreary. I am SO tired of seeing nothing but snow outside, although, I have to admit that the ice storm made everything look so pretty and magical last week.
ReplyDeleteThe yarn colors are so soft and pretty! And I love the sweet book--such darling children and patterns. I can't wait to see your living wall all dressed up with plants--I'm sure you can't either.
Do take care and I hope February goes quickly and March (and spring!) will be here soon. ♥
What pretty yarn June! That sweater is going to be very cute. I love your February stitched piece too. Do you plan on stitching the entire year?
ReplyDeleteYes it's been very windy here too, but not much rain so not too bad. Your jumper looks like it will be lovely and soft, love the colours, and your little monthly peice is cute. Have a good rest of the week x
ReplyDeletePretty little February stitched design, such a lovely finish and that gorgeous wool and pattern you are knitting. fabulous. I never know what to knit these days, I´ve always liked the hobby but now the kids are grown and the grandkids seek other fashions.
ReplyDeleteOoh what a nice finish for Feb. I like it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty swaeter. I like the yarn.
Have a wonderful week and Happy knitting/stitching :)

ReplyDeleteHello June, I haven't commented for a while, but I always read your blog. I love the sweater you're knitting. Like you, I have been a knitter all my life, but didn't do much for years (it seemed to go out of fashion, didn't it?), but now I knit all the time, in between stitching! The french cross stitch designs are so pretty, I must look for some. Take care, love Diana x
